More Beautiful Than Fiction

OMG!  *GASP!*  It’s published! (Photo and info on Blurb, or at MarkLaubenheimer.com) It started a couple months back, when I got an email from  Mark Laubenheimer.  Mark, a local (Seattle) photographer, takes gorgeous photos of normal people – untouched, unadulterated, using natural light and simple settings.  Mark needed a foreword for his newest project, and after stumbling Related posts:

The Art of Self Love

It’s not enough to be mere amazing mortals, we continually have to be something more. We have to be brighter, we have to be bigger. We must be smarter and faster. We must be genius and impress others with our sense of style. We must be the famed writers, the acclaimed Related posts:

Concert Daze

This weekend was full of music – I had the Flaming Lips show on Friday and that Spygirl + International Pop Overthrow Festival thing on Saturday.  Before I get to the reviews, though, I want to talk to you – dear readers – about concert etiquette.  I feel like it’s something I shouldn’t have to Related posts:

Wholeness

I am whole. Every part of me is a part of the package deal that you get when you sign up. I am “fairy hair” and tattoos. I am a love for books and a strong hate for raisins. I am a little burlesque, a little rocker, a little My Little Pony with Related posts:

Thoughts on “Fame”

It’s not every day that one sees the hard work and the real-life story behind people whose name has become a buzzword.  To me, this fact is primarily why I’m constantly amazed by how people view the famous and infamous. You hear it in day to day talk: someone hates this musician and that actor, when Related posts:

We are Amazing

She stood on stage in front of the crowd packed into the Showbox and told us – we all want to do something amazing.  We all want to get there, have it, be it and live it out, but what we don’t always realize is that we are it, we have it, we live it Related posts:

Are We Ever Satisified?

Do you find yourself looking for the next new adventure or the next good thing?  Are you constantly planning your next career move, your next school year, or looking for your next love? I wonder if we’re ever really satisfied with our life or if we’re always just looking for the next best thing.  While looking Related posts:

Why can’t we get along?

I bought a UK Vogue while I was over for good reads on the tube and was immediately struck by an article, written by Alex Blimes (a guy – d’accord! and the director of “GQ”) about the amount of cattiness that exists between women. The article is incredibly relevant in a time where we’re seeing articles Related posts:

Thursday’s Love List

It’s been a WHILE since I’ve done one of these love lists.  It’s also my 100th post!! I figured it was a fantastic time to pull out my fancy fountain pen and jot down a quick list of what I currently love.  A lot has happened since the last list!

Your Smile is an Accessory

Winter is hanging on for another week, but you can combat the frosty season by putting on a smile. Research shows that if you want to look agreeable, approachable, successful, and ready for socialization, donning a smile will do the trick. Make them genuine though – your smile can be detected in the Related posts:

The Small Things

Sometimes life has a way of kicking you in the ass on your way out of bed. I’m serious. You wake up and all the sudden your hair won’t lay flat, your toilet’s clogged and you KNOW you’re going to be out of your house for at LEAST 12 hours of your day Related posts:

Thursday Love…

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Thursday love-list, and with the site rearrangement, a love-list seems appropriate. (Now THAT’s some inspiration!

Gal pal's got the blues?

Speaking of joy – what do you do when you’ve a gal-pal who’s a little less than joyous? She calls you up for drinks, and halfway through the night (and her sad-story, which you’ve heard more than a few times!) you want to crawl under the table and hide!

The Math and Science of happiness.

I believe I’ve realized the math and science of happiness… Ahhh, science. In life every system gravitates towards entropy and new little systems are formed which, themselves, move towards entropy. Entropy pushes life towards equilibrium, and on the way each path spawns new little systems of chaos trying to reach equilibrium. Life is like some giant Related posts:

Thursday, I don't care about you…

Ha! Psych! (Ouuuuu 90’s reference! How do you like that!?) Thursday is the day for a loves list.

I’m going to have to start coming up with some better Thursday post names!!

Being smart IS the new hot.

I’m over this whole “thin is in” campaign. A recent post on Broke&Beautiful brought to my attention the warped view people have about body-types. I immediately was disgusted by some of the things people have to say about voluptuous, beautiful women – ie “It looks like she’s growing an elephant on her hips!” Related posts:

Eccentricity, transformation, and true happiness

Simon Doonan says that haute fashion is ultra boring. I say, “So is wearing/doing what everyone else is wearing/doing!“ Doonan’s book on “Eccentric Glamour” urges girls to just say no to boobs, botox and bleached hair. It is the call for ALL women to dress (and can we extend that to conducting themselves, as well?) with Related posts:

You know what this means? Thursday loves include - ? Fish nor Fowl – for those who are neither this nor that…? Mischief, My Dear! – making beautiful treasures for Etsy shoppers since 2009 ?
