love heart

i just wanted to say a big thankyou to all the fantastic people who blogged about the art exhibition.
you are very kind and i think i may just LOVE you.
so thankyou to : patience, & frankie mag & matthew & liss.

ive been secretly wishing to be noticed by frankie for aaages. so this feels like a nice step in the right direction.

p.s. i am obsessed with ferragamo shoes.
and finding the perfect 50's vintage party dress on etsy.
its proving rather difficult though. either they are too small, too expensive, or they sold out last week. sad face.
p.p.s. i love these girls.

sometimes you make me cry

im trying not to be nervous about the art show.
which is difficult, as it seems that being nervous is what i do best.
time is escaping too rapidly. im going to wear a shiny red dress.

i havent painted in ages. i felt a blockade in my hands and my head.
i want to go dark. say goodbye to pastels for a while. focus intently.
dark gemstones and open palms and Colosseum marble.
who knows.
leopards on leashes, vials of green poison, boys devoured by sadness.
girls who nurse and mend. romeo dreaming of juliet. boys thoughts, not girls ones.


yesterday was a mushroom day. when you wake up and behind your eyes is grey and you feel puffy and slow and you cant really see anything in front of you properly unless you focus real hard, and stay out of the sunlight.
but, with much happiness, i put aside the mushroom mood and saw my falcon gang. no banana pies, but brownies and burgerlicious instead.
new girls, zine fair, white rabbit, bouncing ball, train fare, strange hugs.
my heart is full of love for friends.
i feel glad that i will have such snappy shoulders to cry on (if need be) when wednesday night rolls around.

excitement

i have had such a happy row of days.
dancing, drinks, music, picnics, yayoi kusama, tall boys, great girls. i am in love with all of my friends.
my kitten is being a biter, but thats about the only bad thing i can think of.


i just wanted to write down that i am glad to have a feature in the vintage issue of dujour magazine.
you should see me grinning. im a cheshire cat today.
my head is all shiny shiny tap shoes and cloud pillows and pearl kisses.



sometimes all the good things happen at once.
and its just amazingly overwhelming.
life seems like it has woken up all of a sudden.

freakout

the weirdest thing ever happened to me on friday.
i was out shopping with my mum, and i saw a pretty girl carrying one of my tote bags!
now that was a first for me, so it was a shock in itself.
BUT..the strange twilight zone factor was that it was one of five bags that i had made especially for dujour magazine. i sent them over to america to be handed out with subscriptions... so what an amazing coincidence that a girl from my local area in australia now owns it...and the fact that she was shopping at the same time and place as me. too strange. especially because the central coast really isnt known for its coolness or culture. i was so shaken up. i get so whacked out by those kinds of things.

reverie

last night i had a dream that i met sofia coppola and she just decided it would be nice to hang out with me.
even in my dream, i was in awe. and i kept saying her name. she was wearing black.


then it switched to a dream of sliding through an abandoned house because all the floors were waterslides.
i didnt like that.
