SUMMER LIST

A LIST OF THINGS I WANT TO DO OVER THE SUMMER AND WHY
1. MAKE A CORSET - A girl in my Time class whipped up an entire steampunk outfit in like, three weeks. We're talking a hitched up skirt, attached bustle, underskirt, fully boned corset, leather harness and belt, leather gauntlet and hat. Lots of stamping and decorative stitching.

So I think I'm going to try to make a nice simple underbust or waist cincher sometime this summer.

2. Try oil painting.

I've always kind of butted heads with acrylic painting. Maybe oil will work?

3. Do a drawing a day for a whole month.

4. GO TO THE GYM AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK FOR AN HOUR EACH TIME.
Yeah, I've gotten a little slacked off and now my pants are tight, so it's time to fix that.

5. Learn how to cook 
Because there are only so many times you can make scrambled eggs without succumbing into madness.

SUMMER IN THE CITY

The air has just turned from the crispness of spring to the solid humidity of summer.

The trees are in bloom


I can finally bask my pale legs in the sunshine



The courtyard of my school is secluded from the busy street, sunny, and grassy, and thus perfect for naps. Bring a blanket, though, or else you'll get cigarette butts in your hair

Even the dead brick walls are in bloom!

SO THIS IS WHAT MY HAIR IS DOING.

My experiment with the trendy sideswept bangs has come to an end. Every once in a while they turned out okay, but most days they got in my face and sagged weirdly.

Back to the straight bangs that I've had for half my life...yay?





At least now its long enough to play with now
