now we are 14

Well well well, I turned 14 today! Later I will put on the outfit I wore to take photos - I actually liked my outfit for the first time in a while, probably because I was all "screw you it's my birthday!" so wore what I really wanted to wear and, for some reason, lately, I have been resorting to formulaic and pretty things that I have to talk myself into not finding boring. I went straight to Sophie's house today though, and we watched Empire Records and ate junk food and had cake. So I shall post this photo of Maggie Rizer from Yohji Yamamoto's Spring 1998 campaign-ribbons seem appropriate for a birthday.


(Photo removed as it violated Blogger's "Terms of Service" [adult content! Racy!] so uh oops.)


13 was an unbelievably good and lucky year and I hope 14 is good too. It doesn't mean I can write very intelligent sentences late at night, however, so, sleep well!

    Empire Records, junk food and cake is the perfect way to spend your birthday. It's mine next week, I plan on doing something very similar only with The Breakfast Club instead.

    Even though I'm an artist, I'm not really into nude art pieces....I don't find nipples attractive.. At least not on women. xD But yah........
