There’s going to be an article on me sometime in the future for TWIN magazine, whose editor used to be the editor of Lula. (I love Lula. They only do two issues a year for fifty bucks but it is very worth it.)
Some of my favorite people in Lula:
Zooey Deschanel (and with her is Karen Elson.)
By Ellen von Unwerth.
Natasha Khan / Bat For Lashes.
I would love to be a dreamy fashion photographer, I wish I had more training and connections. This may be my first real connection!
I would
prefer
to have something exciting
to move my life into a new direction.
Is design right for me? It seemed the probable direction to choose upon graduating from an art high school, when I decided that vocal performance/opera/musical theatre/whatever you may call it wasn’t going to work out, being a professional waiter while waiting for some big break. And then, even though it killed me and made my weight fluctuate, turned me into a zombie, stole my sleep, stole my spare time, I thought I had done a good amount of quality work.
So why is it
SOHARD
formetomakeit?
After having 7 internships at 5 different companies, I still cannot manage to get a job. I do nice work besides pretty photography?
But I just don’t know enough things?
I would be fine just working in a craft store or the library if it were enough to live on, but most importantly, I would be fine living in a tree house surrounded by books and music and access to the people I love. Tree house. Yeahhhh.
(I like these covers, although I’ve read none of them. From the Bookcover Archive.
The rate I am absorbing book pages has greatly increased during times on unemployment. But as my books-to-put-on-hold list of 50+ was accidentally deleted from the SFLibrary server, unbeknownst to me until today, I no longer have a queue of things to read. An endless sad face.
So, if anyone out there in the vast and spacious internet has a book (or long list of books!) to suggest to me, please do so with expediency! I need to do a lot of fun reading over the holidays, as I will be alone with cats for a week. Embroidering. Cleaning my false teeth. Making tea cozies? I don’t even know what a tea cozy is, nor do I really like tea except chai, but the point is that I will be a little old lady wrapped up in a blanket alone except for cats, and I REALLY NEED BOOKS TO FILL MY TIME OKAY THANKS?! I don’t need to validate myself here on the internet!
