Like Pinning A Donkey's Tail

"Some people fear that they are no more than the sum of their cultural reference points:

the books read,


the films seen,


the posters on the walls


and records on rotation.


I am happy to admit this."


It was an awesome ride Alessa and Mj
Thank you very much.

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Although it is late...

Happy Holidays

Wish you all had a drunken Merry Christmas and one

that is way better compared to Christmas 08

Cheers

Where do you belong?

The Street style-slash-punk bunch?

or Classy and Preppy?

or the Androgynous-slash-Tomboys

or the Gypsie-Hippie-Chill-Cozy crowd?

Or maybe just all of the above?

Give it back

I miss this show!

Alive and Awake

It is wonderful

how one person’s exodus

Can be a genesis to the two left.

Jesus wants the freaks back.

Trying to calm myself

Whenever I start to panic and have those anxiety attacks, I just immerse myself in anything related to fashion in order to calm myself. For now I'm trying to not think about the next supertyphoon coming to hit the country and just find myself lusting over these to to-die-for mesh pieces.

On another note

Keep on donating, volunteering, and keeping ourselves informed and updated!

Hi I'm Pearly
and
I'm useless.

The Space Between

It has only been a few days

but we are already wondering where you may be at this moment,

what you're: wearing, eating, thinking, dreaming about

It has only been a few days and we already sorely miss the other 1/3 that make up this pie

Tu nous manque Mj!

Take off

When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side

Of the road, turn out the lights, get out and look up at the sky
And I do this to remind me that I'm really, really tiny
In the grand scheme of things and sometimes this terrifies me
But it's only really scary cause it makes me feel serene
In a way I never thought I'd be because I've never been
So grounded, and so humbled, and so one with everything
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything

 (I Like Giants, Kimya Dawson)

There are times when I feel so small, so insignificant.

And, to be honest, 

it feels nice

because

We're not as complex as we think.

Don't you see?

Our burden is that we are what we are.

Highly Compatible

Pour myself a cup of coffee full of sober nights,
Cos nicotine and coffee are my friends in this fight

And you, you keep me warm
You, you keep me warm
All your cigarettes and cup of coffee
It keeps me warm

Dig

Some things are better off lost.

then again, maybe that's just me.

The kid is alright

When I turned 20, I told myself to just drop everything and let things be,

let myself be.


I guess it was a right decision.

Everything's going crazy

but here I am


Just alright.
