love with tongues of fire purge the soul

my fingers are fuzzy, eyes like glass

my fixed smile but another farce.

my lips are wet and my teeth are sharp

his sweet breath glows bright on dark.

salty sweat of brutal goodbyes

bland residue of failed surprise.

brass buttons on fresh cut grass

strewn gravel on a knowing path.

shadowing shutters of quiet and shame

mild, damp tears of disappointment and blame.

scratchy zipper dress and clutched palms

catholic children muttering virginal psalms.

her fingers are fuzzy, eyes like glass

her fixed smile but another farce.

Aren't her shots just great? She may be kinda old school, but you cant beat a bit of black and white beauty and I believe her pieces to be delightfully timeless. You better share my opinion. Plus she's originally a Londoner, so it's good all round. Us Brits really are made of sterling stuff. 

these are just a few simple shots that I came across from a variety of places, so I own none of these images. Ordinal copyright to Pamela Hanson. And below is a little snippet of Carla Bruni's Quelqu'un m'a dit, again kinda old but so in love with her. 

baby, in our wildest moments

I AM BACK

Apologies, apologies, apologies. 

I'm not really sure why I haven't posted in a stupidly long time, maybe I just didn't feel inspired or some shit even though I have been making my wallet cry through new purchases; topshop, UO, Zara, ASOS how you tempt me so. 

So anyway, hang around for some cheeky little posts over the next week.

for your musical pleasure:

i'm in love

i burn, i pine, i perish

my inner hippie has fallen in love

my inner hippie, cant help myself. much like some of the designers i've posted recently, i'm going through a difficult summer yearning phase and a desperation to get out of suffocated home and travel travel. anyway, these pieces are all over tumblr at the moment and i thought it only right to give this New Zealand beauty a little promo.
