so this Oasis break up.
this is not okay at all. at first it was funny and not serious to me at all considering this same thing happened a trillion times. but now it seems it’s final and my phone a friend life line is gone. Oasis cannot leave my life. those songs are such a huge part of my life i cannot describe it to you. but it’s okay.
I am moving to Chicago tomorrow morning. wtf? i’m finally excited. i hope that life actually happens there.
in memorial:


Went to see one of my favourite bands ever last night, the Kills. to say the least, they fried my little brains.
tons of random, weird things happened. I guess I’ll try and sum up the night in bullet points? my thoughts are not complete at the moment.
- Jamie Hince asked us to light his cigarette, and we did. talk about a random as fuck moment. I have a hard time believing that Jamie Hince ever goes without a lighter on him though. Not that I care. I was just like “dude.”
- really wanted to ask them for a photo when they were sitting next to us but I feel so awkward doing that. especially when they are in conversation. instead a snuck a creep ass photo.
- someone explain to me how moshing alone ever happens? okay, I get moshing and all that if there’s a group of people doing it. but when you are there alone, drunk off your ass, and trying to insinuate a mosh pit, please just give up and save yourself and everyone around you.
- the Magic Stick/that entire building that houses like 9 different things is the greatest venue because it allows you to smoke inside. I hadn’t been there in over a year. yeah anyway, the law in Detroit is too busy worrying about people getting shot every day to worry about smoking indoors.
- I forever hate Faris Rotter from the Horrors (opening band [I know]) for more reasons than one, but now I have a new one. my friend passed out during the Kills encore which was terrifying and we won’t even go into that. But somehow we got ?sort of backstage? when I dragged her out of the crowd. I’m like, busy trying to revive a life here, and Faris walks by us literally 4 different times. I’m like DUDE, can’t you tell I’m freaking out and I know you can’t do anything because you’re dumb but can someone please acknowledge the fact that I am having a crisis right now!?!!? Faris walked by us so many times I thought he was running a fucking marathon. and he did nothing except drink and look at us conspicuously.
- We met these people there that were kind of with us the entire night and kind totally trashed. I’m still trying to figure out how seeing a show totally trashed is enjoyable whatsoever. they were nice though.and the girl Stephanie shared some drinks with us and had the backup cigarettes. meeting people at shows is so strange because usually you end up getting their numbers and you look in your phone the next morning and you have no idea how or why.
- The Kills are incredible and I don’t even know who I have a bigger crush on anymore, Jamie or Alison. when they played “Kissy Kissy” I almost combusted into 100 flaming suns.
Check out my photos (they suck) if you wanna.

I don’t know how, but in my internet searches last night (the only thing I do when I’m sick besides sleep on the couch/moan about life), I came across this girl Miroslava Duma. Apparently she is a Russian “it girl” (I hate that term) that is an editor at Russia’s Harper’s Bazaar. I don’t know who her dad is but he apparently is somewhat well known. And I think she’s married (!!!!!) to some really wealthy Russian businessman. I try not to envy people but oh my god I envy this girl. She has the best hair ever, is totally gorgeous, and has an intensely good talent for wearing clothes. You have probably seen her around on Garance Dore and the Sartorialist.
Definitely a new style icon pour moi.


givemethatoutfitnows’ilvousplait.



anyway. She’s just a fresh face that I love. I feel like…. there is no one here in the States that demonstrates the class that foreign “it girls” do. Sure, Miroslava wears tons of designer labels and carries tons of expensive bags, but she still makes it look good. Our it girls in the States just put on something by YSL and thinks they’re fashionable without doing anything else. Fashion is not about that. It’s all about how you wear something, what you feel like when you’re wearing it. Your own personal touch. Our it girls are flashing their vaginas to get noticed. It’s sick. Like Russell Brand said in his recent comedy special on Comedy Central upon meeting Britney Spears… “it’s a bit weird to meet someone when you’ve already seen their vagina.”
America needs some help.
I seriously just googled both “Jessica Alba” and “Jessica Biel” (they strike me as typical American it girls) and all the pictures I got, they were half naked. And not tastefully or artistically. Wtf?

