B L A C K - P Y R A M I D . *

my friend jen showed her gorgeous terrarium crystal balls at this shop Black Pyramid in SF and i stumbled upon their blog. the best part of their boutique, of course, is their jewelry. SO amazing (and so expensive), and reminds me a lot of my beloved bona drag. i know that my og witchy homegirls and i get perturbed that everything we've been into since seventh grade is UBER-hip right now, but on the other hand it's fairly convenient because everything that was so hard to find is suddenly readily available and i can stock up. it'll go out of style again in a year and then i'll just have more crystals and daggers and go back to being a dork.*

I Would Die for You.*

The New Gypsies.*

in the heat of the summer, each day has been driven by a relentless momentum, and it's wonderful. one day last week, one of my closest and oldest friends came to visit from new york on one of her cross-country gypsy adventures. we went to a bookstore and i stumbled upon this photographer, ian mckell and his book the new gypsies, which documents nomadic tribes of people at stonehenge during summer solstice. they are breathtaking and make me just want to pack up and go. plans for the future, where time stands still....*

90s Lust Strikes Again.*

i keep thinking about how much i miss being a teenager and watching "my so-called life," relating to angela chase and having these posters from seventeen mag up in my purple room as i dyed my hair red for the first time circa 1994. thank you, claire danes, for embodying our glorious teenage angst of the 90s. poor millennium kids got no role models as worthy as ours were, but maybe that's just my generational bias talking. whatever.*

Remembering my Dirty Southern Adventures.*

just reminiscing on past travels...it's summertime again, which means it's time to travel back to my southern roots...moonshine, national forests, swamps, ghosts, voodoo, haunted mausoleums, gothic cemetaries....dreams do come true.*
