I'm getting into neon Weetzie Bat summer witch surfer girl skater babe vibes as soon as finals are over. My brains have melted from school and the heat and can no longer think in terms of academics. During my interview test for French my teacher asked what I later found out meant, "What is your favorite dessert?" and I answered what I later found out meant, "I love biology!" So, you know. Summer. Please?

I always like the angry colorful vibes I get from you girl!
Can't wait to see the neon celebration you put on once finals have ceased! Best wishes.

......WE SHOULD BECOME WICCANS!
These images somehow remind me of The Virgin Suicides; maybe because I just watched it.
I know exactly what you mean; I have exams coming up and my mind is just ... blah at the moment.
I love your unique style and individuality.
Jesus. I'm sewing eyeball buttons on all my clothes from now on.
cult phenomenon
i like
enjoy your summer!
Tavi, Have you watched Buffy yet? It's basically MSCL -- with vampires.
Oh, Tavi. Just wait until you get to college. And then graduate school. No summers when you need the credits.
Also, please tell your teachers how much they mean to you... many of them have to stay at school and do workshops. It's boring, we teachers don't like it. We teach because of you, and when you're not there, it's just work. Boring work.
Great photos!
I kinda love velvet underground and all these pictures remind me of nico in a very strange dark way
I love everything that looks gothic - I especially like the first photo with the rodent. The hair and make-up (the girl's and not the rodent's) look awesome. By the way, I still cannot understand why you visit school. Do your parents force you to do so? Had I had a chance, I would have skipped school in the first possible moment - actually that was what I did. I have quite an acceptable IQ and knowledge about literature and arts (I do not want to boast, but there you go), but surely I do not owe it to school and teachers and classmates... You really could afford to leave school...
Wow weetzie bat! I borrowed it from the library in 3rd grade and I was like WTF?! but now I understand how wonderfully high that book is.
fantastic! i want a mice pet lol!
<3
lOVE YOUR BLOG!!
AND GORGEUS POST!!

I SO get this.... :)
Fun! :-)) Colourful and textural magical mystery vibes. Nice mix of words and images, Tavi.
And thanks for the songs! Speaking of which, I’m in the process of writing one now. I’ve taken some inspiration from your “rei kawakubo (H&M)”. The song will be called ‘This is a Hold Up’. I originally had in the chorus, “That’s what he said and that’s OK!” But then decided it’s probably not such a good thing to endorse, so changed it to, “That’s what he said, it’s not OK!”
I’m sure Lennon/McCartney went through this kind of moral complexity all the time during their song-writing days :-)
I've got a crush on molly soda too.
haha that nicki minaj shrine is too funny.
I love weetzie on all the dangerous angels stories. listen to Suddenly Last Summer by the Motels. it makes me think of weetzie.
Love this! Check out www.rookiemagazine.com
Wiz all zese trips to Paris for fashion shows, I thought you would have mastered French by now!

hello,I want to write you a letter.can you please give me your e-mail adress?
-Emily
Amazing colours and Mollysoda is incredible! I will never stop saying that you INSPIRE me so much! kisses lovely tavi!
What a beautiful post!
I love Wavves! The photos are nice too, I like greeny-blue hair.
This is so lovely. I just want that MK hair so bad!
Love the new header by the way!
Wish it was summer here already. :)
thank you so much for promoting my images <3 my new blog is actually cosmicforestpeople on tumblr, or this one, if you care to check it out.
much love to you, sister. namaste, buddha baby <3
Have you seen the I Love Wildfox Weetzie Bat inspired photo shoot? I posted it on my blog (http://dearilou.blogspot.com/2011/04/style-icon-weetzie-bat-again.html) You would love it. I definitely do. Weetzie is so slinkster cool.
i can't believe there isn't a photo of Yolandi Vi$$er and her rats.
Kionon - I appreciate my teachers a great deal! My dad taught at my school for over 30 years and has instilled in me lots of respect for my educators. (If that doesn't sound like an English teacher's daughter's comment...)
Mina Jade - Ha, I actually really like high school, and all my different teachers have a lot to offer. I wouldn't be allowed to quit and even so I wouldn't want to.
darkcrystalmagick - Oh thanks for the new links! You're amazing!
WOW you have no idea how sad you made me when you said you don't remember the etsy shop
!!!!!!!!!!AHHH tavi memory go go go plzthx
damn i love you and your blog

