gallantry + chivalry

i get really nostalgic for a time during which i didn't even live when i see ads from the chivas commercial ad campaign that "draws inspiration from the fundamental values of modern men". i want to meet a man who upholds these values & only dresses in expensive suits & attends fancy cocktail parties at classy peoples' homes. *~prince charming~*

watch the chivas ad here


because it is midterm week & i am less concerned with photographing myself & more concerned with procrastinating, i thought i would upload a picture from fancy party 09 in the spirit of chivas.

introduction

last week i finished applying to college. even though in reality that means that i have returned to the life of a highschooler with no burdens other than those of homework and extracirricular activities, for some reason our school's culture believes that second semester seniors have no obligation to accomplish anything required of them, including things as rudimentary as attendance. i can't say i agree with this odd philosophy of demotivation, but i do feel like it is time to embark on my journey to accomplish a lot of random things.
1) make some sequined knee-high socks
2) write a book
3) play sims 3
4) start a fashion blog
aside from writing  a book i can't say i really have explanations for any of the aforementioned goals. regardless of that fact, here i am.
