Francisco Lachowski

I just want to go to NYC, bump into him and seduce him with my broken-ass Portuguese, and convince him to take me back to Brazil to go surfing with him in his hometown of Curitiba.




.
This is so inappropriate because I think he is only 18, but he is so nice to look at, IDK.

GOTDAMN

What a GQ motherfucker.

Okay, so I'm pretty close to embarassing myself here.

Let's make one thing clear: I am not the fangirl type.

I do not fangirl anyone or anything. I just don't have the emotional depth to be able to care so incredibly deeply about things that do not have to do with greater global issues like inequality, repression, and political freedom.

HOWEVER, I am dangerously close to crossing the fangirl line for Jon Kortajarena.

This is like the 3rd picture post I've had on him in like a month.

He's probably the only "celebrity" that if I were to see in real life, I would squeal and act like an otherwise mess over. Like, the throw my panties at him kind of mess.

So. fucking. sad.

I CANNOT HELP IT. He is perfection.

CARLOS

Jon Kortajarena

I mean, I know Colin Firth's character was suffering from heartbreak and loss, but I would NOT say no to this beautiful man. Like, I am ACTUALLY still mad at him for turning him down.

Yes, I know it wasn't real.

BUT HELLO, HE IS PERFECT.

HE HAS A SPANISH ACCENT.

Better than James Dean.

true beauty, magnificent, gorgeous, stunning etc

Do you really exist? Is this real life? Can we be friends? I will lend you my awesome sweaters. We could have sweater swaps, witty banter, and draw strange critters.
Are you really this awesome?

WOULD HIT

WOULD HIT SO HARD

TWO THINGS

1. Alison Mosshart makes me weak in the knees, she is such a babe in so many ways. (Have you ever seen her perform live? It's amazing.. I almost died watching The Kills.)

2. Hedi Slimane not only is an amazing designer, but he also takes some super amazing photographs some of which also make my insides quiver.

POINT?
Okay so on my occasional perusal of Hedi Slimane's diary for photographic inspiration I find THIS:

I ALMOST CANNOT HANDLE IT.

Seriously if I can be HALF the photographer Hedi Slimane is.... I don't know, I'd be amazing. Or even like HALF as cool as Alison...

Cascade House

The Cascade house is located in the Forest Hill neighbourhood in Toronto and was designed by the Paul Raff Studio.

Who wants to be creepy and cruise by this house with me? It's so pretty!

Chanel

I've been dying all day waiting for images from Chanel to show up on style.com.
That being said.. Chanel was... very Chanel. So kudos to Lagerfeld for keeping it that way.
I'm not too big of a fan of any of the looks. They seemed kind of lolita-esque, which kind of creeps me out.
BUT, let me tell you how much I love the looks that were on Freja and Baptiste, and how they came out together (especially the last image!).

Freja is SUCH a babe. I have such a girl crush on her.

Joseph Gordon Levitt

Hey, remember when I used to hardcore crush on you when you were that weird alien kid on Third Rock from the Sun?

Yeah, it's still there.

BACK TO ESSAYING.

SPRING FEVER

augh, Devendra, get in my pants now.

The Kills

I've seen these two in real life.

jsyk

Where the Wild Things Are

Do you guys remember this book?



Well they made a movie out of it.

and it kind of looks amazing.

(Why, yes, that is Arcade Fire playing in the trailer...)

get born

i have only been up for 7 hours, and i'm ready to go back to bed.
my head hurts, my body aches and i'm scared that this is all a result of some super rebellious behaviour yesterday.


there are some conversations that i need to have with some people... i just don't know how to start. mostly i just run away. i'm sorry.

Mykonos - fleet foxes

WHY ARE YOU SO COOL, FLEET FOXES?

between the white winter hymnal video and this one, i can be kept entertained all day.

I am applying to the ones that are bolded.
I probably will not be able to get letters of reference in time for my interview (if, I even pass the first round of selection... but I'm banking that I should. I did last year, and I'm basically handing the exact same application and cover letter in with a few additions..) but maybe maybe maybe they'll be lenient because of the strike.

If not, I still have the opportunity to go to Washington for 3 months during the summer and work at the IDB.

NOW IF I COULD ONLY GET A JOB...

boners

Okay, to make it clear, I did not say I was a fan of any of the music in my last post. I just said that it was interesting and not to knock it till you've tried it.

So now, moving on to things that I DO like....

Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal

This song is perfect for this time of year, and after obsessing over their take away show (un concert a emporter) and ensuing musical boners, I found the official music video for it, and visual boners began accompanying the aural.

I CANNOT STOP WATCHING/LISTENING TO THIS.

alahlfhdhdkjghlfhgkghf. so amazing.

Speaking of animation...

CORALINE!

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE TO COME OUT.

I will watch it. It will be in 3D, and my mind will be blown.

For additional bonerage, go to http://www.coraline.com/ - you can spend HOURS on there. (Trust me..)

and continuing on with the theme of movies (and boners):

500 Days of Summer

I AM ALSO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE TO COME OUT.

Joseph Gordon Levitt + Zooey Deschanel together?

PERMABONER.

Okay, is it just me, or is the voice over completely WRONG for this movie?

The voiceover and the title being repeated 500 billion times gives me hope that this movie will not be as cliched as it looks like it's going to be. It makes me think that there will be a couple of really awkward/strange twists thrown in.

I hope it is not another Across the Universe - which, while bonerific with music and Jude and colours and all that wonderful stuff, lacked a plotline.
