8.
i am waiting for you in the kitchen.
hidden in white ceramic tiles,
and tea cups.
god, i hate
being so invisible.

9.
i spin around in your bedroom.
i make the bed.
i take a shower and get real clean and
wait for you to come home.

10.
looking at a calendar trying to figure out
which month it is, which month it was.
the weather is so ordinary in your life.
you're not warm, you're just cold.
you're just dying,
which is not something you want,
but is not something you don't want either.

funny girl

best barbra movie ever. love how her outfits reflect her gradual maturity.

play it again sam

so i've been watching only woody allen lately on the weekends and of course i love it for its dialogue but also, for the clothes. oh the clothes. today i watched play it again, sam and diane keaton's look is incredibly relevant and modern. i especially loved her pleated maxi skirt worn under her maxi coat with the pleats peeking out of the bottom of the coat. details. (i wore a similar outfit with a tartan maxi and tweed coat i had when i was in college.) the costume designer is anna hill johnstone and i definitely want to see the others movies she's worked with just for the outfits.

i need a matching sweater and beret set.

it's hard to see but she's wearing lace up wedges with knee socks.

bright star

movie still.

wedding attire

i have two weddings two weekends in a row in new york and was really excited for a chance to get dressed up after months and months of living in my boyfriend's chinos and layered baggy tops. the obstacle of my outfit was to hide my middle area and lengthen my short legs. my choices came down to



-1920s floral chiffon and lace dress
-philip lim crepe cocoon dress
-1930s chiffon crepe dress (with amazing buttons in back)



i opted for the philip lim dress. it hid the areas i needed to hide and showed enough of my legs to lengthen them a bit. it was worn with the chloe wedges shown with black opaque tights and a black cardigan. (with my hair up in heidi braids.) the black chiffon crepe dress i'm holding onto for now and the 1920s dress should be going in the store sometime soon. (unless i start my p90x diet and exercise regimen.)

long time

it's been a while since i've updated. things were a bit in limbo for a while here. at one point, i was ready to move to l.a. but am now staying in fl. a relationship is a lot of work, esp. the stage where i am now - the third year. it's been pretty rocky but things seem calm for now.

i'm not moving to l.a. but we are moving into a new home. it's an exciting change and it'll be nice to no longer have to go up elevators and walk down long hallways to get to my front door. and it'll be nice to have a backyard. but i will miss have super high ceilings and friendly gay neighbors.

the place is pretty much move in ready, save for some paint that needs to go on some walls, esp. in the kitchen.

it's cute, like the rest of the house. and if you have any color suggestions for the kitchen, please let me know.

quite sad, esp. towards the end. i agree with much of what he says, esp. about fashion being frivolous.