… and I could certainly use a release!
That is one of my favourite scenes in all of film history (from Funny Face).
I think I speak for the entire female population when I say if there is one woman that we could look like, speak like, contain half the charm of, it would be Audrey Hepburn.
But…. doesn’t it bother you (ok I might be speaking for myself here since I am still surrounded by a lot of dumb people in school) that girls always quote Audrey or talk about Audrey but have never seen any of her movies? Breakfast at Tiffany’s doesn’t even count since ever single living human being has seen it. I hate that. When people are like that with anyone it bothers me.. i.e. Marilyn Monroe (never seen her in anything, never cared for her *runs* so I don’t talk about her but, she’s a good example) and Andy Warhol. the next jackass I see going around flaunting photos of any of them or quoting any of them… blah! I don’t know, this is probably just a pretentious rant, but it drives me crazy. You don’t know something about someone by carrying around a tote bag with their face on it.
like okay, what the fuck is this?

Actually… this post thus far reminds me of THIS
Here are some highlights that reminded me of me/friends/assorted hipsters:
In college, most hipsters study photography, graphic design, English literature, creative writing, or some kind of history so that when they graduate, they’ll be unemployed and spend their days listening to music and attending Cut Copy concerts.
They prefer to have a full bed or larger so they have room to sleep with their MacBook, iPhone, Moleskine, a pile of dirty American Apparel clothes, a copy of last month’s “Nylon”, an ashtray full of Parliaments, and an empty beer bottle or two.
They love and vicariously live through “Gossip Girl” because they don’t have the money or power to act that way in real life. Also, god forbid, they’d most likely lose a few Facebook friends if they were that bitchy.
Be warned: when they’re driving in the passenger seat of your car, they *will* change the song or radio station without your permission.

Maybe I should blog about something that is of any substance/interest for a change.
Before I start into all the interesting stuff, Martha Stewart made me cookies.
I wish I was kidding when I said that. I wish I meant Martha Stewart as a nickname for someone I know that is good at baking, but I mean the Martha Stewart. THE. MARTHA! I don’t know why. I’m not sure if I should eat them or fossilize them and stare at them for all eternity? That woman is my hero.
I am going to New York City (!!!!!!!11oneoneone1~) on Thursday morning (it’s so early in the morning it’s basically still Wednesday night) so I won’t be updating this (tear tear, I know you’re hurt) for a while. I will be coming back late Sunday night (so late it’s basically Monday morning) and I will be pooped out for a while I’m sure. But whatever. I’ve been to NYC before for like, a day, so this is my first real time there. I’m so excited. Excited is the biggest understatement in the world. I’m afraid that once I go I will never want to come back…
I don’t know what the hell we’re doing besides the art stuff. I think we have a ton of free time. Suggestions for fun things to do, anybody?
I cannot wait to be back in action taking photos. I have essentially stopped photographing anything around here because if it’s around here, I guarantee I’ve photographed it. I’m taking like, a trillion cameras and it’s taking up a shitload of my carry on space but that’s all worth it to me. I cannot wait to be somewhere new and breathe new air and experience the city life again. the only places in the world I feel right are big cities.
I am feeling the cheesy New York music right now. I am listening to some lame/awesome Frank Sinatra… and “Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters” by Elton John.


