"For some reason, I am moved by the female form, as seen from the side, or diagonally from behind. Like a feeling of waiting to chase after and restrain something that passes by, or passes through. You could call it a feeling of “missing” something. A lingering scent is the same. A kind of feeling of longing for something. There is always an adoration for women in me which resembles the temptation I have for things that have passed me by. And so I can only see a woman as someone who passes by, a person who disappears. Therefore the “Back” is important to me. I think clothes should be made from the back, and not the front. The back supports the clothes, and so if it is not properly made, the front cannot exist."
The wind on Crow Hill was her darling. His fierce, high tide in her ear was her secret. But his kiss was fatal. Through her dark Paradise ran The stream she loved too well That bit her breast. The shaggy sodden king of that kingdom Followed through the wall And lay on her love-sick bed. The curlew trod in her womb. The stone swelled under her heart. Her death is a baby-cry on the moor.
- Ted Hughes 'Elmet' (1979)
The more I read this, over and over again, the more beautiful it becomes.

PROBABLY THE MOST PERFECT FRUMPY/GRANDMA PRESENTATION I'VE EVER SEEN. Does this make me look fat? WHO GIVES A FUCK?
Too bad I can't really pull it off .. cos I'm hobbit sized and shit. Also that sock/shoe combination isn't really groundbreaking or anything BUT FOR SOME REASON IT'S PERFECT. I KIND OF NEED A SHOE LIKE THAT.
Even though you can barely see it ... love for my friend Rhian for the insight bodysuit. Leopard gets 50pts from me. Also really into minimal jewelry, these two chains which i ripped the charms from have become a staple. On top of that, I need more excuses to wear my litas out!
