Stupid Photos taken on my iPod touch

Well I haven't blogged in over a month, partially due to business with finals and partially due to theatre, but mostly due to sheer laziness. I apologize for that. Well here I am again, and completely lacking in the "stuff to talk about" section. So to get back into blogging I'm going to begin a new column, by the name of "Stupid photos taken on my iPod touch" (because I received a touch for Christmas and have taken many stupid photos with it). This column will feature any stupid photos I have taken with my iPod, and will be used when I have absolutely nothing else to discuss. So here it is, the first ever feature:

And I got a tumblr y'aaalll!!! Come check me out: http://kasumisplanet.tumblr.com/

Adios muchachos.

The Weather Outside is Frightful

There's something about winter that always manages to break my creative shield and flip on the "fashion laziness" switch at the center of my brain. Until I have a collection of gem sweaters that measures up next to Leslie Hall's, I just don't know if I'll be able to post outfits on a regular basis (I suppose this year AP World History had a big hand in flipping that switch too). Maybe Christmas will stock me up again and keep me inspired! Until then, though, I'll keep you entertained with fun things about my actual life outside of fashion (except my life is BORING. BLAAAAH). Well if you haven't gathered it from the title, it's getting cold up here. Last winter didn't end til, oh, May? Yep. Welcome to the Land of 10,000 Lakes, my friends, where the lakes are frozen over more often than not. I got up reeeeaaaally early this morning too, because I'm a nerd and wanted to see the partial lunar eclipse (once again, just partial because I live in the great American ice cap). Anywho, now I'm awake, and, in my humble opinion, long overdue for a blog post. My friends and I made the courageous (and perhaps controversial) decision to actually make an effort to ENJOY the snow this year, opposed to sitting inside complaining about it as with year's past. Here's a photoshoot from our first night in Winter Wonderland! Luckily, Maddie has this awesome waterproof digital camera. Raymond and Aleah walked all the way to my house while the snow was still coming down, and since they're both not an inch over 5 feet, I made the decision that they looked like Christmas elves when they walked up to my door :D

Also, if you're familiar with B-movie horror (I consider myself an expert on the subject at this point), I'm sure you'd be familiar with the movie Frozen. Seeing as it was pretty frozen up in this joint as well, we decided to remake the movie! Unfortunately we didn't have access to a chairlift, but we made do



On another note, I'm entering the Fashion Turd's birthday giveaway, so here's my link to the post: Birthday Giveaway Post

Also, I got PLANT #2 in the mail yesterday and I absolutely devoured it! Thanks Isabel!

Out.

The greatest crazies are the ones around you

Yesterday, I finally got downtown to check out an art exhibit I've been wanting to see since I read about it in the local newspaper: the St. Paul College of Visual Arts was displaying a compilation of the works of Minnesota women in the field of graphic design and advertising. Being a female arteest myself, I simply had to go take a peak. Unfortunately, the exhibit ended yesterday, or I would urge all you locals to go have a look. But here are some pictures, almost as good as the real thing!


The pictures took about two hours to upload, hopefully they were worth it.

Now time to tackle my miserably complex French homework.

Also, after all this hype about the Hunger Games I've finally decided to check out the series for myself.

I have book ADD though. So we'll see how it goes.



A Teenager's Bedroom Is Like a Cave Built out of Sheer Dreams

I've always had a fascination with where people live. Especially artsy and creative people like those depicted in this post. I think teen bedrooms are the most interesting, because they contain everything the person owns crammed into a small space and arranged in a way that displays their personality, not neccessarily in a way that pleases people. Of course, not all of these pictures are teen bedrooms like the title may fool you into thinking (I made up that quote just for future reference. It's Charlie with an I-E), in fact at least half of them are from a website called The Selby, which is the work of a man called Todd Selby who scours the world for creative folk and goes into their houses to photograph their dwellings. I read about him in one of my mom's photography magazines about a year ago and have been following his website ever since. These pictures are a compilation of some of my favorite bedrooms/houses that I've collected and have inspired countless projects in my own room. Hope you enjoyed, and maybe you'll be inspired to do something a little more creative with the space you have.

Photo credits go to The Selby and Teenage Bedroom

And just for shits and giggles, I had to include a picture of Juno in her room, which is the classic creative teen dwelling:
