Blonde Bombshell

I am so attracted to the blonde bombshell.

The femme fatale

First Kate Moss, then Anita Pallenberg.

Now it's Bridget Bardot.

The ultimate blonde beauty.

Love Fades

Cinematic soundscape. Sun drenched vocals and stoned guitar riffs.

Fade Away

Waiting at the airport and watching the sun set.

The sun fades away leaving a red hue in the sky.

The music swells and drips and I could almost

shut my eyes and transport myself to the desert.

It's a surreal experience, especially while

listening to Tamaryn.

Check out her tracks here

Hang With Me

Robyn- "Hang with me"

Beautiful track to dance with trannies under the flashing lights.

Stanley Time

I don't know why, but once a year

I get a Shia LaDouche obsession.

The way he eats a banana

and can't grow a mustache

warms my heart.

Enchante

Everything about this hat is good.

The felt gaucho.

Seen on the runway of Chanel.

Gracing the pages of Vogue.

Worn by the Rolling Stones.

And soon to be on my head.

Expectations Do Not Equal Reality

Can someone fall back in love again?

I questioned that last night as we drove discussing the meaning

of the statement "he didn't understand the end of The Graduate" from 500 days of Summer.

In the scene just before Zoe and Joe break up, they watch The Graduate in a theatre, and Zoe is balling at the end (the scene when Dustin and Elaine are on the bus) and Joe doesn't understand why she is crying.

He thinks it's because the two characters are meant to be together, that they are tears of joy.

But Zoe understand the end of The Graduate and that's why she is so sad for her.

I feel that I play both the role of Zoe and Joe.

At first I was Joe, thinking that yes, we are meant to be together.

The universe is putting us together. I felt such a strong urge from destiny to spend time with you.

But now I'm Zoe. I know that those feelings were not fake, but they were just all part of a process. That we were not meant to be together. We were just meant to know each other. Be a part of each others lives for this period in time.

So when we discuss The Graduate, and I explain that when Elaine and Dustin get on the bus after he rescues her from her wedding, and they look out the back of the bus window, and Dustin is happy at first and then miserable, and you don't understand why, this makes me think you don't understand me.

You don't get that Dustin didn't even know Elaine. And that like a man, he goes in, steals her away, and then realizes he doesn't even know her or love her.

Technically, The Graduate should have ended with Dustin going back to Mrs Robinson and then the two of them running away together.

Anyways, The graduate is sad because it doesn't end happy. It ends in what I like to call "real life mode". Where your actions, that you think are pure and motivated by love, turn out to be in vain. They end up in pain and confusion.

This is why I love 500 Days of Summer. It is so true to real life. Zoe and Joe were meant to be together for only a short while. Zoe was suppose to help Joe grow and find himself and his eventual soul mate Autumn.

So life is a journey. We are just helping each other along. I'm just helping you find your true self, and the one meant for you.

I've only loved once and I hope to love again.

But I'm not going to force it.

I'm not going to run around searching for love.

It will seek me out.

And I will be so enraptured before I even know what to do with myself.

Before I even know it's love.

So yes, I am not heartless, and no I am not sitting around waiting for Prince Charming

because he will never come.

But I believe in destiny

and I believe I will love again intensely

It's just not with you.

Mainly because you don't understand the end of The Graduate,

you don't understand me.

Iconic Clash

Bonding over Bowie has reached a whole new level.

Here is a convo. of a Bowie vs. Reed discussion with another blogger:

Pigs and Plans: Lou Reed or David Bowie?

Pigs and Plans: Damn I got all Bowie responses. I take Lou Reed for sure.

He's such a fucking badass. So NYC

Thyme Warp: @PigsAndPlans Bowie is iconic. Reed is more underground.

Pigs and Plans: @ThymeWarp Loud Reed is still an icon. Velvet Underground, Andy Warhol, Punk...he was a big part of the whole scene

Thyme Warp: @PigsAndPlans When I say Bowie, people say "Yes!" When I say Lou Reed, people say "who?"

Pigs and Plans: @ThymeWarp haha ok fine fine Bowies got the name recognition.

Thyme Warp: @PigsAndPlans And yes I agree Reed is an icon but not as well known as Bowie. Not as iconic, if that can be measured.

Let's Drive Until We Meet the Grand Canyon, Baby

The Crystal Cave has become a mess of dishes, wine bottles and cut outs from Vogue and Nylon magazine.

This place is really growing on me. This city is starting to feel like home,despite the fact that I moved here over a year ago.

When I went back to my hometown this weekend, I could barely force myself out of my friends hippie van when we reached our destination.

I thought "why can't we just keep driving? Fuck our families at thanksgiving. Let's drive till we see the cacti. Let's drive till we meet the Grand Canyon." And I know they would go for it, except they are "responsible" stoners, not "spur of the moment" stoners. They still go to work 9-5 and pay the bills, that type of stoners.

So I hopped out of the van, wishing I could be back at the Crystal Cave, drinking wine and blasting the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
