With me everything is under the surface. My emotions are buried so deep I don't even seem to understand them, yet I try to. Because I've been held on pedestal so long that I have hard time operating out of it and thinking for myself, yet I know there's more to life than that and I want that more. I'm learning to stand up for myself and to demand respect and love I deserve. I'm flawed to the bone, but I'm growing all the time. I wholeheartedly believe that “Beauty Will Save The World” and I base my life around this motto. It's less about vanity and more about decay, it's to elevate the cultivation of beauty as a primary form of self-development.

This is just a collection of things and people that have been influential in my life and made me the person I am. SUEDE. Fashion. Second tier britpop bands you probably never heard of (Marion, Strangelove, Gene, Mansun, Geneva, Adorable, Rialto, Menswe@r...). New Wave (both old and modern). Good music in general. Design. Art. Photography David Sylvian and Japan. Mad Men and other TV dramas. Old Movies. 60s pop culture. Models. Grace Kelly. People with great hair. Melodramatic drama queens. And so on.

Please keep in mind that I'm hopelessly infatuated with Neil Codling but it's not all about the cheekbones.
