full to bursting

dear universe:

what do i have to do to be this person? the one who's hair perfectly matches her eyeshadow just like bam, and who is so whatever-cool-classy-devil-may-care? please tell me what i have to do. i will do it. because she is everything and all of the things both at once. thank you.

more cowgirls! more prairies! i am reading all the pretty horses, so it only seems right.

this girl i imagine to be a firecracker in one of them prairie schoolhouses my grandma used to teach in. where all the grades and ages are in one room. and she's too smart and driven. and she stirs up trouble. and, of course, she rides a horse like a total badass. her story will probably end in tragedy because, you know, the times. probably something like in carnivàle. but for now she is sassy and vital and oh so in charge of her destiny. nothing but dust and dirt and the horizon and the endless prairie sky reflecting in her eyes.

what it is i do to you to keep you warm

you know the joanna newsom song, right? 'candy weighing both of my pockets down...'

great line in a great song.

and that's what this marni made me think over and over. think of the sour chews i could stash in those pockets! public transit would be soooooo much better.

i am also mega-pro the fur collars, especially the plaid (PLAID!) one and the one with owl-eye-like broaches on. i do think that emma's shoes and my shoes got together and made babies (which is weird) and those babies are these shoes. right?
