long lost.

hi everyone who is still checking in... to those followers who will be updated.
im so sorry that it has been so very long since ive posted to this silly ole blog.
ive been distracted, distracted by love and life. arent we all i assume??

these days ive come to realize that the place i have been calling "home" for almost 6years truly is not and has never been home to me. ive made countless valuable connections with people while living here but this place has never fully stimulated me. i need more, more art, more creativity, more drive, ambition, more variety.

as ive been saying for some time now, im planning to move...question is where. i spend a lot of time in nyc visiting with various friends who have migrated from here to there. i love nyc, it energizes me, stimulates me and i feel surrounded by like minded people most of the time. my heart truly belongs to summer tho, which is why ive also contemplated the warmer climate of LA, echo park/silver lake areas. ive visited there once and fell in love. the weather, the culture, the food, the vintage, the venues, the mexican hipsters. all something to see and all things i could definitely surround myself with feeling content for quite some time.

i need to make my moves.
for now, i leave u darlings with some fashion photos ive been compiling over the months during my absence............

be kind, be humble and be compassionate. these things will get you far.

splendor, my sweet splendor

Sometime during my teenage years my mama showed me a movie called 'Splendor in The Grass.' she told me about Natalie Wood and her romances with both Warren Beatty and Mister Frank Sinatra. She told me that Natalie Wood drowned off a yaucht owned by Robert Wagner's family. The official theory is that Wood either tried to leave the yacht or to secure a dinghy from banging against the hull when she accidentally slipped and fell overboard. When her body was found, she was wearing a down jacket, nightgown, and socks. A true tragedy.
'Splendor in the Grass' is a passionate love story about a young couple trying to fight for the love they both feel for eachother. Wood's character comes from a lower class family as Beatty's from an upper class world. There was always a Romeo and Juliet kind of pull between the two statuses. I believe this was Beatty's first film debut and Wood looks ravishing, she had true natural beauty that it all her own. Beatty's character's sister is a flashy flapper with a drinking problem and a style thats way ahead of her time.
Im currently reading, and loving Just Kids by Patti Smith. She writes about how Maplethrope's favorite movie was always 'Splendor in the Grass'. When i read that i felt a special kinship with dear Robert as 'Splendor' has always been one of my favorite films as well.
