Reblogged from thecoolhunter.com. The idea is they'd sit outside major events selling obesity through their cuteness.
His name is Peter Jakubik, and if your partner's got it in his bedroom, run
It's a pen holder. Obviously.
Witty or what? Or what, bachelor boy. And there's a reason you're single.
They're meant to be spanking paddles. The caption reads Make up your vanity table and become sadistic icon by using this handmade mirror.
My Idea for Valentines Day
Normally I think Valentines Day is a horrible embarrassing mess, designed by someone who hates people like me, but this year I'm almost looking forward to it. Why?
Call me old fashioned, but I love the idea of mixtapes. Their is something so sweet and romantic about the thought of picking out the perfect songs to express how you feel, songs you want to listen to with them, songs you really want them to know about. I think the idea that there will never be another CD with that track listing makes it extra special - you're the only person who will ever have that CD.
Cards and flowers ect. are nice, but there is no really personal connection between the giver and the receiver. So this Valentine's day, I'm going to burn a CD and give it to the guy I like.
Here's my track listing -
1) Toothpaste Kisses - The Maccabees
2) Something Stupid - Les Shellys
3) Ridin' In My Car - She & Him
4) If You Leave Me Now - Chicago
5) I Get A Kick Out Of You - Ella Fitzgerald (No other version. Shh. Don't even suggest it.)
6) In France They Kiss On Main Street - Joni Mitchell
7) These Words - Natasha Bedingfeild
8) He's Not A Boy - The Like
9) Fidelity - Regina Spektor
10) I Put A Spell On You - She & Him
11) The First Taste - Fiona Apple
12) Wild Horses - The Rolling Stones
13) Save Me - Nicki Minaj (Fits because she's telling the guy she's a bitch but he can stop her being one.)
14) Dream A Little Dream Of Me - Mama Cass (Loved it since I was six)

The Problem with Embellished Bags
So, as everyone who goes to school knows, it's useful to carry around bags to keep your books in. For the past two terms I've been carrying around a shoulder bag carried in beads - a different one each time. The first one was sky blue with lots of flower patterns in an Indian style decorated with loads of different beads. The second was a beige bag with geometric Indian style patterns (you may begin to notice a theme here) decorated in different beads and plasticy-gem things. It's honestly less tacky than it sounds.
So, for the first two weeks you carry them, you feel different, cooler. In a school that's ultra-strict on uniform, bags are practically the only way of expressing your individual style, and with you it feels extra-individual. No one has the same bag as you. It's a little bit retro, a lot of boho, and slightly hints at a long history of travel. Hell, you develop a bag superiority complex.
Then, after a bit, the problems start. It starts with one bead falling off. "Yay" you think. "I can keep this as my lucky charm." Then another. And another. The pattern becomes unsymmetrical, then uneven, then ceases to be a pattern. The look goes from boho to hobo, and those two swapped around letters make a hell of a difference. Suddenly, those endlessly repeated pink and navy striped canvas totes start to look desirebal, even though a few days before you'd have rather spat on your Grandmother's grave than worn them.
So next term, I'm going for white leather with fringing. Bring on the spoilt little rich girl.

So, I guess I owe you an introduction
I really was hoping that this wasn't going to turn into a diary, or just pictures of things I found that are pretty, so I'll try and find the middle course.
I'm in my mid-teens, not yet openly bisexual, female, and I guess slightly different to my peers, though not by much on the outside. I've got my hair cut like a boy and I love skinny jeans. I wish I'd lived in the mid-1970's because I'd have fitted in so well with the punk movement - it all seemed so exciting back then! I get my depressive moment I suppose but I'm not an emo, though I think people who take the piss out of them should stop creating stereotypes. I'm outspoken and love politics ect. and I want to be an investigative journalist. I'm a rampant feminist and think Germaine Greer deserves a bloody medal. The closest I've ever come to a celebirty experience was meeting Kate Mosse, the writer not the novelist. I probably spend too much time on the internet, and I'm too easily influenced.
So that's me.

Quote
"Mozart has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal slopes of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm beaten sides of Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good."

Beautiful
Just an amazing dress. If yellow suited me I'd want to wear this to my wedding. I know it's not original, but I love the way lace plays with the borders between nudity and clothing. No wonder it was so popular in the buttoned-up Victorian times
Angels............
So we went to Germany on a school exchange, and on the way to a church, we stopped in a military monument to commemorate when the German army had beaten Napoleon. Inside where these amazing/beautiful/creepy statues. I took a few pictures.
