change with the wind but they're always bright.

c'est lui pour moi. moi pour lui. dans la vie.

I got way too upset about the tanktop situation too early. It turns out that it isn't common, but not unheard of and the more urban you get the less strange it is. I have seen at least 4 Korean girls wearing tanktops in the country town I am living in and when I went partying on the weekend, tanktops were almost the norm! I had moved my tanks to my bottom drawer so that I wouldn't have to look at them and torture myself, but I have since remedied the situation because of my new information. Go tanktops!!

I especially love the dresses with the crisscross cutout back. My favourite dress has that. I think it is HOT!

a friend is a friend forever.

Laura Marling is fabulous. I just heard of her this morning through a friend I made when I was little in Australia and I can't stop listening to her. I like her look, her voice, her lyrics, her music videos, her guitar. Yep, I like her.
It took me a while to decide which of her videos to post. It was a toss up between New Romantic and this one, but I think I made a good decision.

you a sundress and i a sweater vest.

I got to speak to Alison for a moment today. How divine!!! Sorry I put my magnificent suede fringe vest in storage dear. There must be so much in there that I should have left with you to babysit. Packing can be so hard though.

what was golden went gray and i'm suddenly shy.

I love tank tops. My heart broke yesterday a little bit when Wonmi said she doesn't think she has ever seen anyone wear a tank top in this area. I don't mind standing out, but I don't like being stared at with too much judgement, it makes me nervous. Goodbye comfort... I need to get over myself.

Totally breathtaking!

walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match head.

Over the weekend the temperature went up drastically making me think of reds and other colours on the warm end of the colour spectrum.

the sea will be boiling.

Today Q'orianka Kilcher was on Democracy Now talking about her recent stint of chaining herself to the Whitehouse gate. Knowing now that she is an indigenous Peruvian she must have been pleased with her role as the indigenous Pocahontas. For my part though, I am pleased she was chosen because she has those awesome lips, despite the fact I havn't to see the movie.She is pretty much a babe, and Pocahontas is pretty much my favourite Disney princess ever! I also like that she is now playing a Hawaiian Princess' "unwavering fight to defend the independence of her people". Sounds like she likes to play her real life on the big screen ... or something like that.

short pants, romance, learn to dance.

This summer I knew the peice that I needed to make my heart sing was a nude bodysuit with regular tanktop straps. It seemed like one of those things you just have to go to AA to get. No such luck. I went there and they had nothing that could have a bra worn under it; just racerbacks and lowbacks.I tried several different dance shops and they didn't have what I wanted either. I ended up going back to AA and trying on every single possibility, ready to settle on not being able to wear a proper bra, but they didn't fit anyway. It appears that this girl gets to live the dream without me.In Korea almost no one (at least this early in the season) wears tank tops. So it might have been way over the top inappropriate anyway. Perhaps the fashion goddesses were saving me from have the perfect peice and not being able to wear it.
