Writing


I'm writing a bunch of silly stories and drawing a bunch of pictures to make a book for a friend, hopefully by valentines day.


Once there was a girl who kept rocks in her pockets and flowers behind her ears. She had a pet rabbit, but on November 5th it disappeared. The rocks got heavier and the flowers began to wilt. Filled with questions and guilt, she threw herself off the tree house her father had built.

Getting older getting slower


Getting older is usually seen as a bad thing. At one point all I wanted was to be an old lady with sweet weird style that wore joy division shirts and cardigans with pumpkins sewn into them and a big grey bun on the top of my head. Now I'm not so sure. There's something really great about being so young and still discovering everything.

However I still vow to look like one of these gals when I'm older.

In tune: CocoRosie


The Casady sisters formed CocoRosie in 2003, making hauntingly beautiful tunes. Their music is almost a mix between folk, electronica, opera and blues.  


I suggest listening to 'Sunshine' which is very sweet
And my favourite, 'Werewolf', posted below.

Girl Crush - Emily Browning


It's hard not to fall in love with the Australian born beauty, Emily Browning.
In 2004 she stared as Violet in the mysterious and  whimsical 'Series of unfortunate events', a admirably smart and caring character who struggles to escape the grasps of an evil uncle when her mother and father die, leaving herself and her two siblings orphans.


Miss Emily also has a beautiful voice, showcased in her 2010 film 'Sucker Punch' where she was cast as the femme fatal Baby Doll. Her blonde locks, big lips and brown eyes are simply dreamy.



Finally, Emily's performance in the independent film "sleeping beauty' is outstanding. The film reminds me of the whimsical and illusive feeling of 'The Virgin Suicides'. It's both beautiful and haunting. A must see for everyone.
