yep...

I think if we all chose class people as icons instead of losers with nice legs we would all be cooler and less flimsy in general. Style shows from the inside. People had true style in them days because they understood the power of sophistication and the advantage of intelligence and true talent. They weren’t afraid to be grown up because it was cool to be grown up and uncool to be immature. People today are just like “arrh look at my bum, I can’t remember what happened yesterday whoop whoop smiley face :0!”.

some people, they just say stuff really good...

why americans do it better

they may not be able to make a decent up of tea, but they do have bloody decent signage....

artyness

most afternoons in portland are rainy ones. so you tend to do a lot of arty/museumy-type gallery things. i dragged my poor wee intellectual friend into the modern art museum, forced her to part with 15 precious dollars that could have gone on voodoo doughnuts, and tried to defend a room full of duct tape being called art.

murakami did not help matters.



oh right then...

i gave up after this one.

fat american

my grandma tells me if i come home a total fatty, i am out the will. i love her dearly, but am choosing to ignore this for the time being (plus, i generally just steal whatever i fancy from her)...

heart-attack in a sandwich

a disappointing experience

yes, that is a homemade pop-tart you are looking at...

the first meal that conquered me. it was scary.

the tourist

hello! i am in america...

i have mostly been doing v.historical and intellectual activities, whilst rocking my favourite 'tourist' look of ankle socks and special-looking vans:

doesn't my very good friend/travel bro, madi, also make an excellent tourist?

 

one of my most favourite tourist activities, has been enjoying a great abundance of skies that look like this every day:

i know... americans are so bloody greedy

so far my main observatsions have been:

1. in boston, you are never more than 5 metres from a dunkin donuts.
2. banana french toast, is the reason i have taste buds.
3. breakfast in general is a fantastic invention.
4. i get lost without maps.
5. i get lost with maps.
6. all the best vintage shops in williamsburg are shut on tuesdays. i don't know why.
7. the one vintage shop that is open, has the shittest sales girl ever. i know my $4 mickey mouse top is not exactly celine, but there is no need to crush it into a ball and throw it in a bag in quite such a manner, thanks...
8. in new york, it is easy to forget you are not minted like everyone else. therefore, it is quite understandable that you think nothing of spending $100 on a pair of madewell jeans, even though you are about to go to texas. and its fucking summer. and you need to eat for the next 2 months.
9. don't try and wear your cool lattice leather sandals, that you can never wear at home because your home is scotland. you end up with a cool lattice-tan on your feet. this is logical, but your brain is dumbfounded by this.
10. stop wearing your new 'in god we trust' necklace, that reads: "balls to the wall". it is metal and metal does heat up rather quickly in the sun. and a burnt neck hurts like a mother.


if you think i should write a travel book, with this kind of quality info, do let me know.

organise

i don't think i really mind what i'm looking at, as long as its nice, neat piles or arranged in an orderly line.

i love seeing what people care about the most and how they take care of them. i love people who iron properly, and are quite proud of it. i love people who use shoe trees, and get heels repaired regularly. i love people who de-bobble their woolies and bleach their whites. 

if any men are like this, come marry me xx

i want to go to the races
