I have wanted this dress for a while, was disappointed to get it and find the bottom was a weird satin :/ Which is fine, some people like satin, but it makes me feel like im wearing a costume or I really hate it when its sewn in with cotton (the top).

I found this little card of St. Michael on Satan's back laying in the driving-path of the cemetery. I love windchimes in cemeteries. I recently bought an iron grillwork pole and a windchime for my mother's grave. Everytime I pass one I stop to listen to it's particular song.
I recently watched pans labyrinth so I expect that the next few photosets I do will be tree and wood orientated.
I'll probably delete this, I've been so apathetic about photography and uninspired, this is probably the most boring set of photos ive ever uploaded but I wanted to upload them anyway because it's been a month since I've dragged myself outside and tried doing anything for a photo that wasn't an outfit shot. I had some idea about baby powder and one photo came out decently (as in, you can even see the powder) and the rest are just idk, why even take them. I need fresh ideas for things. I need to watch whimsical movies and get inspired.

How fantastic are these mary janes from Demonia? Ill put up a good outfit photo next week sometime but for now, webcam joy! I think there is a sweet 4' platform on these babies. All I want to do is wear slinky, thin-strap party dresses with these and daisies in messy updoes and bright red lipstick and 90s-this thing all the way through summer. (I want a clear backpack and a tamagachi and ring pops and a cassette player to listen to incesticide on).
Sorry for all of the SI, just one of those weeks, my fellows.
Other than that! Things. I painted my poe with oil paints - it was my first oil experience and despite the droopy eye and general horribleness I feel okay with it. And a LokiDoki I was working on with watercolors, finished the night sky behind him first.
A friend asked me for a straight on, unphotoshopped photo where my skin isnt as white as the bride of dracula, and here it was. Which is all well and fine but I prefer my blown out webcam photos where the tim burton circles under my eyes are given due respect! I dont know, i feel like faces are so borring sometimes.

It's really hard to look at this kind photo of yourself as a woman and not have ten million body issue phobias scream through your head, and I hate that. I hate that that is what I notice in photos more than I notice anything else, or "I should not have sat that way" because it isn't a flattering or stretching pose and how stupid is that mentality? I shouldn't have sat that way. It really slays me as an intelligent, fairly easy going woman. I take responsibility for 99% of who I am as a person - but I could watch the world burn for what the media has done to me as far as self-image goes. That being five pounds over double digits right now in weight has me feeling as if there is an entire section of my wardrobe I cant wear and i know it's stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid but years of brainwashing does that, even to people who know better. It's a sensitive topic and I try to keep my blogspot pretty light but when I take a photo like this and I feel real dread looking at it and feel the need to explain myself - this post started out explaining why I look so bottom heavy here, the skintight skirt without stretch, the socks being too tight, the angle, the scrunch, boots that add no length to my legs, and I stopped and felt really ashamed of myself. I even thought about trashing the photos and not uploading them and I thought, really, do I hate myself so much? It's truly cruel what the world turns us into, and what the world has us thinking and dwelling on. I don't have the time to finish the vampire cronicles but I have the time to sit here and try to figure out a way to cut more from my already restrictive diet. The blithering ridiculousness of it.
Also the SI, I should note, is something I am comfortable posting because it isn't an emotionally-tied act, it's just something I do because I like pain and the subsequent scarring. I have a big, big, big love affair with scars. It hurts my feelings when people treat my SI photos as something taboo or ugly or something they have to comfort me over - I am never happier than when I have some to upload and I think they are just beautiful, from beginning to end. It also hurts my feelings that flickr restricts SI photos. Anyway, these are my first SI's with my 50MM lens and I thought they were dreamy ;)

It is impossible for me to make an outfit out of pants, everytime I wear one/photo it I am jut so beside myself with the failure. Anyway, LOOK AT THAT BACKGROUND IMAGE :D new ring, tat.
