Currently I’m having some gold fever, pre and post Washed Out show. I thought I was going to the show by myself after poor Rae had to finish a paper, but thankfully some friends met me there and it was a great time! I will post more pictures later, until then you must marvel at the golden nails.  Also, pictured last are a couple of my favorite new things! Especially my Andy Warhol finger puppet, which I got at FMoPA*, where I will be interning for the summer.  *FMoPA: Florida Museum of Photographic Arts. It’s located in a really amazing building and everyone that works in it is very nice and I can’t wait to start in a couple of weeks! The current exhibit is Andy Warhol, thus the puppet.

All I can think about is getting out in the sun, which I can only think to blame Bridget for since she is a California girl and a lover of sunshine. We went to the beach a few weeks back; she blared music as we sped down the highway with the windows down, the quintessential spring day of a girl living in her twenties.

After months and months of nagging, Scott finally took me sailing. Now you see I can’t really take myself sailing as it is a learned skill I don’t possess, though Scott really tries to teach me. Sooo, yes, it would be fair to assume he did most of the sailing work. And me? Well, I worked on my tan.  P.S. Please note how close we were to the water. We were held up by a thin net suspended less than a foot above the water.

When I look at the shapeof America on the map,my love, it is you I see:the heights of copper on your head,your breasts, wheat and snow,you slender waist,swift throbbing rivers, sweethills and meadows,and in the cold of the south your feet end its geography of duplicated gold. Little America excerpt - Pablo Neruda 

When I look at the shape
of America on the map,
my love, it is you I see:
the heights of copper on your head,
your breasts, wheat and snow,
you slender waist,
swift throbbing rivers, sweet
hills and meadows,
and in the cold of the south your feet end 
its geography of duplicated gold.

Vanessa - Grimes 

When I was younger I could not imagine myself past age 20. I knew what I wanted to do later in life, but I had no idea at what age I’d be able to realistically accomplish all I’ve set out to do. Right now I feel frustrated because despite my nearsightedness I feel that I should be further than I am. I am frustrated because I know the only real obstacle in my way is me. I need to suck it up and get over past disappointments and head forward.

Oblivion - Grimes

Cause when you’re really by yourself
it’s hard to find someone to hold your hand

I am interrupting this unintentional blog hiatus to tell you that I am a little bit in love with Grimes. I read an article about her in Dazed and Confused before I heard her music and what I like most is that she comes off as unpretentious; she is off-beat in a good way and her interest in making her music so connected to herself. I can’t say I like every song on her album Visions but it takes me to a different place and at this stage in my life, its a good thing.  Photos from Dazed and Confused by Heidi Slimane

There was once upon a time when I sternly looked Trey in the eye and asked (demanded) that I be his muse for a song. 

He says I commissioned it, rather than acted as a muse, but it’s a small detail we must all overlook. 

On the other hand, what is difficult to overlook is the horrid quality of these photos, but what can you do.* I spent a few hours hanging out (as muse) while Emily, who is an amazing violinist, and Trey worked on the song. 

-

* I guess what I could do to improve the quality of photos is to pay attention to my camera’s settings. But again, lets not get stuck in the details…

Can you spot Emma?

I work in a lab with three cats and Emma is by far the furriest. She is also the least social and likes to hide lest you try to molest her with love and scratches. Needless to say, she was not happy when I invaded her cubby hole space.

Guys. I am interrupting my salad to tell you about something I really love right now, Vanicream. I cannot remember the last time I felt comfortable going out of the house without makeup on (I have redness and I am prone to break-outs), but today I wore none and my skin felt and looked really great. It’s really liberating to go out with a naked face and feel good about it.  It’s a great price and really great if you have rosacea or just general red/dry skin. Read about it here. It has safe and relatively few ingredients. I’m not one to go advertising products unless I love them and I don’t know why, but this works. Read some reviews! You can find it at Walgreens. I haven’t been in any CVS that carries it, but the pharmacy can probably order it for you.  Here is a poor picture of my salad, which I am about to devour.
