corrupt without being charming

I promised a glimpse of the little sewing project a while back, so here we go.

it's a stupid little bag that was meant to resemble a football (got the idea from this bless football bag) but the fake leather I used was a little too thick.

I know the outcome would have been totally different and better had I used actual leather, thin black suede for example, but I'm happy with the thing anyway. the only problem is that it looks stupid empty and that nothing really fits in there....but never mind that.

I'm off to spending my 19th birthday right now ++ will be back with photos of some beautiful things I pampered myself with earlier today :-)))

I never should have cut my hair

all photos claude maus

I apologize for the large number of photos. I simply couldn't take any out. I found this designer through this blog and I have to say I'm impressed. it looks effortless but so damn good. the cuts and colors drive me crazy.

ps photos of the sewing project coming up S O O N.

I think the hottest guy out of these is the one on the right. love his face and his hair, I'd say he looks as perfect as a person can.

01 my cravings list from a couple of days ago that you probably can't even read

02 I can now strike through the wedge sandal part of the list  

(I already regret having spent money on such a plastic pair of shoes. they're not going to look good for long. everyone has them. not to mention the fact I don't need heels as I never wear them. ahhhh shit. but I have excuses---they were on sale. and I was in the money and hadn't bought anything for over a week (!!!) and in addition they had my size. so I went for it. )

ps the sewing project is now completed. it's just a pain in the ass to photograph. I'll try again tomorrow if the weather (----> light) is better.

excuse me for these short stupid posts --

I'm trying to cope with the new (already frustrating) job, sustain a social life, sew something very time consuming and mind challenging plus sleep enough.

be back shortly when the sewing project is finished!

I'm posting this page from russh australia nov/dec08 again because...

1 it's the most inspiring magazine ever made

2 if you ever get your hands on this precious publication, hold on tight

3 I don't have a scanner right now so I can't give you any new pages

4 it's got grey, black and peach - can one ever go wrong with that threesome?

5 I'm craving to read the new russh issue right now

6 the rodarte tights, no matter how copied, are just great

+++ that orange lipstick!

this past week I found a great customer service person in myself, walked barefoot on the wet streets, fought with my father and spent some great days not trying to impress anyone but just being my very own self. 

+

walking in town criticizing everyone and everything,

laughing at stupid things and stupid salesmen at diesel

wondering who to vote on the european parliament election

finding the perfect leather jacket but not affording it

then borrowing money and living in debt and making stupid pacts with myself

polishing the old fragile second hand jacket with some beeswax shit

planning to wake up early and heading to the flea market

ending up sleeping in and falling asleep on the floor

choosing the biggest burgers on the restaurant menu and feeling sick

eating again after a few hours

laughing at my dad whose feelings got hurt when a pigeon turned their back on him

that's what the past two days have been about.

 

goodbye my lover

this morning I walked to my hairdresser's in the hot hot heat that's been pampering us finns for the last few days. I walked there my long hair open and flowy. and hour and some minutes later I left the place almost crying, with hair that barely touches my shoulders. 

I've spent the last few hours googling efficient ways to grow your hair. 

bah life goes on and hair will eventually grow long. probably.
