Truman Capote keeps it trill:

I am Marilyn's mannequin: twice as plastic half as sure. Free-standing, made of wax. Frigid, frenzied, never frightened. Her! And life a reeling, whirring were.

what I miss most about being a teenage diet-girl

is believing that I was only a jean size away from eternal happiness

can I sit on ur face while we (I) watch Aeon Flux?

[tatianacaress]

i should be

in a haze

thinking of ways

I could surrender

to you.

but i

hid behind guises

and failed compromises

and now

all my violets

are blue

[tatianacaress]

I want to live

in an unattached gypsy eye

where all my icky, earthly

impulses

can't stop the loved ones

from loving me.

My favorite thing

about going back to school was always gettin Lisa Frank gear. I was one of those straight-A punks who liked school, (and I still do 😎), buuut I really liked glammin with my Lisa Frank folder. From patrollin the internet a lil bit I discovered Lisa Frank was a college student running with a ring of talented artists and playing gallery girl when she created her own brand. Her headquarters now is on a street named after her in Arizona. Go Lisa! She even has her own ink recipe that gives those dream pieces their special glow. Ooh. I adore Lisa Frank stuff so much. And shout out to the west coast for givin em another good one. #lisafrank #lisaturtle #allthelove

I live

mostly in saturation. Everything is the best or worst thing that ever happened. Breakfast at Epiphanies. Everything pushes me to wanna start anew. I typically don't like sequels; even better I like the first two thirds of the original movie best, before everything goes to shit or gets resolved. On a drive home for the holidays, my momma tells me about a girl she read about who was a model. She used a tampon and caught toxic shock syndrome, losing both of her legs to gain green. My response to this is a look of shock like you wouldn't believe, and asking "how about a nice holiday story?" This girl now spreads awareness about TSS. I don't keep enemies, but if I did I certainly wouldn't wish this on them. Jeez. I think the beauty of this story is in the saturation lie: this girl was a model so her life MUST have been so rad, and now because she lost her money making stems , her life MUST have gone to s***. It's really something else.

There is something about a person losing their legs that just rings out as symbolic: their support in life now comes from such a different place. I like to think the universe knock things out from under us to show us that it is the one holding us and everything up, not the symbols we rely on.

Rock candy is made via a supersaturated solution, where no more sugar can be poured in. I'm sure living off rock candy eventually makes a person look like a meth addict. Rot your teeth out and nooo nutrition.

That's saturation.

And then there's wholeness, which takes into consideration the good and the bad of all.

And then there's whole foods, which deliciously takes my money.

Sooo

Sylvia Plath’s instructions for a hot bath:

-from the bell jar-

For when you feel: sad ur going to die or so nervous u can’t sleep or in love with somebody u won’t see for a week

1. The water needs to be so hot you can barely stand putting your foots in’t

2. Get in that tuuuub inch by inch, till ur up to ur neck

3. Meditate

4. never feel so much urself

The longer you stay, the purer you’ll feel!

if you're going to do something wrong, do it big, because the punishment is the same either way.
