days are taken








it hasn't felt like december lately...the last time it snowed was the day before thanksgiving! craziness.
not much has been going on in the outfits department either - the most exciting thing i've warn in the past few weeks has been a skirt with a parade on it. (one of my grandma's skirts made by my great gram. the other four have running horses, roses, harlequin, and a lighthouse/seaside.)

house, '30s hats, field studies, ski town, hel looks, kathleen clark.

every summer i wonder what's so bad about winter, and every winter i wish i was in god damn hawaii


thrifted gap dress, black tights, mudd shoes.

wore this on thanksgiving...i painted my left hand fingernails black because it was the 20th anniversary of Freddie's passing. i didn't include my face/hair in this because i was having a truly horrible hair day.
i haven't been posting a lot of outfits on here because i really hate dressing in cold weather (i'm not good at layering at all), and in these months my parents don't go into portland for fun a lot. (which means that my sister and i don't, either.) our immediate family is pretty small and we all live within 30 miles of each other, so the holidays aren't too incredibly hectic, and maine roads - especially in winter - are kind of bad. so my mom and sister and i just stay in our cabin, usually, which means pajama pants and sports bras.

you don't sing and dance in juvie, honey









i discovered the runaways this week.
a few days ago i decided to listen to cherry bomb, since i'd listened to it sometime last year and not really cared for it, and i just fell in love. i listened to the rest of the album, and then queens of noise and live in japan. i haven't been able to bring myself to listen to waitin' for the night, though, because of cherie's absence. (jackie left, too, but she didn't play on the first album either so?)
most of the girls were 15 or 16 when they joined - i mean, barely 16, making intelligent, head-bang-worthy music in lingerie and hotpants?! instant respect. (not that teenage girls can't make good songs or something because of their age, it's just fairly rare in the mainstream at the moment.)
it's pretty much guaranteed that i'm going to start borrowing my mom's leather jacket now, and the search for platform boots is ON.

i don't have the credits for all of these, but the pictures of joan in the street are by brad elterman.
