Marina and Ulay
I've seen Marina Abramovic's work before (and it's truly lovely and absolutely fascinating). I'm not a fan of performance art, usually. I just never thought a lot of what is labeled "performance art" is actually art, just someone trying to be all "deep" and "meaningful". But Abramovic's art was different; it's emotional, raw, exposing. It's art in the sense of humans and our actions. Her piece 72 Objects was what first caught my eye. In 1974, Marina Abramovic stood in a room for 6 hours passively with a table that had 72 items on it. Some of the items could cause pain, others pleasure....

David Sedaris: Books, Art and Weird Collections
I love David Sedaris. Like love love him. For those of you who don't know much/anything about this amazing man; David Sedaris is an author who has written numerous books, most of them are about his odd experiences while others are extremely dark and funny fiction. His works include Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family In Corduroy and Denim, Naked, Barrel Fever, Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk, Holidays on Ice, and Lets Talk About Diabetes with Owls. He also tells his stories on NPR's "This American Life" and has concerts where he reads out his journals and stories.

Getting Over You (and Me)
This past year, from the beginning of January, I have been trying to get over this guy.
First let me make it clear that we never were going out. Nor did we have any romantic relationship. But I loved him. Really, I did. And I'd been happy pining away, imagining things up until my friend called me and told me he got a girlfriend. I was devastated is putting it nicely. I went from hysterically laughing to sobbing to screaming to sobbing and laughing and repeated this all night. I called my friends and sobbed, lay on the couch and sobbed. Sobbed and sobbed. It was horrible. I'd never...

October Rad Things
So I love October and sharing and acting like people actually want my advice so for this month, OCTOBERRRRR, I'm going to make a few lists of things I'm obsessed with at the moment because I'm obsessed with lots of things and because I love lists.
STYLE/CLOTHING
I wouldn't call myself a super duper crazy dresser, I like sticking with classics. But I do LOVE certain accessories/shoes/stuff like that. Usually I just stare at things and drool.
Lately I've really been loving sort of simple things that have very odd details when you really really look at their detail.
I swear, that collection of stuff...

Bling Ring; America's Obsession with Bad Behavior
Sofia Coppala's new movie "Bling Ring" is out now, and right when I saw the ad I decided that I wanted to see it. So, I did and it was kind of disappointing. I thought that she missed a lot of great opportunities to talk about a very interesting topic; Americans obsession with bad behavior. She glimpsed over this theme slightly but not enough, and in my opinion, this theme is what the whole movie should have been about.
Amanda Bynes, Lindsay Lohen, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton. These are all celebrities who America pays (or at least paid) tons of attention to for bad behavior. DUIs,...

Mother, Daughter and in the Spirit of Holy Women
The news these past few days has been FULL of amazing women. I don't think I can truly describe the sentimental love and pride I feel for women who are involved and are willing to stand up for not only their rights, but my rights, your rights and every other women; young, old, middle-aged, rights. The women who have been out and about and whom you have most likely heard about or read about at this moment are Senator Wendy Davis and Senator Leticia Van de Putte.
In the past 24 hours, these women have truly inspired me. I did not know who either of them were until yesterday while I was skimming...

Trending Interent Topics: Sexism and Rape Culture (trigger warning yo) (Part 1)
So like lots of teenage girls, I'm online a lot. Tumblr is my go-to website *click here if you want to check it out* and I follow lot's of blogs that are very vocal about feminism, equal rights, basically everything I believe in. One of my favorites is sexistfacebookdudes, which calls out social networking accounts that are either a threat to women or making offensive comments towards us as a whole.
To be 100% truthful with ya'll, I knew some stuff about feminism and I identified as a feminist but I hadn't even known about some of the CRAZY bull that is online. One of the things I saw was a website called creepshots (BEFORE OPENING WARNING: NSFW, TW: RAPE, NONCONSENT), a blog that posts pictures of unknowing women and...

Tobias You Blowhard!
To Celebrate Season Four of "Arrested Development" being released, Tobias Fünke, analrapist/actor, came and answered some burning questions for us with his knowledge of love, life and fame.
Dear Tobias,
I just finished my first year of college and have gained much more then my "Freshman fifteen", it's more like my Freshman Fifty. I'm not used to my new body and I've been pretty self conscious about my looks since the middle of last semester. I really want to boost my self confidence (I don't really want my self confidence to be based off of my looks though). What are some ways for me to gain my confidence back...

