Sunday girls dancing with the Perfume Boys

Oh, what a joyful feeling
Celebrate it now;
Make these happy moments last a day
Or life!



Cubica (Korean brand) ruffled nude blouse - thrifted , me looking a bit pale :( close and personal with the camera  

***

These few days were hectic and tiring, full of too much words, food, troubles and heat. I had a slight heatstroke after playing tennis under the sun, which meant the entire day was spent drifting somewhere in-between feverish musings and siting in front of the computer listening to music. There's still a lot to do and no progress made.

I did, however, manage to squeeze in a little "speed shopping" yesterday afternoon when I popped into my favorite thrift store to check out their new goodies (the shopper in me never tires!). The results ? A purple polo t-shirt for sports, and also this nude- colored ruffled blouse by a Korean brand. It was hidden amongst the millions of stacks, racks and piles of clothing in the store, and it took tremendous strength to shift away the mess before I got ahold of this darling. I'm totally in love with this blouse now, I wear it as much as I can!

***

I've been experimenting with coloring in portraits (taken this morning). I still prefer the originals though, the coloring makes me look eerie. Speaking of eerie, here's a little "conceptual" "mini-series" of photos also taken just now. I put them together to create a slightly washed out, ghostly effect.


All the Sunday girls are dancing with the perfumed boys 
Why can't enjoy - my head is full of noise?
Gravity terminates
We will disperse into infinity 
(lyrics, song below)



Dark and pale contrasted, and there's the creepy window lighting again behind me ....

Tune of my recent life : 
Still Here - Oh Land

  29. Absolutely beautiful photos! I actually used a jaw clip to hold my bun up really high. Otherwise, I just use volumizing powder spray, hair spray, a hair band, and bobby pins. It takes a while b/c I don't have very thick hair!
