"I'll be right here"

So I have been absent from the blogosphere for quite some time due to a missing camera cord. Well the cord has been located, so here I am. Blogger tells me I have not been here since January. In summation- I have done nothing (a sharp contrast to the ALP).
I am hoping that this blog may start to take a more sophisticated direction i.e. i looked over my archive and LOLed at myself. Due to living in a new world of poverty my op-shopping has increased at a rapid rate, so lock yourself in.

Because I have been too lazy to take any pictures I will share with you two photos of people that I find 'fashion forward'/well dressed/classy/ that i would like to steal their wardrobe etc. I have a theory that I do not belong in this time... I crave to live in a world that is black and white...

I am doing fun things tomorrow. Maybe you'll see some photos (actually of me) then.


Mary Wilkie from Manhattan. Although Mary was not as influential as Annie Hall, her corporate style is interesting* I do love a good blazer myself... also that hair is out of control (in a good way). I love that this movie is filmed in b&w, I love that the characters can make a living out of sporadic journalism and have the time to sit around seeing movies every day. I love that there is a dachshund and that they walk him in the park until the early morning. I admire the complexity yet simplicity of the characters. People find the relationship between Ike and Tracey strange... representative of Allen's life really.

Personal story- I own a copy of the Manhattan film poster, it hangs above my wall, above my Babooshka collection. I also own the script to Annie Hall (in book form) and some books about Woody Allen. Basically this paragraph is saying- "my friends are awesome!"



Joanna Kramer/possibly other random characters of Meryl Streep- Meryl Streep is now 61! As a hater of trench coats myself, I do love this. This movie is so adorable/sad. The 70's were quite an interesting time, this outfit isn't that interesting I just like it. Meryl Streep also appears in Manhattan.... interesting/fiesty role. I have seen nearly every Meryl Streep film.... maybe I will manage to watch the rest during the holidays...



Other interesting people/things include; Ally Sheedy, Stevie Nicks, MJ, Bowie, the Beatles and their wives, Patti Smith, the characters from Seinfeld (particularly Kramer), Kate Bush, Cher, the majority of seniors, dream catchers, pugs, Modern Family, toasted sandwiches, "Clueless", magazines, warmth,beatniks, Scrabble, Grandpa Joe, oreos, observation, quiz show hosts and punks.


* In the time that I did not blog I managed to replicate the "tennis outfit" from Annie Hall. It was met with great praise!! Randomly I also managed to dress as a cat on probably three separate ocassions, buy more mythical/witch like clothes during my Stevie Nicks phase, buy more sheer blouses, dress like a fan of the Bay City Rollers, do what seemed like 1000 assignments, kill enough trees doing said assignments to warrant being shot at dawn, remain pretty oblivious to the leadership spill, only finding out from a friend a time after the fact, buy a calculator watch, help my father celebrate his 50th, celebrate my own birthday (where funnily enough, I did not turn 50), nap, watch 3 and a bit seasons worth of Dawsons Creek, wish I were living with Jen, Jack and Grams, transfer my employment to a new place, doing the same thing, dream, dance etc.

All in all, it is good to be back.
