“Tragedy always brings about radical change in our lives, a change that is associated with the same principle: loss. When faced by any loss, there’s no point in trying to recover what has been; it’s best to take advantage of the large space that opens up before us and fill it with something new. In theory, every loss is for our own good; in practice, though, that is when we question the existence of God and ask ourselves: What did I do to deserve this?” — I’m still reading Paulo Coelho’s Aleph

Fave outfits of the month…

I know I usually do the accessories, but lately its just been a leather jacket and a Longchamp bag type of affair, but its always worth throwing on something a little bit glam in case the day gets a little bit less busy eh?

This is gorgeous. “Bitches Brew” Western Edition series SS12…

Stack the Deck exhibition by Phidias Gold. So neat.

Came across these on Juxtapoz earlier… There were a few more but these are the ones I really liked. Wish we had these movements in London, guess we have to wait a few years, like we had to wait to have an actual music scene.

Dwayne Bell and Lucy MacLeod Collab. Exhibition

Scottish illustrators Dwayne Bell and Lucy MacLeod have come to together to combine visual forces in their new collection of individual and joint works entitled “Convergence.” Spawned by their mututal obsessions with mid-20th century lifestyle illustration, pulp fiction covers, and vintage comic books, this retro-flavored show with a contemporary twist opens April 14th at The Outhouse in Edinburgh and runs through May 20th.

It’s been an emotionally beautiful week, for Pisces people at least, I can only speak for my species. The Tupac hologram was a special moment. There has been a lot of negativity circulating what had happened, but I still think its a beautiful thing that his creativity can live on through someone else’s amazing ability to create those types of motion graphics. The only negative was that I feel the image was recreated to be too sexy. Pac was a handsome dude, but maybe some respect should have been shown in that aspect. But hey, I’m back, even though this flu is attempting to really f*ck with me, but hey… I Am Here.

“I do”

Today was a very tough day, interesting but tough… On my way home I was thinking about relationships and the changes we go through to finally “do the right thing” and settle down. Don’t get me wrong, at 26 I would love nothing more than to meet “the one” but I couldn’t help wondering where the concept came from in the first place… We live our lives creating all these rules and structures of how we are going to live out lives, f*ck really? We want our partners to do this and not do that, to go here and not go there… Are we potentially just creating unnecessary barriers that are going to destroy our love? Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we put ourselves in these vulnerable positions in the name of someone’s love? I often wish I was born in the 60s, as dating was very different in the 70’s and early 80’s, where I come from it was anyway… I’m faced with so many questions tonight, and I’m surprised I haven’t really shown emotion up until a few minutes ago… F*ck!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess all I really want to say is that we all want to be stood next to our match at the end of that isle, and forcing people into unnecessary situations may guarantee you a few years of temporary happiness, but it f*cks so much up for others. Losing someone that meant so much to me isn’t something I’m in a hurry to experience again.
