Locked In My Own Daze

I live in a generation where everyone always is all about what the new thing is. While I think that may indeed be a good thing, since having something new always means there is development and progress, I cannot help but think that sometimes, reverting back to the old, the tried and the tested matters too. I've heard it all happen over and over again, people complain about doing the same old thing. I don't quite know when it happened exactly when the "same old thing" became synonymous with "boring" and I know that such a generalization is absolutely false. I find comfort in the classics which is probably why I find rummaging through my mom's old clothes so much fun. Case in point: this dress.

Wide Awake

I may be strange but...what are you?

I think I look a whole lot like Emily The Strange in my new haircut. But my bangs were beyond rescuing as I was a frustrated hairstylist and cut them quite unevenly. So Japanese Doll chop was the only choice I had. Sad, but not quite.
Change is always good.

Day 5.

So I step inside, pour a glass of wine
With a full glass and an empty heart
I search for something to occupy my mind....

Doll Parts

I want to be the girl with the most cake.

DOLL PARTS- HOLE

I am doll eyes
Doll mouth, doll legs
I am doll arms, big veins, dog bait
Yeah, they really want you, they really want you, they really do
Yeah, they really want you, they really want you, but I do too
I want to be the girl with the most cake
I love him so much it just turns to hate
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday, you will ache like I ache
Someday, you will ache like I ache
I am doll parts
Bad skin, doll heart
It stands for knife
For the rest of my life
Yeah, they really want you, they really want you, they really do
Yeah, they really want you, they really want you, but I do, too
I want to be the girl with the most cake
He only loves those things because he loves to see them break
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday, you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache

Wear your real eyes
No you don’t realize
What you say yes to
But you say yes too

-Lasso, Phoenix

Never realized my eyes were THAT big until this shoot. I always thought I was semi-chinky eyed and quite Chinese looking (I am after all at least 35% Chinese) but now I guess I understand why people mistake me for Korean (Ulzzang!) or Japanese almost 90% of the time.
Also this makes me realize, the power that lies behind big doll doe eyes.... you get what you want most of the time if you use 'em to your advantage.
Think Puss In Boots in Shrek... who couldn't resist those eyes? Haha.

Note: Pardon the vanity. Tricia just did a really awesome job shooting me, I cannot help but share. More photos soon!

Now here is my mantra and the inspiration behind the name of my blog. It's a quotation by Anais Nin:

"I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason.
I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me.
Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go.
Reality doesn't impress me.
I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another.
No more walls."
