outlaws

I've never quite mastered the art of being a badass. I believe my last act of rebellion was writing the names of boys I had crushes on in the bathroom stalls at school with a crayon circa 2001. If you didn't laugh at that, you should know I was caught before the end of the day. Total time elapsed: less than 24 hours. My personality is pretty consistent- I'm dependable, punctual, and consistent; qualities that I pride myself on for sure. But talking the talk doesn't always cut it. You also have to walk the [tracks?] Some rules were made to be broken. Don't worry, I'm not going to shatter them all, but I'll ease my way in, starting with more daring additions to the wardrobe. You have your ways, and I have mine...

scarlet fever

Starting with a plain silhouette gives you license to go anywhere. Jump off the deep end, or pace a few steps to your left- the choice is yours. And although the blank canvas started out as the finished product, a slew of happy accidents created a more solid look. The bracelet fell off my desk in a pathetic attempt to tidy up some chaos, I left the lipstick in my backpack from last week and recovered it after lunch, and I found myself camped out in Celine's room (typical) and stole her hat moments before we headed out to shoot. Ten years ago I would have said "take things as they come," but in 2014 the only applicable terminology is "YOLO."

hippie sabotage

Cotton candy graffiti outlines the streets of Soho; the perfect combination of soft and hard. Opposites attract, but you already knew that. After all, you and I used to once upon a time. Call out for a revival of Bohemia- reclaim our public spaces by whatever means necessary. This is our city, from the cobblestone alleys to the open-mouthed avenues. Get it before it's gone 'cause you'll miss it like hell.
