gah!

a list of my irrational fears.

• randomly parked cars down long, deserted stretches of roads, particularly at night.
• answering phone calls from unidentified numbers at night when I'm alone.
• of having my arms tied above my head so that my armpits are exposed and can be tickled, and being helpless to stop it.
• zombie viruses.
• walking down stairs or down hill in heels.

The final year

In late 1969 artistic differences between The Beatles had reached boiling point. George Harrison resented the lack of interest in his songs and John and Paul no longer collaborated on songs.  Tension arose over Yoko's presence in the studio, especially when John encouraged Yoko to give feedback.

In '69 they finished making the initial recordings for the songs that would become the albums Let it Be and Abbey Road.

Crazy lady

"You're not well enough for the story they've planned".

Isabella Blow

"It was not so simple, not so easy to come up with this way of living that I've had. I was given a sad life by fate, but I think I won a happy life. Not one day has passed when I didn't think of suicide, but I'm very glad to be alive now. Most people are so preoccupied with their illness, sickness, and they live a very ordinary life. I was so involved and so engrossed with painting, and knew from my childhood that it could help me to overcome unhappiness."

Yayoi Kusama

 

“I always wear my sweater back-to-front; it is so much more flattering.”

Diana Vreeland

"Peace. it does not mean to be in a place where there is no trouble, noise, or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."

Lady Gaga

Ghost world

I love Ghost World, it is such a brilliant movie, based on an even more brilliant comic. Daniel Clowes creates a bizaare and intimate comic world where best friends look on at the world, unable to fathom how idiotic the general public can be. This translates beautifully into a film with Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson. Take note, the outfits are incredible! A classic tale of being a misfit and 'coming of age' (ugh I hate that term) Ghost World is a-mazing.
