A late goodbye to Peaches

A few years back, I posted some gorgeous wedding photos of Peaches Geldof. She looked so happy and beautiful. I was so sad to hear of her death of a heroin overdose a few months ago. 

'A used syringe was in a sweet box next to her body and a pair of knotted tights had apparently been used as a tourniquet'

'Conditions of doing as she would with her 'pleasuring' ting a ting a written oath not die': 

I solemnly swear I am not going to die

Rest peacefully Peaches

Madison Montgomery Style Bible

So American Horror Story: Coven was disappointing. It opened with an engaging premise, however it quickly fizzled out when the plots developed into superficial soap opera-horror for shock value. The show just never really fleshed out any solid story lines, just shallow blood and gore, with nothing actually chilling enough to cut through campy lines such as 'I'm the next supreme!' for an entire season.

I guess I should've expected this from Ryan Murphy. (Don't even get me started on the weak writing of Nip/Tuck.)

What made the show worth watching was excellent casting, and a slick and beautiful style from both the set design team and wardrobe. Despite my issues with some of the cliches of her character, some of Madison Montgomery's scenes were on point, and her wardrobe was worthy of worship.

Madison's luxe style heavily depends on a variation of textures. Modern faux fur, leather, sequins, brocade and lace. If you combine strong statement clothing a outfit can easily look gaudy or over-the-top, so the subtlety of layering these textures was genius.

Her wardrobe featured dark, moody colours: blood red, maroons, plum, gold and lots of black. Dress like you've reluctantly attended a funeral, but you're still trying to seduce the widowed millonaire.

Her wardrobe stables: A-line skirts, gold chandelier earrings, knee high socks, faux fur jackets and headbands. 

However when it's time to dress up, bandaged figure hugging body-con dresses are a must.

If you're interested in buying any of her clothes, shopyourtv.com compiled a catalogue here.

I just want to see you split in a million fragments

Not that anyone actually reads this blog, but I'm sorry for the hiatus. I'm just super depressed and dont feel like leaving bed much. On the subject of which, amazing comic hyperbole and a half did a brilliant piece on.

But here, admire these incredible kaleidoscope glasses by Hole.

Procrastinating that assignment due by looking at things I 'need'.

Lucite Beetle Jewellery.. (link)

So is it obvious I'm in love with beetle taxidermy jewelry? Also do I feel bad about these beetles? I mean it's pretty much a smaller scale version of wearing fur which I really don't agree with. And I always am on about how 'I could never wear fur because I couldn't justify hurting something for my own vanity'…

Apparently all I needed was the luminosity of shiny wings to second guess my moral judgement. oops.

Shitty day.
But here's Peaches Geldof looking gorgeous at her wedding, in her Alberta Ferretti dress.

I love the mismatched floral arrangements in the bouquets, and the daisy hair wreaths. The wedding looked a little like Kate Moss's, but maybe because it similiarly had a sort of 70's vintage vibe.

You'd look nice, in a grave.

Nothing is better than the discovery that your new favourite band has Ryan Gosling as a member. Time to celebrate with some macabre decor I can't afford! (help me, I'm poor.)

also on a personal note:

- was surprised that the guy I slept with and passed out practically on about a month ago said hi to me last night. what can I say, I take my small victories when I can get them.

- became bffs with the snuggly black pug at the party who made this gorgeous purring sound. carried him/her around the party.

-I feel like crying and drowning in the bathtub. Just really teary and sad at the moment. :'(

but it's all peachy ♥

cascading downfall of eating habits

I think I have something resembling bulimia.

What a luxury it must be for the decision to eat be barely a conscious one, a distant afterthought incapable of rendering any emotional arousal.

Life tips inspired by Alice de Janze (1899-1944)

"The whistle of London Express blew, and I realized that he was going away from Paris - and from me forever - I suddenly changed my mind and resolved to take him away with me into the Great Beyond. Slowly - very slowly - I loosened my grip around his neck, placed the revolver between our two bodies, and, as the train started, fired twice - into his chest and my own body."

1. Style is about your weapon of choice looking divine
On the 25th of March, 1927, Alice went shopping with her lover, Raymond de Trafford. Alice bought a gold-mounted, pearl handled revolver.

Trafford was unable to marry her because his family disapproved and were threatening to cut him off, and Alice was so distraught by this; when parting from him at the train station later that day, she shot him once in the stomach, and then turned the gun on herself.

2. Be bewitchingly lovely
If you attempt to dramatically murder your lover at the train station and both survive, this will really help your odds of a quick acquittal at the trial. Instead of your lover feeling bitter about that bullet to the lung, he will instead feel immense guilt for causing you emotional disturbance, and will say it was all an accident.
The whole event will be rather cheap; Your penalty will be 100 francs - four dollars.

3. Being cheerful is overrated
One story tells of Alice opening the shutters of her house in Kenya one morning, and remarking, "Oh God. Not another fucking beautiful day". Take that Disney princesses.

4. Own a panther

5. Any excuse to party will do
When Alice later killed herself, two days after her 42nd birthday, using the same gun she had used in 1927, she asked her friends to hold a cocktail party on her grave.
