Happy Thanksgiving!

I give thanks to the Lord because…

I have loving parents…who are still married…who are the most generous and honest people I know

I have a brother with a heart of pure gold

I have a loving boyfriend….who gives me foot rubs at random…who has stayed by me when I’m hard to love

I have warmth, clean water, and can acquire healthy food with ease

I have an income even in a tough economic time

I live in a country where, as of this day, I am able to speak freely, worship freely, and dress in clothing I like.

I am not, currently, living in a “nanny state” society, I still have freedom.

I have eyes that see, ears that hear, a mind that can soak up knowledge, hair, hands, legs, arms, etc..

I can walk, even though they said I wouldn’t be able to when I was born b/c my feet were curved inward

I have kind people in my life who bring me happiness

I have had most of my dreams come true already, and am assured more will follow

In 24 years I have never broken a bone, and I have a healthy body that can run, work, and enjoy every day.

I am also thankful my family and friends are in good health.

I have gifts and talents unique to me, so that I may feel I can contribute in some way

I have a kitty to make me smile

I have a car, a computer, the internet, a camera, and some cute shoes and outfits

I did not die in the car crash when I was 16.

I am happy and content because He who is in me is greater than that which is in the world!

Drawing I did when looking at Nylon Magazine…

Christmas List

My mom asked me to make a Christmas list and this is what I came up with:

Really I don’t need anything…you can’t take it with you when you die! I am more excited about my present to my family this year! It is the best gift ever! I can’t talk about it until after Christmas though, so hang tight for another month and I’ll let you know what it is!

Forest Fire

As I write this, I have a song continually looping to the point of ridiculousness. This song is “Fortune Teller” by the Brooklyn based band Forest Fire (free to download on facebook…just do a search on Ilike!) I’m not entirely sure what the meaning of the song is, but the beat and melody are hypnotizing. It is a song for leather jackets, kohl rimmed eyes, nighttime, and Gatling gun social skills (?).

2 of the same thing

I was on Model Mayhem tonight and and saw this girl Ivana, from Croatia. Is this my twin? Wow, how creepy-cool!

Sigh

and I don’t want to talk about it

Romance was Born

...and then they lived happily ever after and romance was born

I think their work is truly inspiring! As a fan of all that is ostentatiously kitsch and fabulous, I am intrigued by their elaborate designs and use of quirky mismatched prints.

Catwalk Queen

Athena was so silly…she decided to wear clothing today!  What a doll, she is my joy!

For exotic cat style, check out this post from The Moldy Doily...is it real or photoshopped? I am not certain…
