The Boathouse Cafe

Moving to Washington wasn’t a choice, it was a neccessity. I felt like I was suffucating in the Albuquerque dust, wanting something but knowing I’d never get it. So, I ran, and it rained for two full weeks. I drove to a waterfront as soon as the clouds cleared, and I sat. I thought I would feel free, but I was drowning in lost dreams. Clear blue water did not cure my sadness, so I had to pull something from deep within me and fix myself. Escape was not the answer because it was only the beginning.

I don’t love you (like I did yesterday)

My Chemical Romance (MCR) is one of my longtime favorite bands. I fashioned Sascha’s Designs “Gamay” to resemble the chick in the “I don’t love you” video. Her lover was cased in black. This is my interpretation of her outfit.

Well, when you go
Don’t ever think I’ll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I’ll be off to find another way

And after all this time that you still owe
You’re still a good-for-nothing, I don’t know

So take your gloves and get out
Better get out while you can

When you go, and would you even turn to say
“I don’t love you like I did yesterday”?

Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby, when they knock you down and out
Is where you oughta stay

And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar’s just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up while you can
Whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa

When you go, and would you even turn to say
“I don’t love you like I did yesterday”?

Yeah, I should have.

Pink Forever

While we can wear pink all year, there is nothing like pink in spring. It’s the freshest color that I know of and it has an essence of innocence. Doesn’t that remind you of the beginning of spring? The blooms of spring may have to withstand a last minute frost. Can they survive? =(

So fresh, innocent, and a symbol of resilence. 💗

Remember When?

January is the month for looking forward, but it’s also the best month to reflect. It’s Designer Showcase’s 15 year anniversary, and I can’t believe it. I have so many fond memories as a blogger. Fashion has changed so drastically. Remember when we had to put on multiple pieces? Remember when our outfits weren’t as shiny as the ads? Lol, I’m loving the technology and showcases that let designers shine. Happy anniversary Designer Showcase! ❤️
