"Y ella es flama que se eleva
Y es un pájaro a volar
Y es un pájaro a volar
En la noche que se incendia,
El infierno es este cielo
Estrella de oscuridad
Heart running on empty
So lost without you"
Burn It Blue. Frida.

It snowed today. Snow and rain make me feel free. Like the sky is releasing any tension and just pouring it all out. During study hall I took pictures with my friends in the brick and ivy atrium, and sipped apple cider. But as soon as I got back into class with teachers reminding us to look at the board, not the snow I returned to the dull reality of work. It just goes on an on in a circle and I can't rest. I feel like I'm wasting my time.
By the way if you haven't seen Frida with Salma Hayek you should. It's so passionate. The paintings melt into the movie scenes and I wish life could be like that. With everyone stopping for a moment to glance around at each other and marvel or cry.
She really was an amazing person. And her paintings are tantalizing. You want to know what she was thinking when she painted each blood stain, each frill of lace, each bit of bed.

Thank you for checking on me, I've been a bit sick, but things are going better.
Oh Frida was such an amazing painter.
Her paintings show her anger and suffering as some social matters.

I was about to do my Spanish project on Frida Khalo last week, but I had to choose Picasso instead. Anyways, I love your floral docs and those tights are amazing.
I'm jealous you have snow!
woah, it snowed? thats crazy! where i live it was just raining and VERY cold
Ahhh, I love this film so much! It's wonderful!
The fact that the paintings all blended in to it was my favourite part as well, I think Salma Hayek portrayed her brilliantly as well! Ah, it's so good to finally find someone who's seen it, everyone I ask has never heard of it!
ur Spanish is improving. You even write poetry :)
I came across your blog through style rookie.
I just wanted to tell you that your photography is absolutely fabulous. You take better photos than some of the photography majors at my university. Be sure to hang onto all your digital files for future inspiration. More importantly, never stop! You have a talent.
your docs and tights are mesmerizing
the artwork looks amazing
lucky lucky lucky - it snowed for you. I havent seen snow fall in about 5 years. Those Doc Martins are MARVELOUS. Almost anything that's floral is amazing.
i really love that photograph!
and your little note on the comment box, about eating chocolate instead of writing a hate comment, just made me giggle. :)

oh, i adore your boots!!
and SNOW?! you are so lucky! i want it to snow tonight so badly...
where do you live?
I agree about Frida, there is something so mysterious and gripping about her work. I have some badges with her paintings on them, they are so callus and yet somehow peaceful.
I love you doc martens. don't let the work get you down
I love the first photo, the different colors and textures are beautiful together.
Life moves in circles but at least there moments like the first snowfall to break the habit a little right? :)
Oh, i wish it would snow here!
And i agree about Frida Kahlo, she was truly inspirational. Her paintings always make me feel agitated, as if i have to run around and do the things she couldn't.
I still love the floral docs. More, even.

Hhhhaaa so amazing and tortured Frida. So strong and so fragil, so proud and broken heart....

sometimes classes leave me feeling a little empty inside. then again, some classes make me feel alive.
