Ichabod Crane?

Despite the catawampus weekend and untrammeled city amblings, which on many levels I’m sure some would aptly claim was flouting grounds of moral turpitude (uh yeah, maybe of my… bank account), so far so good. I confess, the early morning outfit/minimal coffee brigade was slightly annoying… you know, when it’s not one thing it’s six others, and by then you’ve reached a breaking point while shouting ‘f@*k it’ at the top of your lungs. Albeit no one’s listening.

I’ve been meaning to post these photographs for a while, so I pulled them before they narrowly escaped being plunged into the near-retirement section of Picasa. Boring outfit... and the vintage boots, for some bizzarro reason, remind me of Ichabod Crane. Don’t ask me why. lol

I really like the contast between your carnal, graceful presence and the "graffiti's wall", like a powerful, uncluttered concentrate of urban energy . . .
ps: I would like very much having your opinion on my last article.

catawampus? Is that even a word lol. Trust you to find something as quirky as that haha

I'm glad you retrieved them before these met their demise from the virtual death blender of Picasa.

You know, now that you've mentioned Ichabod Crane i too can see the shoes' likeness to his own. Perhaps it the dark no nonsense sturdy look of them? Or perhaps its just cause you said it lol.

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)

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

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)
