With two weeks of school left, I am into combining back to school vibes with summer vibes, which can be summarized metaphorically in this post's title.
Jerry Hall on a road trip in Texas, Stand By Me, Mary Ellen Mark, Sally Mann, Edward Hopper, Cindy Sherman (this here Untitled #96 is now the most valuable photograph in the world, GET IT CINDY SHERMAN), William Eggleston, Irving Penn.
*If you understand this reference to "Thirteen" by Big Star, congratulations! You may now consider yourself a member of the Cultural Elite.**
**If you understand this reference to Tina Fey's new book, double congratulations! I wish I'd thought of it so I made up this second asterisk to seem clever, and also not plagiarize.

I serisouly wish i went to the same school as you, i would walk home with you! haha well nice post, the pictures are spectacular...
mmmmmm sally mannnnnnnnnnnn
no i didnt notice these two things :/
mmm! interesting post, but i not love smoking children!!!
This is cool - I was smoking cigarettes when I was a preteen. I stopped at the age of fifteen, and never smoked after that, not once. Which is still better than starting after 18 and smoking for the rest of my life. By the way, the black girl from behind looks so glorious.
preteen smoking ohh yes
i'm shocked there's no Man in the Moon photo!
Stand by Me & smoking children... I like it.
No girl is complete without her Sally Mann or Cindy Sherman phase. This is a crucial post for young ladies everywhere! Is it obvious I was a photo major...I like the post!

I thought Most Valuable was a photography of a woman mastrubating.
Well, that would have been a tad cooler, maybe.

tavi, you inspired me to write my own blog and i love your style!
please check out my blog - http://neonrosefashion.blogspot.com/
ha! i did know the lyrics, but not from big star...from garbage, who covered it a while back. it's a good cover...check it out if you've got time. shirley manson has one of the best voices in the world...
also, am i the only one freaked out by those tiny things smoking? dear lord, their lungs!!
Love Big Star and the smoking children. It's ART, people! :)
"Rock and roll is here to stay..."
Have you heard Elliot Smith's version of "Thirteen"? It's quite wonderful.
Holy crap. Just stumbled across your name and then your blog via Danah Boyd of Apophenia. You are so brilliant, not just for a 15 year old, but in general. I love your voice and your style. If I weren't 12 years older than you and married with babies, I'd totally just say, "Let's be friends!" without any irony. Anyway, cheers to you for all the recognition you've gotten. It's well deserved.

I wish I could say I got your references...
I love all these pictures.
Great photographers.
Have you heard Elliot Smith's version of "Thirteen"?
It's quite wonderful.
Thirteen is one of my favorite songs. The Elliott Smith version that was mentioned above is good too, if you haven't heard it, but not nearly as good as the original,if you ask me. You do such a great job matching your photos and post titles.

Do you think what is important to keep on a blog.
So I have a fashion blog, but recently I'm troubling about "what is important about fashion blog".
nice photos!
i like these***
I can't get over #3.
I want to try and make a Jackson Pollocky painting today. So to get some idea, I've looked up his work in "Sister Wendy's American Masterpieces". And as it happens, Edward Hopper appears in here as well.
I guess a lot of people talk about the creepiness, the psychological apect of E.H's work, but for me just his use of light and shadow is worth more than the price of admission. Nice choice, Tavi :-)
I looooooooooooove Stand by Me, I'm so obsessed with it that I watch it once a week :p
great post! I don´t really like summer but I love the transitory weeks between spring and summer
I'm in love with the pics of girls smoking cigarettes- they're sort of surreal, and off-putting in their unexpectedness. :D
Lovely photos!
came across your blog when i was reading the magazine 'shout' and there was 2 pages on you, How lucky!
it really inspired me :)
ILOVEYOURBLOGGG!!!

following you, hope you follow back ??
heck, another club i won't be a member of ^___^
the pics give off a somewhat Southern feel. and yes, smoking makes even preteens look badass and hard-boiled. it may cause cancer but SPOILER: non-smokers will die too ^______^. here's one more for the collection. random internet find, so i have no clue who's the photographer, alas.
have a good time.
Amazing photos! Love your blog!

the elliott smith cover of thirteen is pretty wonderful too
where did u get those photos?
I wanna know ^ o^
If I knew what the picture was going to be like I wouldn’t make it. It was almost like it was made already.. the challenge is more about trying to make what you can’t think of.
- Cindy Sherman
gosh! I love Cindy Sherman.
Her work and her thoughts have inspired so much of what I've done.
Gosh what a great series of pictures. Totally feeling the vibe.
oh gosh tavi HOW ARE YOU SO CULTURALLY ELITE?
I only know Stand By Me and Cindy Sherman, and only because I studied both for school XD
see you with black lips, made me miss my black lipstick phase :~
I loved the photos!
I love Stand By Me! *w*
I HEART William Eggleston soooo much. I've never seen that particular image. Thanks for posting. I got to meet him at his book signing at the MCA last year. He was a cool cat.
