they stare at me while i crave you

I walked into the room dripping in gold
Yeah dripping in gold
I walked into the room dripping in gold
Dripping in gold
A wave of heads did turn, or so I've been told
Or so I've been told
My heart broke when I saw you kept your gaze controlled
Oh I cannot solve

Starting off this post with me in my big black glasses and a beanie cap by Grace Hats (a Japanese brand).  The lighting for the photo was a little eerie, as it casted a huge shadow across my face. But I don't mind, the photos turned out well. I can't help making faces (as usual) when I'm taking photos. It's a bad habit I have whenever someone points a camera at my face. 


That's me and my cousin, a little girl who enjoys taking pictures, making faces and wearing hats. I know, she sounds exactly like me. It's true - when we get together for the monthly house party, we end up with hundreds of self-portraits and photos together. You can see that she took my flowery summer hat (above) and I was stuck with her beanie. That was our attempt at looking cool. 


Every time we get together, it's inevitably pizza time. Last night, however, we had sushi instead. Those salmon and tuna rolls were superb... Ate until we're stuffed, played Wii Sports, barbie dolls, listened to Korean Pop music, Asian rock songs and then the fun started - we watched ghost stories on Youtube and started searching up horror movies online ! 


The rest of the kids in the house played video games all night (the guys). Us girls just took pictures with my camera and tried to pose like Korean singers do in their promotional pictures ... Apparently they do all sorts of things with their hands ! Mr. Puppy joined us for the pictures. 


Smiling at the camera - I love her expression in this picture. She loves my hat and proposed a hat swap for four days. Now I got the beanie cap in my house, and she got my hat in her bag. Hats, hats, hats. I LOVE HATS. My blog's name, Fantail Flo, is named after a hat as a tribute. Fantail Hats are large floppy 18th Century hats worn by Englishmen and women when going out. 


Rawr - the puckered mouth pose. So tell me, do you do strange things with your hands in pictures ? Do you make faces at the camera ? Do you sometimes follow celebrities' poses for photos ? 

Do you like taking self-portraits ? (nods head) Hate it ? Embarrassed ?

  6. Haha you guys are super adorable, as are your hats! I still don't feel all out comfortable taking photos, but usually I act pretty idiotic. I know some people who are super good at posing and taking care to put their hands somewhere that looks good, but my hands always just end up looking weird :P

  72. Sensational piece. I without a doubt resonated together with "they stare at me while i crave you".
    I shouldn't produce hardship as a result of declaring this however your information reminded me of seersucker bridesmaid dresses that i found out about on a web pages available for seersucker bridesmaid dresses just recently.
