Just me: March 2010

itching/obsessing.

I have not had a working camera for approximately 7-ish months now. Let me tell you – it sucks huuuge. I am finding I have like no pictures from the last 7 months making it very hard to scrapbook and blog about myself. Unfortunately since there are times, especially now as I reach the end of the year I can barely afford to eat (slight exaggeration) a new camera does not quite fit into the student budget. Luckily when I go home to my parents I can use theirs (even though the frequency of this is far to little to have any real effect on my need/craving to take pictures) and I have really been itching lately to take some pictures.

This weekend I am heading home for Easter and I am really excited to be able to take some pictures (especially since the weather is supposed to be fantastic). Even more so film has been inspiring me a lot lately and I am thinking I will bust out my dad’s old pentax and do some shooting in film of my families Easter celebrations.

I just love the imperfections that you can get with a roll of film that you can’t get (as easily) with a digital. Here are some lovely film shots from flickr that have been inspiring me as of late:

Kara’s lovelies were taken on a disposable.. Maybe that should be my first foray back into the magic world of film?

What are you itching to do these days?

A PSA

Let’s be clear, the wearing of tights as pants is an abomination. TIGHTS ARE NOT PANTS.

Sure, in the context of sports, ballet, hair metal, and renaissance fairs – tights can function as suitable leg coverings – but still THEY ARE NOT PANTS. No, these are not events that magically transform tights into pants; these are historically acceptable acts of pantlessness.

Tights as pants leave nothing to the imagination. Tight as pants are an affront to those of us who prefer not to know the most intimate details of their neighbour’s bodies. Tights as pants are the fashion equivalent of too much information. This gratuitous divulgence of assets repels where the tights-as-pants wearer presumably hopes to entice.

We have tired of tolerating attempts to force tights into a non-native garment category and have decided to do something about it. (via)

Harsh? Maybe, but something I feel very strongly about nonetheless. Especially now as the warmer weather this has become an increasingly apparent issue. I am by no means opposed to tights – when worn as tights. Under a little dress, long tunic type shirt, under a skirt with a nice pair of boots – the possibilities for tights as tights are virtually endless. However the usage of them as pants should end now.

That is all.

Have you heard??

I realize I’ve been an awful blogger and I’m not apologizing or making excuses – but I’ve been suuuper busy and I feel like things are going to follow this same busy path until exams are over. Anyways have you heard:

. . .that Forever21 now has a men’s line!! Fantastic. I got an email a while ago saying that it was coming, and I was very excited to see what the line was going to be like. Now that it’s here I am very pleased.

I am a huuuge fan of the grey plus one bright(ish) colour. I looove those first grey jeans. I could max out my visa shopping online. (I won’t mom – but I could).

. . .of this beauty? Diane Birch is gorgeous and her music is so lovely. Pleaase check her out.
