blood red shoes and twin peaks this is almost as good as david lynch and william eggleston, maybe i will focus my unit two photography on recreating twin peaks scenes instead of making my pals dress up like bunny boy from gummo
i got a totoro purse for christmas and i spend my frees rearranging him into various positions in my bag. i was walking out of school yesterday and three girls behind me shouted “OH my GoD ShE HAS A KANKEN!!!” they were quite a bit younger but thats not the point! i blushed like crazy and turned to my friend saying “i told you i was cool!”
it’s very exciting that sarah is getting uni applications so much so that i’m inviting myself along to all the interviews, does anyone know what falmouth is like? i still have quite a bit of time before i NEED to start applying, mum has got a book called “so your child is going to uni a guide for parents”, it’s very scary because i feel like a child still and way not dependent enough to feed myself. (rebecs and florence can i sleepover at yrs one day if i get in somewhere in london??) it is also becoming such a good year for gigs, tomorrow night harry and i are going to veronica falls which is going to be followed by kabeedies, allo darlin, summer camp, xiu xiu, pulled apart by horses, blood red shoes and los campesinos!
my mother asked me to explain to her what circumcision is and it was honestly the most awkward thing especially when i was like, well you know what, it looks like…
blood orange (dev) produces the coolest grooves, i definitely DO NOt send off cool vibes especially when i’m dancing around my room to this, but whatever!! (no one is going to stop me)
maybe one day when i am not as lazy i will have my own record label “mystic PIZZA” and i will be one of those ‘ironically’ uncool people!
blood red shoes are playing norwich and all i’ve done today is watch “20 funniest videos under 20 seconds” and concluded this video is definitely THE funniest. i wandered around town all afternoon with pals, finding old porn mags in bins and talking to owners of dusty camera shops. keiran bought a destiny’s child album in Poundland, what!
some art i’ve been doing:
first blog in 5 dayS!
this is me pretending to be the girl from moonrise kingdom feat. billy!!!
i have been very busy doing nothing lately apologies!!
sarah and i were being super sassy chicks last night her dad called us “two peas in a pod” as we squashed into her single bed with the laptop on our lap, i then ended up on my floor bed with sarah showing me pictures of calum gunn on various things whilst we discussed kissin boys and boning to “totally bone” by dkroyd, i felt like i was at a 13 year old sleepover party it was the BEST!!! this morning i was forced to crawl out of bed and turn my alarm off whilst sarah watched los campesinos on letterman, then i got to hang out with sarahs parents this morning we cruised listening to placebo in the car headbangin and i even got to text sarah’s dad! Harry and i got falafel and found tons of sweet things, i bought some blank postcards from excotic places so i can send people things like “the weathers great, wish you were here!!!” and pretend that i am actually away and not sitting at home, i also bought grand TheFt auTO vice city which doesn’t work :( and starter for ten as well as a navy boys jumper for stitching patches onto
my dad is asleep he just farted really loudly this is the WORST
if i had a tiara i could be enid coleslaw (i wish)
i actually got the bus and recieved my treat for doing so, aka seeing the little black pug in it’s red coat! today was mildly dull but hardly painful, the hand in for arty things is in two weeks and everyone is fighting to get things finished.
exceptionally inspiring males include these above;
i watched tons of videos on william eggleston and i have decided that as a photographer he is one of my favourites, his high contrast images almost look unreal how he can capture such beauty in the plain, shopping trollies, discarded toys. He is definitely an endeering extrovert character, i watched as he played piano to his photographs and how he spoke about how he chose art and music over “character building”. He is also very fond of the work of david lynch and they met for the day to discuss photography, he talks about it here. The work of Eggleston has influenced Twin Peaks, Gummo (harmony korine), the virgin suicides (coppola), Elephant (van sant). Talking of TwinPeaks did anyone else do a massive “dale cooper kiss me” when he kisses annie? also dont ever google to see what the guy who plays dale cooper looks like now, he reminds me of richard from richard and judy!!
los campesinos announcing their tour today has made me do a bIG YAy
look guys I have been doing things!!
er, this is part of my “”final piece”” and is a response to tracey emin/ christa maiwald i have two others to make which are more ‘mixed media’ as i’ll get a better grade for doing that which is ALL WRONG but anyway, it is focused on the idea of christa maiwalds ‘garden party’ but i am sewing rapists onto underwear

“excuse me can i take a photograph of your shop”
GOOD HAUL
i spent a good couple of hours wandering around town, for the first time i finished a film in one day (kinda) and it was really nice apreciating everything. I think i got very bogged down taking photos of “people” at parties or gigs and forgot how beautiful the city i live in is, even through imperfections.
anyway, i got some christmas vouchers which paid for my illustration book and then bought the fanzines book as a treat to myself as it has lots of beautiful pictures of feminism zines and i saw someone i knew and they said “why would you spend £20 on a BOOK?”, which makes me angry because it’s like me saying back to them, “why did you spend so much money going out on weekends”, i got the cat mug and book on stephen hawkins (ha ha) from a charity shop, the pinapple dance studio wearing cashier said that my mug and totoro purse was super cute! Then i went to boots to collect my photographs (which i will upload) and i couldn’t find my slip to return, but the woman behind the desk told the lady that i was a regular and gave me my prints!
cute fings come to those who wait
i wrote a huge paragraph about my imminent failure of everything but decided that i’m much better getting on with things than slobbing around on here. tomorrow i have to hand in english c/w, do an art and a psychology exam none of which i am in the slightest bit prepared for!!!
me and paul the bt man were best buds after i offered him a cuppa, i sat on the stairs chatting to him for a good hour i gathered quotes like “if my house was burning down i’d save my ipad, forget the kids!” and “my phone keeps going off and my laptop doesn’t work and they have put a tracker in my car now!” we were chatting so much he tried to leave but kept saying something else until i had to physically close the door on him.
Lawrence came, i think they stuck the sticker on the wrong way but it is beautiful Matador sent it on the 21st of December from New York so its been on a long trip and is now resting on my shelf.
ALso i am decorating my bigcartel a little but i cant decide on logos and things (see first picture) i am the laziest at selling things maybe i will do after tomorrow
my next door neighbours daughter gave birth to a boy called benjamin, which coincidently is the name of my first real high school boyfriend. He broke up with me after a month because of long distance and having no money to see me, when infact it was a 20 minute, £1.20 bus.
