“The inspiration behind the hair came from Victorian times when prostitutes would sell theirs for kits of hair locks, which were bought by people to give to their lovers. I used it as my signature label with locks of hair in Perspex. In the early collections, it was my own hair.”

I miss him.

extraordinary thing.

This feeling is intoxicating.
Its like waking up to the sunlight's light caress,
its the bass to a song that trembles your body,
its the sensation of rain finally falling on your fingertips as you walk to class,
its the realization that delicious caramel brulee lattes are back at starbucks,
its being enveloped by the beautiful chaos of an early Mcqueen show,
its placing a brush on a canvas to be completely absorbed by it,
its breathing in a cold breeze, while holding fire in your heart.
its all combined.

its happiness.

Love,
Jen

son mas que palabras.

Mi Diego:

Espejo de la noche.

 Tus ojos espadas verdes dentro de mi carne, ondas entre nuestras manos.

Todo tu en el espacio lleno de sonidos. En la sombra y en la luz.

Tu te llamaras Auxocromo el que capta el color. Yo Cromoforo- la que da el calor.

Tu eres todas las combinacionesde numeros. La vida.

Mi deseo es entender la linea, la forma, el movimiento.

Tu llenas y yo recibo. Tu palabra recorre todo el espacios y llega a mis celulas

 que son astros y va a las tuyas que son mi luz.

-Frida 

...Reading Frida's love letters convinces me that our era lacks the passion and devotion that was found then. We dont take the time to write, we dont use ink to express the fever felt in our hearts, we dont even believe that a person can belong to us and form a lifeling union.

we stand as realists or undercover pessimists. 

perhaps this is progress...

or perhaps we have descended into a dark spiral of bitterness.

Love, 

Jen

'cause she's a crueller mistress.

Im apologizing in advance to my roommates for the overload of Florence you will have starting now....if there is such a thing. I cannot express how much each video strongly supports my need to go shopping with this woman. She's absolutely mesmerizing.   

While "What the water gave me" is my favorite of the two songs for the moment, "Shake it off" is undeniably visually stunning...maybe due to the fact that the wardrobe screams Tom Ford, teasing tattoo glimpses are present, and gypsy tendencies among high society bring a fulfilling sense to the song. 

I need say no more.

Love,

Jen
