I recently remembered (realized?) that my antics on New Year's Eve in Alphabet City were not only witnessed by Kat, but also documented in the form of photographs (and possibly video).

I'm a bit worried.

Photo is largely unrelated to post, but nonetheless representitive of my return trip to ILM in general.

Someone else driving a lovely, clean car, willing to stop for lunch and singing along to songs with me was a 1000% improvement from a sketchy greyhound trip full of strangers eating boiled peanuts (Dear God, WHY???) far, far too close to me.

But am now back in my apartment, enjoying my fairly-lax final semester of undergrad.

E-GAD!

Kathleen's surprise welcome-back party was last night, and was carried off with a drunken aplomb typical of our peer group.

Aka, everyone argued about arrangements over-the-phone with me until I gave up, called The Orchestrator Of The Event (Maddy) and told her to please fix it.

Then Amy and I proceded to get a little drunk and tried really incredibly disproportionately hard to understand Friday's episode of Dollhouse.

We failed.

But then:

We partied.

And the party was a success. Which, in the long run, was more important, wasn't it?

Sleepy Hollow Photo Shoot.

here is a town, two days journey to the north in the hudson highlands

it is a place called sleepy hollow. have you heard of it?

three persons have been murdered there, all within a fortnight. each one found with the head lopped off.

lopped off?


you will take these experimentations of yours to sleepy hollow, and there you will detect the murderer.

bring him here to face our good justice. will you do this?

remember, it is you, ichabod crane, who is now put to the test.

The lovely Natalia made this art...not me. Too lazy.

Boys and girls, here’s the thing about me and the outdoors.
We don’t really get along.
I’m pretty high maintenance, my max amount of outdoor time consists of a run in the woods behind my apartment (rarely), drinking on the beach at night (more frequently) or reading in parks with large hats on (most frequently).

So when it came time to plan my summer, my first thought was not;
“Lets climb a mountain, go camping for four days, run back and forth in the mud, mosh, sleep outside in the blistering sun, sleep in a car full of ants, eat only powdered doughnuts and peanut butter, and finally mostly-hitchike home from South Carolina.”

And yet, dear readers, all these things DID happen;
All these things AND MORE! At the brilliant and fabulous BONNAROO!!!

This week: Bonnaroo posts!!!!

Film Stock

So I know that I've been promising Bonnaroo posts for about a month now.....
Promises, promises.
I'm like that boy that never calls....
Instead, here is the most awe-inspiring thing I've seen all week.....a Gaultier couture gown
made of film strips.

Have you ever tried to sew film strips??
It's freaking impossible.
So it's decided then, when I am impossibly wealthy and up for an Emmy or Oscar (or even a Razzie) I will wear this dress to the ceremony. I will be criticized for being "too literal," but I will flick them off, then go do shots with my celebrity friends.

The exhaustive Bonnaroo post is coming soon, I promise!

Fun Things: Effy's makeup from Skins series three

So I've been watching Skins lately.
A LOT of Skins. Skins is a filthy filthy filthy British series (airing on Channel 4) that chronicles the lives of a group of drug-abusing, skull-bashing, smoking-drinking-backstabbing teens. It is MADE of awesome.
Anyway;
Like every night from 2am-6am.
Anyway.....I've been realizing slowly that Effy (actress Kaya Scodelario) and I have very similar eyebrows.

Kinda bushy, but tapered, and much darker than the rest of our hair. Anyway, from great opportunity springs creativity, so I decided to do more makeup experimenting. Yay!

Effy wears a really dark, arched smokey eye:


Which I then attempted, altering it slightly with the addition of some liquid liner. It's a crutch, I know it.

I think it's pretty cute. Def for man-eating club nights, I thinks.