Anyway, I’m off to continue to spaz over packing everything into a tiny suitcase, charging all my cameras, updating my iphone and ipod, and to generally freak out like the school girl I am.
It’s all happening
Back soon(ish). x
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: bitchfest, disney, hannah montana, i don't even know why i'm tagging this as music, joe jonas, miley cyrus, music, rant, shitfest, the jonas brothers, wtf
I wrote this last night as a note on facebook, and it has 70 comments now. I’m pasting it here and hopefully there will be feedback on it
This country used to produce some of the best music. We never matched with Britain, who churned out bands like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Kinks, David Bowie, in the ’60s, and still has music that needs to be discovered from that era. It was all so good. I can’t imagine living through that. ANYWAY, off topic. They had led punk rock movement with the Sex Pistols and the Clash. They had the Jam. They had Madchester in the 80s. The Stone Roses. The Smiths. Happy Mondays. They continued to do it through the ’90s as well, a terrible generation otherwise, with the invented Britpop (alright, I’m biased here, obviously) with Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Suede (who is actually shit, but who cares) etc. They even continued it up until this day with bands like Arctic Monkeys. Britain has always kicked our ASS in music. And…. although we have been floundering around the last couple decades for a breath of fresh air, and tried hard at times, and come close at seldom, I feel that…….. the end is near.
The end is near, you hopefuls. Because this band. This. One. Band. is going to be the absolute end, the apocalypse, the armageddon of American music.
Everything that America was at one point, (although always second-best musically) a rather progressive, unique culture (i.e. Hendrix, Neil Young [EDIT- in my hungry fatigue and shopping for images, I incorrectly labelled this genius as American. he is actually from the hometown of Rochelle], Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead, and even the shitfest that was Nirvana and Pearl Jam in the ’90s) is absolutely coming to an end. With Tim Leary leading the psychedelic movement in Cali in the ’60s, people taking acid and generally rambling about bullshit, is over. It is all over because of The JoBros. Is that what they call them?
I mean, I really feel like I missed the boat on this one, guys. I really feel like I’m missing something.
America went from this:
to this:
in a span of 40 years.
Now that is impressive and is only a feat that this shitty country could claim their own.
When did America become a country of Disney and virginity? I have NO problem with Disney (acid trip Alice and Wonderland, anyone? What about that hottie Dimitri inAnastasia!? ANYONE HEARING ME!?) and NO problem with virginity so don’t take this the wrong way. BUT. I have an issue when this is what this country stands for. I hate the Jonas Brothers flaunting their fucking bullshit promise rings more than I hate people flauting the details of their sex lives. I just want to know where all this crap originated from. You know… I don’t think I would have a HUGE issue with this if it was just JUST little kids listening to JoBros and Hannah fuckoffanddie Montana (I actually hate her more than the subject of this note, but I can’t write a note about her. If the school found it I would get expelled) but it is MY FRIENDS. PEOPLE MY AGE ARE GOING TO SEE THESE PEOPLE PLAY MUSIC. LIVE. GET ON THAT, LIVE!!!!!! What. the.FUCK. That is appalling to me and I no longer want to be associated with these people.
This is pop culture of hypocrisy. The JoBros flaunt their virginity and Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana (girl, like the Who said, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!? SERIOUSLY. WHAT IS YOUR NAME? THAT FIRST ONE CAN’T BE REAL EITHER, CAN IT?!) flaunts her slutiness. Can I direct you to her google image page? I can’t even save a picture to post it. My macbook is going to get rabies. Or herpes. Or a new disease that only HM can breed. This girl is like, I don’t know, 12? 16? WHATEVER. THIS IS DISGUSTING. This girl is porn.
I hope that America can see its way out of this crisis. This is honestly a bigger crisis than the American economy. AND THAT IS SAYING SOMETHING. THAT IS REALLY SAYING SOMETHING. There have been glimpses of hope along the way. The Killers were promising for a while but they’re kind of dead now. Anyone else that is relatively good (i.e. Kings of Leon) are only popular in Europe because if anyone in this country is seen smoking a cigarette or being bleeped on MTV then it’s like, this huge ordeal. I don’t understand this and I never will. I just really, really missed the boat on this Disney thing. I DON’T UNDERSTAND. It seems like everyone else can produce normal music. I am hopeful in America’s hat, Canada. Even Iceland has fucking Sigur Ros. what the hell, everyone. What the hell.
I’m only tagging people I think will agree with me because not only do I know I’m right, I don’t care about the other side of this argument. I know I forgot people. But I do actually want to hear what anyone who listens to the JoBros thinks of this note. Mostly so I can laugh at you for the rest of your life. But I do hope that everyone and their mother read this.
I’m also tagging a shitload of foreigners because I want to know what you think of this.
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: bastards, boycott, dunkin donuts, fuck this fucking place, FUCK THIS SHIT, FUCK YOU, incompetence, shit, wtf
I have a new place to boycott.