Views on Mental Illness; How Can Our Outlook Change?
Imagine if every physical illness; a cold, the flu, cancer etc. , was portrayed in the same light as mental illness. This has been a trending topic and idea, which is probably a good thing in my opinion. America doesn't look too kindly upon individuals with mental illnesses; big or small which is an issue since, according too census', 40 million American adults suffer from a form of anxiety, 3.3 million Americans suffer from mild depression and 15 million adults have social phobia. That's A LOT of Americans, and that's not even all of the mental disabilities that can plague a person's life. To check out the rest of...

Techie Girl; why the internets rad
I love the internet and my phone like so much. I know that theres lots of research saying that this generation (our generation I guess) is alienated by technology; that because of the distraction we don't have the best social skills. Yeah, I can be socially awkward but I'm pretty sure thats cause I'm kinda kooky, and guess what? The interweb has introduced me to people that I have stuff in common with, AND it's given me funny cat videos and has taught me how to do cool stuff with my hair.
But I get the research, and it's definetly accurate. I look at my five year old cousin who's obsessed with like iPads and Zombie games, and he has a hard time being away from that stuff but for teens I think the internet is extremley helpful, and not just with school...

Girl Crush: Jemima Kirke
I strive to be like Jemima Kirke; she's creative. talented and beautiful. Her character Jessa in the show Girls (which Lena Dunham created) is this like bohemian godess - one part amazing and one half scary. I want to be her and I'm at the same time afraid of her. Kirke plays a self confident woman as an actress, and is just, if not more, confident in her real life. Personally, I find this so inspirational.
You know how lots of women cover up their bodies when their pregnant? Jemima Kirke went in the other direction, just look at these pictures she took while she was way into her pregnancy.

*sigh*
You know those days where you're just sad.
Yeah, I'm having one of those days.
For me, I know that when I'm in bad place emotionally my body starts to feel just as bad. So today, by second period (like 10:00) my stomach hurt, I felt terrible and I was dizzy. I ended up going home and now I've been thinking, how can someone make a day like this better?
So, here's a post on how to maybe look on the sorta-kinda-maybe-brighter side of a problem.
1) Make a Pros and Cons list: I don't usually think pros and cons lists work, but sometimes writing down what's getting to you and then writing down the good stuff in you life helps. Like today, in my journal (I keep one daily btw it's pretty cool actually) I made a pros and cons list. In my mind I had so many things that sucked...

Sometimes it's OK not to be OK.
There's a cheezy saying I'm sure you've heard; Nobodys perfect. When your grandma says it to you when you complain about your thighs or whatever, it sounds stupid and kinda like an excuse for stuff. But really, it's true nobody is perfect.
Everyone has their problems, some are huge some are small but all of them are real. You know those day when you just can't get anything right? Sometimes those days become weeks, then years. And that's okay. It's okay that you just aren't too good at math or that you can't draw a skull or even that you can't be happy. It's okay to feel sad about how your life is at the moment and it's okay to be angry that you didn't get what you want.
Through experience, I know that it's scary to look at life and take it...
fashionaid: Penny Lane
OK guys let's jump right into the topic.
Almost Famous is an awesome movie. I liked it the moment the movie began and loved it by the time it was over. The whole movie is just a whole type of awesome.
I mean come on, it has good music, a lovable underdog, a coming of age story, and my favorite part, Penny Lane. Kate Hudson plays the unbelievably cool bandaid. She hates being called a roadie, no way, she actually helps the band, she's not just some girl who follows those superstars. She's so eccentric and easy breezy, ugh and her clothes. Let me tell you, her clothes are A M A Z I N G.
She's...

Raised on Arizona
Howdy! I'm sick (again) today, and as I was lying in bed, I began thinking about my numerous travels through Arizona and the desert. My dad lives in New Mexico, on a navajo reservation where he teaches literature. I've never been to that reservation, but I've spent many hot summer day driving through the desert in an un-airconditioned van. The trip from LA to New Mexico take about two days, and I've slept in national forests, in VW vans and in Motel Sixes. I partially hated the trip because it burning hot and dry, but another part of me loved it. The desert is so gorgeous in such odd ways. It's...
