Do you understand who I am? (Do you want to know?)

The Pretty Reckless' video for the song "Just Tonight" was free to download off of  iTunes last week. I watched it countless times this weekend and cannot get enough of the lovely visuals.
If you're like me and find a strange sort of beauty in all things dark and slightly morbid,then this is the video for you.

The song itself is beautiful as well.  Taylor Momsen's impressive voice shines through and adds the perfect touch of somber emotion to the lyrics.

  She wore some beautiful floor length, and darkly elegant gowns, as well as a bright red latex looking one that matched the color of the paint that she was dipping roses in, (see: first photo).

I LOVE the look of the dripping roses on the wall and am extremely tempted to try this method of "decor", myself!!

What do you think??!?!

10, 9, 8, and I'm breaking away. I'm all dressed up and ready to play.

This "celebrity stylist" game on seventeen.com is truly addictive. If you should find yourself utterly bored to near-death, definitely check it out.

You can pick and choose from Taylor Momsen, Katy Perry, or Rihanna, among others.

It kind of stops being fun when you've exhausted all your options, though.

The End.

Taste me. Drink my soul... I belong to the night.

So I think everybody can agree that it's a little risky for actors to "cross over" into music, and vice versa, when musicians cross into acting. It could either work really freaking well, or be a COMPLETE. DISASTER.

Enter Taylor Momsen of Gossip Girl fame: she's breaking out into the rock music world with a band, The Pretty Reckless.

I like the name. I heard a couple of songs earlier this year. And all in all, I think this just might work for her. I guess what I like the most is that she seems to genuinely try to be herself and not give a crap what Hollywood critics might say. She strikes me as being REAL, independent, and mature, rather than FAKE, and obnoxious like some other famous kids her age, currently running around out there, acting like "rockers"... (don't make me say their names).

Some people think Taylor is dressing "too sexy" in this new role, but I have to say that it's really not that bad. She's mature enough to get away with it. And, Hell, if I had the legs to pull off fishnets like that, I totally would. And I want the black slip/dress thing she's wearing in the performance part of the video for the song "Make me wanna Die". It looks comfy.

Bottom line is, the girl actually has an unexpectedly good voice and this band's sound really suits her. Not to mention, the tunes are pretty catchy.

Also, I respect people who embrace their "dark" side ;)


Check out the song/video for "Make me wanna Die", below, and tell me what YOU think:











the ONLY thing that bothers me with this song, is that it seems to have taken a line directly from Garbage's "Number One Crush": "I would die for you/I would lie for you/I would steal for you".

HMMMMMMMMMM.

I hate insomnia.

currently listening to: nothing, because I'm waiting for my freaking ipod to charge.

So it's nearly 1a.m. and I decided to turn my computer on because my ipod is dead and I really need to listen to something so I can relax and fall asleep. I've had a hellish week, which is why I haven't been blogging lately, as I've been wanting no human contact lately, and I'm not sure if it's going to get much better anytime soon, but music definitely would help right about now.

Ahhh... life.

But anyways.

I recently found out that the next big designer to have a collection for Target's GO International thingy is none other than Anna Sui, and that, supposedly, this collection was inspired by the characters of Gossip Girl. I have to say I'm actually kind of excited. I haven't watched Gossip Girl since last LAST season because I work every monday night and after a while it just got ridiculous because I had/have NO idea of what's even going on anymore, but I do continue to admire Taylor Momsen and Leighton Meester (the actresses) and their styles on the show (as Jenny H. and Blair Waldorf).

Here's the link to check out the slideshow of the upcoming nineteen looks that have been leaked:

ANNA SUI SLIDESHOW IN NY MAG

I must say that the very first one: the black lace little minidress has MY name written all over it. Not so much Blair's.

*WANTS VERY BADLY*








September can't come soon enough :(

We weren't put here just to wait, you know...

It's only been two days since my last post but it feels like two weeks. I need to stop neglecting this blog so much. Haven't had time to dye my hair yet, but I'm still thinking about it. I should squeeze that in sometime this week during shopping and sewing, and redecorating my room. If I can.

ANYways...

I haven't been able to stop staring at the latest issue of Nylon. I really kind of have a love/hate relationship with that magazine. Sometimes it bores me to death or fails to get my attention in a positive way... other times I love it to pieces.

These are my favourite pages from this current issue: And, once again, I apoligize for the crappy quality of the photos taken with my digital camera. I don't own a scanner. Blah.

*Super cute spread featuring Taylor Momsen. How adorable is she? I still can't believe she's only 15... did anyone here look like this at 15? 'Cause I sure didn't.


*LOVING the clown/mime/harlequin styling. I wish I could do this hairstyle on my hair.


*I couldn't stop staring at this page. I love love LOVE this outfit. I'm not even sure why:


*And finally... I'm a sucker for short skirts/dresses. The shorter the better ;) haha, but seriously, this vintage dress is super cute. Maybe I can try to make one like it. Different colours, of course. And shoes. I need new shoes. I never thought I'd become one of those girls that becomes obsessed with cute shoes/heels but somewhere along the line I did. Shoes complete the outfit, after all.


Oh, and who remembers Samara... the uber creepy, yet somehow cute little girl that crawls out of the television screen in The Ring and killed everyone?? She's eighteen years old now!! That's her in the last photo!! How cool is that?!

"You have seven days."

HA!

I had a friend who changed his name but couldn’t change himself. Never quite figured out how to deal with what life had dealt.

Old people shouldn't be allowed to drive. Sounds mean, but come on now... you know you feel the same way.

Movies I saw this past week: Romeo + Juliet (said it once and I'll say it again: I'll NEVER get tired of that movie! I'm getting better at memorizing Shakesperean lines. Fun.), Paranoid Park featuring Taylor Momsen of Gossip Girl...

... Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Johnnyyyyyyy), first half of The Matrix (hadn't seen this one in a while, but I couldn't stay up too late and so I called it quits by 2a.m. seeing as how it was messing with my mind a little too much), and finally tonight I caught the first half of Fight Club. For some reason I've never been able to make it through that entire film. I don't know why. Tonight I think I just lost interest. But I do always enjoy seeing Brad Pitt walking around in that funny lilac bathrobe with the cutesy coffe mug appliques... oh my god I just found the actual site that sells them!!

Too hilarious.

Tyler DURden.

Wonder what moogies I'll watch this week. Can't wait.

If anyone cares to make any suggestions/recommendations, please do :) I'm still trying to decide whether Twilight is worth watching or not. Someone wanna convince me?