FUCK YOU. FUCK. YOU. YOU FUCKING SAD FUCKING BASTARDS. I HOPE YOU ALL ROT IN FUCKING HELL. BTW THAT FUCKING COFFEE IN THAT FUCKING PICTURE LOOKS TERRIBLE.
So. I just drove to Dunkin Fucking Donuts (THEY CAN’T SPELL ANYTHING FUCKING RIGHT IN THIS COUNTRY, CAN THEY?). After a really appalling day at school and a really appalling rest of the week I was like, alright, coffee is a must. Right now. So I drove to DD in the hope of some refuge in the form of coffee. I had a bad feeling about this trip before I even had my issue. The motherfucker in front of me in the drive-thru took about, like, 7 minutes to get his shit? But I won’t blame the sad bastard employees for that one. He got way too much shit for his own good. Like 3 fucking boxes of donuts. GO INSIDE YOU SAD BASTARD. THE DRIVE THRU IS FOR COFEE. Then I pull up, and the bitch at the window is all “sorry, what did you order again?” And I said my thing and she like, charges me so fucking cheap for it. I’m like, is that it!? And she’s all, yeah , that’s it *bitch face.*
THEN. THEN. She comes to the window like 3 minutes later and is all “actually it’s 3.50″ or whatever the fuck she said, and I was like, I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT AND I DO NOT EVEN WORK HERE. AND I’M NOT EVEN A REGULAR. So I’m angry about these incompetent people already. She takes my money and comes back to the window like 5 MINUTES LATER. And is like, can you pull up? It’ll just take a couple minutes. And I’m like, well, there’s no one behind me. And she’s like “err….. okay….” And I’m like wtf~??!?!!?!?!?!? WHY DOES IT MATTER WHERE I SIT IN MY VEHICLE. Then some other dumb ho comes to the window and is like “you need to pull up. We’re on a time thing.” First of all, I have ABSOLUTELY NO BLOODY IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS. TIME THING? But I think I do know what she means because my brain capacity is larger than hers. I think they get timed on how long it takes them to do something. So I pull up like, 3 feet and I was so mad I didn’t say “well then maybe I should sit here and see how much longer it takes you so your fucking manager can fire you and give your job to someone who fucking needs it.” AND THE GIRL WAS LIKE, HAVING AN ATTITUDE WITH ME TOO. I WAS LIKE. YOU ARE NOT GIVING ME A TUDE RIGHT NOW YOU INCOMPETENT SAD WANKER
I’m sitting in front of the fucking drive thru window for like. 4 more minutes. I can’t deal with this. I fucking drove away. with no money. and definitely no coffee. I left my 4 dollars with that fucking bitch and drove the fuck away. Then major road rage proceeded to occur .I cannot even tell you how angry I was and how angry I still am. That was like, a half hour of my life that I want back. holy shit I’m SO ANGRY ABOUT THIS.
I am now boycotting this place. I hope none of you go there. Go anywhere but here.
These sad INCOMPETENT BASTARDS. oh my god. I hope one day to live in a world where people like this don’t exist.
In other news, my girl Eva Mendes had the most enviable dress of all time at the Golden Globes last night.

I kind of forgot about writing in here for a few days.
I went back to school yesterday. It was appalling. The entire experience. School is so pointless to me at this point. And that for me is the hardest thing to do, go through something you don’t want to when there is absolutely no purpose to it.
I don’t know what to blog about. Does anyone else hate the ‘b’ word?
OH HERE’S SOMETHING. I’m going back to London. For the first time in two years. In June. My best friend’s parents are taking us and we’re using their friend’s flat. It’s 10 minutes walking distance from Hyde Park. I can’t even deal with that awesome. And well, the plan for about a year was we were going to spend a fortnight in Paris. But I can deal with being in London and commuting to Paris a couple times. Wow. I need to get all the info about it and let you all know what it looks like. This news is the ONLY thing getting me past finals.
In other news, Patrice sent me this wonderful thing in the mail:
a homemade holiday card. It made my day
And in other other news, Abby drew Noel. And it’s fucking incredible. LOOK AT IT BIG.
This post has been utterly useless. I hope you are all doing fantastic.
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: confession, gossip girl, oh no, penn badgley, wtf
Wow. Okay. This is really embarrassing, but I’m going to admit it.
I might lose some friends over this, but I hope you all know I love you very, very much. You all mean the world to me and I don’t want to lose you over anything, especially this.
I have…. a problem.
I’m obsessed with Gossip Girl.
I hope that you can all find a place in your hearts to forgive me for this hypocrisy. But this show… is the best thing since sliced bread (or since the OC, oops, there’s anothing coming out [of the closet] party favour).
I think it might be the clothes that are displayed on this show. It’s mindblowing, these fucking clothes. I want them all. Even the ones I don’t want, I want. I don’t know what it is. I started watching the season DVDs with my friend yesterday. We’ve literally already watched 12 episodes. THAT’S A LOT OF TIME SPENT WATCHING THAT SHOW. But the jackets… the shoes… the accessories… I think I’ve lost my mind. I would like to be a member of the upper crust of the upper east side for a few days. Just to walk around in heels and prep school clothing without needing an excuse for it. Do you know what I mean though? It’s like… watching it was like, so addictive. We still have 6 more episodes. Shit.
If I can grasp onto any shred of integrity I might still have embedded in my artsy, pretentious self, I hope I can hold on to that by telling you there was a reference to Truffaut’s The 400 Blows. Does that help? At all? Okay no, didn’t think so.
And everything about Penn Badgley is appealing to me.
I hope that I still have my friends in spite of this post. I just felt I needed to be open to you about this situation, and I hope one of you is a closet fan too.
I’ll leave you with that thought.














(yes I know that’s from the film, my friends, but come on, if it was ANYTHING like that, tell me you wouldn’t want to be hanging out with her). 


Irons is Lolita is just about the best thing ever.
and he is my favourite actor of all time.
