Katsup Lyfe & Besos ;-*

I only listen to the same five songs on repeat. Whoever can see my spotify activity is ready to unfriend me for life.

Back a long while ago wearing - vintage cashmere cardigan, yiling bling bling, fluffy skirt with navy flowers, chevron striped rights, l.l.bean boots and topped with a navy bow ;-*

• *BESOS*       ;-*

Well this just makes me want to dig myself into a deep deep depression - like a hole through the world to the other side and into China. But I really can't stop watching and listening to Rihanna's "Stay"
I don't care. Rihanna is the most beautiful woman in the world. ♥

• Also have a million pictures from the blizzard and just overall depressing stuff. Just feeling totally overcome by general senses of apathy. 

My school is clearly really into nutrition...

and positive outlooks for the future..

During the blizzard I watched a billion and a half movies. The half movie was Woody Allen's "Manhattan." I'm actually really surprised I even made it to the near halfway point. There is honestly something about Woody Allen that I just CAN NOT stand. Especially in this movie, he just seems like a huge jerk - self deprecating and cocky at the same time. Maybe I'm not smart enough to get his humor  or Lena Dunham's either - because the characters she writes for herself are just the same kind of annoying. (to me anyway).

Tried to watch "Shaolin Soccer" to recover - definitely lost all focus by then. Also, love this guy. ♥ ♥ ♥

More pictures from the snow & my desktop. #Packratlyfe

Huntin' + Collage + Pascal Bernier + Taxidermy +++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

• Muggin' in my messy, hoarder-style room. 
• Wearing: GINORMOUS thrifted stretch sweater & Levis
• It is good to be home :) :) :) :) :)

• partizany
• Just trolling around on tumblr like usual and found this cool collage artist's blog. 
• *clack-a-lack-a, clack-a-lack-a*
• *typing sounds*
• *reblogs*
• *reblogs*    

• Pascal Bernier
• Also took a quick look-see at French contemporary artist Pascal Bernier's work (& his still life farm sets in particular..)
• I am still not 100% sure how taxidermy makes me feel. It's crazy to think how casually people treat taxidermy and display them in intimate spaces... 
• Once, I went to a science museum with my friend and they had all these stuffed animals (beavers - with real teeth!!! :/ ) and baby bears that you could go up to and touch ....There were some patches on the animals worn down from over-petting. It gave me the shivers. I worked really hard to muster up the courage to pet it real quick, but after barely patting my hand on a dead wolf's back I just felt like I wanted to wash my hands..
• My friend Rachael had no problem stroking the stuffed animals and laughed at my nervousness. Haha.     
•  Here is a video inside Bernier's studio ..
• What initially caught my attention were his "Tableaux de Chasse" works, which feature taxidermied or skinned doe with wigs and makeup..
• Looks like Tyra Banks might have also gathered some inspiration from these pieces - an ANTM Cycle 20 photo challenge had models pretending to be mounted animal heads...

• Ran a google image search on 'tableaux de chasse' and found the resulting image (below)
• Also, not gunna lie, I kinda like these "hunting themed" scarves..

• crappytaxidermy
• A personal favorite of mine - this blog has the best/wierdest/creepiest/coolest/most disgusting taxidermy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Trying to read more ... haha. 
• Just picked up the The Tale of Genji - wish me & my short attention span luck!!
• Earlier this week I tried to read "One Day" - one of a bazillion books they made into a movie... haha
• BUT! I couldn't get past the first 60 pages :(
• a) because I'd already seen the movie - so true that movies SOMETIMES ruin the books..
• b) because I just realized I really don't like romance novels :P :P #yikyuk

• And on Book-based movies - I went to see "Jack Reacher" with my parents this weekend!
• My mom has read basically all the books
