"So sleep and dream of LOVE...because it's the closest you will get to LOVE...."


This video...I mean theres so much to it...yet it remains so SIMPLE.....Morrissey is arguably at his sexiest in his sheer shirt...the band aid on the nipple? the hearing aide? the chocolate bar played like a harmonica? The apple in the mouth? and I mean the VILE hat goes without saying doesn't it?!?!??!? His awkward yet sultry "moves".....One of my favourites...visually and lyrically....

Thank you Steven....

XOXO

a Winter Miracle: McQueen [aka:another ode to a dress]


.....your footsteps sound like breaking glass...like the tinkling of a thousand chimes blowing across a frozen lake....hands like mice tear at your face and the moons cool reflection wraps itself around you like a cape.....snowflakes form a diadem and the rustling of leaves is all you can hear....

Elegance...and all at once.....it's over.....

XOXO

Reflections: Three Imaginary Boys:Seventeen Seconds:Faith:B-Sides


I mean really...what does one say exactly...about a group that shaped your life...a group that helped make me who i am...who's lyrics flow through me like my very blood...whos image is burned into my brain and whos hairstyles I spent endless hours and cans of hairspary imitating.....whos albums I listened to in the dark of night amazed that someone actually knew how i felt.....What do you say about that??? How do you react when presented with a once {or twice} in  a lifetime experience???? You intitnally freak out as the teenage you rears it's angsty head and rememebrs...remembers what it was like...remembers all the pain and all the joy all the loss and all the dissapointment....then as the calm washes over you....you bask in the amazingness you are about to witness.......


First 3 albums back to back in their entirety and 3 encores of corresponding b-sides.....Songs never played...never heard...excpet on vinyl late at night....until...well...NOW

Your excited...your sweating...you a little drunk and dying from anticipation....and with a flick of the lights...it begins....




I could go on and on about how I felt...and how I got goosebumps...and how I teared up...and how I yelled my heart out...and how i hugged myself and felt 15 and vunerable and new again...and how hearing "Faith" mixed with "2 Late" made me have an out of body experience {SERIOUSLY!!!!!}.....How I smiled so much my face hurt and How i sang EVERY LYRIC to EVERY SONG....I could go on and on and on and on and on....








Robert seemed to be really enjoying himself and Simon still looked so HOT.....Lol was back and Jason was a bit off time sometimes...{as usual}...Roger was teasing Lol alot and the band just seemed to be on point.....lyrics were mostly remembered and the darker songs were indeed the stronger songs...and Roberts between song banter was amazingly clear..... We laughed at every single "Q"......




So i hope these blurry pictures give you some insight into the concert....a show I waited my life to see....a show many of us waited our lives to see....and it was so fucking worth it.....Thanks to all my friends who i got to share this with...and to all of you who were there in spirit....

And Thank you to Robert and Simon, Roger and Lawrence...and yeah i guess Jason too...for making this the best 2 night I have had in a long time...you made teenage me...and adult me So very happy.....

"Hello image...send me a line from your favourite song....."

XOXO


Monday is Funday



again....just because...
