So on a sudden spur of inspiration this is what i made out of stuff that i had in my house. I came across this picture on the internet and it really made me laugh. So instead of buying a shirt with this on (which my mum thought was inappropriate) i decided to make it into a picture to hang on my wall for my own entertainment.
I always store things in my room because i think what they could be useful for - and i'm so glad i did!!
this poster is made out of the covers of an old plastic notebook that i finished, and an old TRADER JOES bag. I love it- the bag even says (even if you can barely see it-) ReUSE and ReCYCLE, and the little girl with the bubble on the left says "is framing this bag and hangin it on the wall reusing or recycling?"
pure chance.
anyway, i didn't even get this bag at trader joes, so it was multi-reused. I went browsing yesterday with a friend in a second hand shop and this was the bag i got my stuff in :)
I bought two books- actually one book and one a POP magazine from 1999 which i was so excited about, and a necklace which i already fixed for my better liking. All in all- a very good stache.
This was the magazine that i bought yesterday at my new favourite store- the Brown Elephant which is a second hand, charity organization store for some kind of medical center. I love the browsing and the treasures that you find at the best price, i always leave with just a few articles that i really love and get excited about!
This is the magazine i bought yesterday, kinda shyly because of the cover. Actually, i couldn't care less because its art and i've even drawn nude models before, so its very common. I just hoped the person at the cashier wouldn't ask questions....
Anyway, i found a big article on Andy Warhal, one of my favourite artists, about interviews that he took with people. Its really funny and interesting and there are a lot of old photo shoots which i love! they're incredibly pretty and in 10 years time this magazine will be properly vintage~ its from the last century!!
Anyway, here are some of the Andy Warhol pictures, hope you enjoy:
I just came back from watching the 25th anniversary edition of the musical Les Miserable.
Words cant express how amazing it was, probably the best musical i've ever seen and one of the best produced movies i've seen for a long time.
The music and the costumes were incredible, everything was so accurate and the cast was amazing- all the best characters. I was sobbing for the last half hour of the movie and crying for at least 10 minutes after that. I was fighting hard to suppress myself- there were a few extremely wrenching with the last battle taking place between the revolutionaries and the French army.
The plot itself by Victor Hugo was beyond words- its rather complicated because the characters are interwoven with each other and there are many different plots but it all makes sense and comes together to a genius story. Its touching and sensitive, the story of a man Jean Valjean who embarks on a journey to become a better man.
After I came out of the theatre i was still sobbing and half laughing, I just couldn't control myself. It was slightly awkward because everybody could see but I just decided not to care. it was funny because half of the people exiting where red eyed and sniffling. Naturally the women's bathroom was packed of women redoing their mascara. I came wearing eye-liner and mascara and by the end of the movie all of that was gone.
I came away with plenty of thought, and some new favourite soundtracks. I was also really interested in the behind the scenes, especially with the parade of the revolutionary rebels Their battle and death was one of the most amazing scenes i've ever seen and afterwards when Marius returns to the house and sings "empty chairs with empty tables" i just couldn't control myself.
I am seriously contemplating seeing it again.
Also, i didn't believe it would be the case but the theatre was full, even after a couple of weeks that the movies released. We arrived just before the start of the movie and Maddie and I didn't even have seats. None. We were sitting crouched on the stairs for the first fifteen minutes before we went to sit in the reserved wheelchair seats.
