"Why don't we do it in the grass?"

"Oh,” Pause. "You meant picture-taking."

Between the good stuff writing and a few arbitrary mishaps, I’ve spent the last week trying to acclimate myself to the new Nikon. And after muddling through every imaginable setting, determining ISO sensitivity, exposure compensation, studying the owner’s manual like it was some new cult religion, and trying to adjust an impossible color issue involving a not-so-attractive radioactive orange hue… I finally decided to switch it out for a Canon Rebel instead.
So we shall see.

Unknown said…
oh bella that top is sooooo cute. Very brilliant!
You remind me of a Megan Fox that I'd actually give a shit about. Maybe the two of you should trade places and you could start doing really awesome indie films with your clothes on and not soaked in Lindsay Lohan's fake tanner.
Allie said…

And the eyeball is wonderful. LOOOOVE it. Haha.

Marcella said…
Haha I just had to show my boyfriend your post title and subsequent explanation. He was none too pleased... complained about how abhorrently unfair it is when we tease them like that LOL.

That invention looks so much better as a top. Much kudos. The SGC dress version was a bit skanky to me.

Gunmetal Laces

The hillside was far more treacherous than it actually appeared, and even though I didn’t foresee clambering up and down the jagged terrain… my 8-year-old nephew (among others in our brood) got a real kick out of thinking I was some sort of neophyte Pink Power Ranger. Pity I left my blade blaster, metallic armor, and spandex suit at home. Not sure about spandex, but if you and all your friends want to start your own gang of crime fighting superheros, you'll need some matching outfits... something stylish of course.  (RTBU sweater, Topshop skirt and Emma Cook boots)

The Carousel Ride

A little storytelling... A modicum of silence swallowed the room as dusty shards of sunlight patterned the multicolored carpet. Decorated with an army of garish jewelry, everything jingles, almost intentionally, as the woman perched behind the large candy counter brushes invisible lint from her blouse. Her silvery hair is the color of cotton candy. She offers a genuine smile before shifting her gaze downcast towards her slender hands. Briefly, she examines their delicate surface that is creviced by time and wiser than yesterday. At four quarters per ride, it was a small price for six minutes of uncontaminated childhood reminiscence to sweep the memory warehouse. And while we kept the company of an epoch 1920’s carousel, 60 handcrafted horses, and funky reindeer, we went round and round, faster and faster… letting it take us to those secret places we almost forgot existed. --Bella H. p.s. In lieu of those who have so thoughtfully given me awards and spotlight features... YOU'RE AM

The Writing Wall

 Affronted by a (practically) nonexistent warning sign, the weather-beaten plastic dangling idly from a nearby telephone pole, clearly stated, Private Property . Even though our previous attempt at this location resulted in a prying patrol car… the graffiti mural, a derelict carcass of a once prominent amusement park, was obviously too wicked to pass blindly. Sprinting around with certain schoolgirl giddiness, the ridiculous amount of camerawhoring was starting to feel like some new Olympic sport. But before finally fleeing the scene, we noticed the black and red letters smeared across the far right side of the building that perhaps claimed an excuse to previous visitors. ' The Devil Made Me Do It' . Disturbing to small degrees, it did seem outwardly apropos to our deviant trespassing acquisition… our forbidden spray paint entertainment. (Vintage sequin butterfly shirt, Betsey Johnson tights, F21 skirt & jacket, Bakers fringe boots)
