Heart of Chambers

Something like a simpler mix of all 3 of these. Not sure if I want a rope on it yet though.

Art is an Attempt to Live Beautifully

Might be getting a new tattoo tomorrow! Have been wanting an anchor for a really long time but haven't gotten up the guts to get it on my wrist, I think that a year is pretty good proof that I won't change my mind :)

Check out this picture of Kate Moss with an anchor tattoo, I want mine a bit bigger, not upside down, and a little higher up, but essentially very similar.

Uhm, also I'd like to point out that Kate Moss is one of the most beautiful women in the world, and I fucking lover her, even in spite of her filthy little blow habit :)

New Haircut

Haha remember that guido youtube video "my new hair cut". It was terrible and ridiculous yet still somewhat entertaining. Well last night I sat in a cardboard box (the "Britterbox" ... thanks Dara) and Gabby chopped off my hair while I crouched, half naked, palms sweaty with terror and anticipation.
It came out so well I bloody love it and she's my new hairdresser. The best part is I get to sleep with her after :) Oh yeahhh.
Anyways here's my new haircut, my new bikini top ($15 Old Navy).
And my new manicure, inspired by people who smoke in New York City taxi cabs.

When I'm Sixty Four

When and if I have a home of my own...

Summer Nomad

The past two weeks I've been living slightly nomadic(ly?) out of my purse and such, between some friends houses. They are lovely and kind and I am lucky to have them, and also they are like, the coolest people ever, which makes me so happy that I have them.
Work is an hour away from my parents home, or a 15 minute walk/train ride away from my roomies house, so it makes more sense to stay there. Also they don't tell me when to be home, haha, they just leave the door open so I can sneak in and hop into be whenever. It's lovely.
Anyways, here's to some of the best days of my summer, thanks to G-Breezy and Dizzle-G, (yo let's take this bong out for a yog).
Love you girlies, and I wish I could stay over more often but I'm getting worn down bussing all over the city for home, food, shower, new clothes, work and hangouts. <3

Freak Flag

The black and hippy protests going on during this period overlapped (time-wise), but most hippies were still intent on peaceful protest. On October 21 and 22, 1967, 35,000 anti-war protesters stormed the Pentagon. They were greeted with tear gas. Eventually all the demonstrators sat down in front of the Pentagon and the assembled troops (MPs). The standoff continued while the protesters held teach-ins, sang songs, chanted and listened to speeches. Many demonstrators went up to the MPs and talked to them about peace and love. A famous photo shows a young man placing a flower in the rifle muzzle of a guardsman. As day became night, some of the troops were won over. The protest was so peaceful at this point, no one felt threatened. People started fires to keep warm, and a community was forming.

Around midnight, paratroopers relieved the MPs and they started to clear out the demonstrators with force. 647 protesters were arrested, often after being severely beaten by the paratroopers and U.S. Marshals. In response, later that same week, draft deferments were eliminated for those who violated draft laws or interfered with recruitment, two common tactics of the protesters.

So this is most likely going to be my next (or one of the next) tattoo's I get. It will just be the gun, and a hand placing a flower in it. Beautiful :) Power of nature, peace and love against the man :)
