Elegy for Dunkirk-Dario Marianelli

Drop thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of thy peace.

Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still small voice of calm!


Joseph Merrick

" 'Tis true my form is something odd,
But blaming me is blaming God;
Could I create myself anew
I would not fail in pleasing you.

If I could reach from pole to pole
Or grasp the ocean with a span,
I would be measured by the soul;
The mind's the standard of the man."
-Joseph Merrick
5 August 1862-11 April 1890

This made my day :P

The Girl you just called a Mudblood? She spends hours practicing spells hoping people will like her.
The boy you just stupefied? His parents use the Cruciatus Curse on him regularly.
That kid you just pushed? He is trying to use the killing curse on himself.
That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother was killed by a Death Eater.

Put this on your status for an hour, if you are against Bullying in the Wizarding World. You never know what it's like until you fly a mile on their broom.
If your gay, it's a sin. If your bisexual, your confused. If your skinny, your on drugs. If your fat, your a slob. If your dressed up, your conceited. If you speak your mind, your a bitch. If you don't say anything, you must be miserable. If you cry, your a drama queen. If you have male friends, your a whore. If you defend urself, your a troublemaker.You can't do anything without being critized. Love me or hate me, but you will never change me.

Nicola Formichetti-Role Model :)

http://www.nicolaspopupshop.com/

Nicola Formichetti is an internationally prolific fashion director and fashion editor. He is most widely known as the new creative director for the French fashion house MUGLER, and for being a frequent collaborator with singer-songwriter and performance artist Lady Gaga. Formichetti is also known as fashion director of Vogue Hommes Japan, is a contributing editor of several other fashion magazines, and is fashion director for the clothing company Uniqlo.  In November 2010 he was named one of the "most influential creative forces working in fashion today."

Nicola and I always joke around saying we want to make these tee shirts that say 'fuck fashion' on them because we love fashion so much but in another way we want to explode it, ruin it and recreate it, then ruin it again and recreate it because I don't want any status attached to fashion. I don't want any pretence attached to it because I want it to be something that my fans, and Nicola wants it to be something for his fans, something that everyone could have. Beautiful, tangible and something from the inside.
-Lady Gaga


Formichetti has repeatedly declared he is "not an elitist" in fashion, instead wanting to share what he does with everyone, using the Internet for this purpose. Like Gaga, who has inspired him to do so, he also interacts with and is inspired by his followers, and usually works in collaboration with others. He sees himself not as a "stylist", which term he rejects, but rather as an art director "whose job it is to create moods, oversee an overall image."

With the best styling in the world, a shit image is still shit. I love being in control of the whole thing—the design, the styling, the photography, and then getting it into a magazine and the marketing and trend forecasting.
-Nicola Formichetti


His influence is varied. Before his MUGLER collections even premiered he was ranked the most influential stylist in the world, in no small part because of the enormous volume of his fashion magazine work, including making Vogue Hommes Japan "the most powerful Japanese-language publication in the global fashion industry", and because of his consulting for a number of fashion houses and other brands.It is with and through Lady Gaga as her fashion director, however, that Formichetti's influence on culture is greatest. Previously the role and influence of stylists was more limited, and while others have become designers, he is the first to take control of a major fashion house, interpreted as the most prominent example of a stylist becoming a power broker within the industry. Formichetti's eclectic selection for the avant-garde Gaga of pieces from designers ranging vastly from the great, such as Giorgio Armani, to the obscure, has influenced what has been described as a "cultural phenomenon" of imitation, extending even into "provincial backwaters". He frequently meets and is very hopeful for many younger talents who are interested in fashion today.

First Heartbreak

"I suppose its like mourning isnt it?
As if someone has died...
Because, he's so invested in something and that part of yourself
is dying you know?

It's like gut wrenching.
And then, you've got a kind of. ...

I suppose it's like ying and yang you know?
And then, you
you have to try feel whole yourself again.

Cos, when you're in a relationship,
you are quite imeshed in a way.
So. ..."

I always have the most entertaining converations on BBM/Facebook/Twitter with this fine piece of Crumpet :P
Usually about our mutual hatred of jocks, macaroons, fashion, Kreayshawn, Cape Twon and how we are going to build a time machine so we can live in the 1940-70's and then go to the future to the 90's and be the Purple team on Legends of the Hidden Temple and watch all our childhood favourite TV Shows that have hence been cancelled by the Nickoledeon Exec's who have no good taste in TV Shows :e.
