My new fave! <3

Im still making progress with my book, The Secret of Scent,  (so nerdy and cool!!) but as I sit in the waiting room, I have listened to one of my new faves. You have sure heard her song "Bulletproof" in any reputable club/party/family gathering. La Roux, a brit red-head (score!) has smashing songs, superb style and a rockstar attitude. I recently read a small interview (pardon the redundance) in Interview Magazine and knew that I HAD to check her out. Go ahead and check her music!!! 

New Book.

I actually finished my book two days ago, but felt a disconnection with the web. The book was a little dull, but in a sense it was because of the attitude I had towards it at the end. I recognize the feat that Friedman is attempting to do (predict for a whole century). Friedman's predictions seem feasible to me for sure, yet I feel a little silly reading of what will(?) happen in 100 years because I truly doubt I will be alive. (Who knows, maybe mortality rate drops dramatically.)

Nonetheless, I started reading a new book called "The Secret of Scent" by Luca Turin pictured above. This guy goes bananas for perfume. And I am glad he does. I want a truly perfume junkie to teach me the wonders of scent and perfume. I have always been passionately attached to scent. All of my memories are accompanied by a scent. This will be an interesting read. Wait around to see what will happen. 

WHATEVER.

I have really been struggling to finish my book. But I don't care. I'm posting because I want to. When I avoid reading my book I read my magazines and I was reading Vogue Paris, The collections. I read 4 collection per day and truly digest them. One of my favorites so far has been Stefano Pilati's YSL. I loved the tulip skirts and bold blouses. Pilati's empowers the female figure with striking clothing and using leather to express sexuality without being literal. I love it and I am already waiting to read more of my magazine.

I promise myself...

I just realized something about waiting. I never EVER threw a tantrum as a child, teen, or mid-adult. I should totally expect one soon. I guess I have to wait for one. 

ps. 

I WILL NOT POST UNTIL I FINISH MY BOOK.

Ooo La La! Les Français nettoient!

No longer does Paris have that reputation of being a stinky city. Well it is true that most french people enjoy perfume (my french tutor sure loved his cologne!!), but when I said stinky I meant because of the putrid Seine. As this article notes, the salmon are returning to a cleaner Parisienne river! 

Well I love me some salmon and perhaps this is an evidence that my little effort to revert global warming is actually paying off. YAY!

Heading to the gym and this is what I will listen to.

Diane Birch! 

I love her! Her sweet power voice, mellow sounds and cute face are sure rocking the music scene. I have no doubt that she will very soon shake things up with her stupendous lyrics and her tremendous music. I even love the fact that she has this "Penelope Tree" look to her. STOP WAITING and run to buy her album "Bible Belt." I am sure you will enjoy it. 

I LOEWE HYE PARK

My utter most favorite model is Hye Park. I absolutely love her. Her mole, her bitch face, her eyes. Ugh! Everything. She looks hot as ever in Loewe Fall 2009. Take a look! 

Midnight Lullaby

Time for bed. Sia is rocking me to bed. Love her. LOVE HER! 

I NEED TO FINISH THIS BOOK.

i have always been a lazy reader. Truthfully, I hardly ever read a book all the way. So it's true. I never read "The Great Gatsby", yet I deftly passed the quiz. 

Well things changed this summer and I became a total bookworm. It might be because I was so focused with art school for a year, that when summer came, all I needed was  some kind of intellectual stimuli. Don't get me wrong. I find art moving, intellectual and wholesome overall, but I would be lying if I say that art and books stimulate me the same way. Books are more one sided to me. Purely mental. Art is more of a global way of trigger my mind. 

Anyways, this summer I have been reading a lot. I read "How We Decide" by Jonah Lehrer, "The Roots of Desire" by Marion Roach, "In Pursuit of Elegance" by Matthew E. May, and "The Beautiful People" by Simon Doonan. Almost all of them were great reads (sorry Mr. May). I will comment on some of them, probably later on. I am currently reading "The Next 100 Years" by George Friedman. This book looked so promising and enticing among the Non-Fiction pile, yet I am struggling so badly to get through this book. I was enjoying it, but it is becoming a little annoying. I am determined to finish it within the next two days. Ugh. You guys will have to wait. 

First Post

This is my first post. Ever. 

I am thrilled to begin this new hobby. No. Not hobby. I hate the word hobby. I will call it an archive. An archive of my thoughts. All the stuff that goes through my mind. Quite possibly, there will be some occasional time that waiting was worthwhile. I will sure document it.