I want a crystal ball and a third eye.
loving this entire post. "witch baby" is the first FLB novel i ever read. this post has inspired me to take my dangerous angels chronicles along when i go on tour for two weeks with my friends' band as my reading material.
I'M SOOOOOO happy to see that Real Life teenagers still find out about Francesca Lia Block books, I was so bummed when all the vampire books were at the borders but there was no sight of FLB last time I checked around the holidays. Also, your playlist was a great soundtrack to clean my apartment to and think of my friends and family in CA while I'm in the midwest also!
Have you read the Angus, Thongs, etc books? Your "I love biology" is a classic :)
"Victory. Victory. Madame Slack has been on my case about being lazy in French and I have just got eighty-five percent in a test. Hahahaha. Fermez la bouche, Madame Slack. I did it by learning twenty-five words and then making sure I answered every question by using only those words. So to question one-'In French, what is your favorite food?' my answer was "Lapin" (rabbit). For my essay, 'What did you do on a sunny day?' I made sure I played with a rabbit. Describe a favorite book-Watership Down-lots of lapins in that" -Georgia Nicolson.
Thanks for reminding me of Witch Baby! Now I want to go re-read it ASAP.
And I LOVE when you post these mixes. Your taste in music is fabulous. I was especially pleased to hear some Joni Mitchell today.
Did you ever read Violet & Claire? That was by far my favorite FLB book when i was teenager. Her style of writing so beautiful and ethereal...
I love this. It makes me want to draw evil eyes on my forehead & stare at strangers.
I have finals tomorrow but instead of studying today I just went to the beach. It's too hot. Also don't feel bad about French-someone in my Spanish class opened her written exam letter with 'Dear Rosa, what is your name?'
So Colorful!
Tavi,
You must immediately get yourself all albums by Helium, but start with Pirate Prude and Dirt of LUck to continue your summer vibes. "Honeycomb" is my favorite song EVER. Mary Timony, who you probably already know, is exactly your kind of woman--witchy, sparkly, bee-yoo-tee-ful, and ridiculously talented.
Sarah
I love your photos of inspiration. In every post they're always so effective in conveying your particular mood. I like how you can put an outfit together and then show these images and it makes complete sense.

i was so in love with francesca lia block books when i was younger. i remember reading and rereading weetzie bat when i was a teenager (and i still read it now from time to time...) is that movie EVER gonna come out?!?!!
A very special friend of mine gifted me Dangerous Angels as a Christmas present. There is something so sickly sweet about a tale in the City of Angels that gives me reason to want to visit California in the near future. Like others have stated, I too find you wonderfully and refreshingly inspirational. Enjoy your summer~ <3
:-) (<3)
we live by our own rules take me for example i'm the queen witch and I only ride at midnight
Well,
Anyone interested in reading a 15 year old boy's blog?
All of you groovy folks stuck in the depression area I'd advise you to come check me out.
If it isnt to your liking dont come back :) How easy is that?

p.s - Tavi, you're inspirational. Go teenagers all over the world. Or something.
nice eyeball
Greeting to all Witches... ^-^
and @ Mordrian: You're so right!!
Is 22 to old to want rainbow-coloured hair? I feel like I missed out on something I should have done as a teenager.
one of my favorite series of all time! i adore flb's writing style. you can taste her blindingly beautiful prose.
Yo...Tavi, really love your blog, love the kinky goodies, love your style too. Keep post your open-eyed-open-mind for the rest of us.
Sincerely from the starter, faraway from islands of Indonesia.

I heart The Velvet Underground. My fave from them is "I'm Sticking With You" because it sounds like a love note from a science nerd. And I say "nerd" with luhrve. I love rainbow/cosmic/mellowed out/surfer girl/California vibes. Speaking of "California", that's my fave song from Joni Mitchell. Haha.
Those bleached hairs are just amazing.
I think I might go turquoise next, now that the pink has washed out haha

I found Francesca Lia Block in 9th grade, and it took over my world pretty quickly :). And, yes, 12 years later I still read them now & then. Good to know it still happens!
http://confessionsofavintagestoreowner.blogspot.com/
So much of this post reminds me of that Meadham Kirchoff collection. The one you have the jewelry from. I seriously think you inspired that collection Tavi.

Hi Tavi, my name's Molly. I sent you a comment a few days ago but I forgot where I posted it. anyway I've been on your blog before and it's weird, but creative. You have a great sense of imagination and fasion. I don't do fashion but I love to draw cartoons and I made a blog where I posted my works and other stuff. I was hoping I could get discovered for it like you did. I didn't think of this now though, I've been planning on being famous for drawing for a long time. could you look at my blog whenever you have the time? I can't send you a link so the address is www.phillipandphyllis-pugpuppy.blogspot.com
Great post! very original and unique...and I have to see this neon Weetzie Bat....bla bla bla! crazy you!
Kisses Lady Tavi and summer is coming so soon!

LOVELY POST!!!!! :))))))) www.pulsacoesplanetarias.blogspot.com
I LOVE the escapist post, Tavi. It makes me wish I was trapped in a colorful dream world, complete with a pet rat. : )
http://sartorialsoul.blogspot.com/
Awesome pictures, love all the girls with blue hair. I just finished my exams, ready to bask in the summer sun already!

People check out my new baking blog, i've got a dream to write a cookbook while I'm still young and you, tavi, are a great example of how young people can thrive!
http://thebakingboy.blogspot.com/
Youre so funny! I love reading your blog, and I read it almost everyday, arent I creepy and weird?! Oh ya and i was wondering if you could look at my blog theflowered.blogspot.com
As much as the picture with the girl rat creeps me out (I HATE RATS), I love this post!
As if I didn't already LOVE YOU ENOUGH, you qoute a Girl song? Let's get married and have seven babies.
I just pulled out all my Francesca Lia Block books...I love these pics, they capture what I imagined as a teenage while I was reading them. PS-my blog is named after a part of one of her stories.
nice mix.
Love this!
101fashionavenue.blogspot.com is my blog!
only stuff on this one worth listening to are Los Angeles and and Big Bad Mean Motherfucker (I think Hellhole Ratrace is better but I guess it doesn't go with the whole glo-fi dream-pop electric chillwave theme). srry bout the cynicism. i liked your riot grrrl mix better.
Wow this dress and jewelry so beautiful. I like so much this jewelry and dress. I want this dress. Really your website is very helpful for all. I found so many interesting stuff in your blog especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing with us.
