lo-lee-ta

I made a reference to Darian (Adrienne) Forrester in a post a lil over a year ago but I'm still feelin' her style today.

Gonna watch the movie again just for fun ♥
As luck would have it, The Crush will be available for Instant Watch on Netflix 7/1 :D

Growing up, I always wanted a pair of heart shapped shades.... they remind me of Kubrick's Lolita

Sue (or Suellyn) Lyon & I share birthdays, 7/10

summer reading perhaps? Not for me, my list is full, but if you've never read Nabokov's Lolita you definitely should:

pour over this.

I've never done any book recommendations here...not that I can recall at least...but I'd like to propose that everyone I know put down whatever book they're wrapped up in and head out to buy or download a copy of this book:

La Coquête du Pain, or The Conquest of Bread by Pierre (or Peter) Kropotkin

It's interesting how without ever had read his work before I already had the same ideas and opinions about the inadequacies of capitalism. Kropotkin discusses how fucked up the system is and how it thrives on keeping the poor down. He suggests an economic system built on mutual aid. He points out that this isn't anything new either. Kropotkin brings up all kinds of interesting points that I'll let you discover on your own. When you're ready to discuss (because what good is it to read a book if you don't reflect on it afterwards) I'll be here waiting. :D

  

Makes me want to revisit the TINTIN SHOP

Good grief!!!

I'm glad Gabe knows who Tintin is!!!! For a second there I was beginning to feel like an A L I E N. . .
We had a little trouble getting on the same page about the dogs name but as it turns out, we're both right! I know him only as Milou but Gabe knew him as Snowy.....lost in translation hehehe

I always loved Captain Haddock's turtleneck sweater. Anchors <3333

How funny is it that a raging alcoholic was one of the main characters in a children's comic series. His drunkenness was apart of the jokes all the time too. It's not like suggested through imagery or anything hahahah

Summer reading.

I've been obsessed with lil Edie and big Edie and everything connected with Grey Gardens after seeing the 1975 documentary.

I loved Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange in the 2009 for TV movie.

Now this:

Lil Edie's diary. I cannot wait to read this and get to know the world through the thoughts of a wealthy 11yr old living in 1929.
