So if you're out tonight, don't forget, if you're on your bike, wear white.

Today, I

...woke up in the shower.
...left my phone at home.
...wore this-



Zara polyester top, BDG Jeans, Mellow Yellow boot(ies? I always thought that was such a lame word)s, vintage necklace.
...and got compared to Hamlet and The Pope. fUk d@ h8rz. And off-days.

P.S. I apologize for the dimly lit photos. I'm kind of afraid of flash.

P.P.S., this.

sins for the sinners

I have mixed feelings about the rockabilly look. I believe it can be pulled off in a very classy manner, or trashy and unattractive. When the rockabilly, pin-up, and greaser looks originated in the 50's, all were unapologetically adorable. Today, I find it difficult to to do these looks tastefully, but a few months ago, Teen Vogue featured an article on rockabilly that really caught my eye, and displayed the look perfectly. It has been dog-eared atop my never-ending pile of magazines, along with the concept still marinating in my mind.

A Little Example of Modern Rockabilly I Find Hard To Handle

Rachel Federoff from The Millionaire Matchmaker. I agree with essentially everything Patti Stanger says, along with the rest of the cast, but not necessarily the style of the cast. Regardless, they seem to be doing their jobs correctly and be overall very entertaining, so I put my differing opinions aside.

Ever since Nirvana released Bleach in 1989, a revolution began. Drenched in oversized flannel and ripped skinny jeans, a new genre of angsty, fuck-the-world teens emerged from the Pacific Northwest. Their unique style, sound, and lifestyle left a permanent impression on pop culture, and recently, the concept of grunge has made a comeback.

I'm not sure if this one qualifies as grunge, but regardless, it displays the extraordinary awesomeness/crackheadness of Cory.

In The Desert

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter – bitter", he answered,
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."

-Stephen Crane, 1895
