"It was a while on the road that I realized something that seemed very important to me. I realized that I had spent most of my life as a slave to something. I grew up as an emotional slave to the rotten kids in school, to my parents' bitter fights. then, after derek came along, I became a slave to something else: I became a slave to my own hatred and rage. It was on the road with the runaways that I came to the conclusion that all of that was finally behind me. I was free to do whatever I wanted. I would never be a slave to anything again."

pacific - standby




this new band pacific sounds like vampire weekend + the strokes made a baby + I'm into it

currently channeling: reality bites



my biggest style inspiration at the moment is winona ryder in reality bites 

her look is effortless + very minimal- a combination that I find ROCKIN + hard to pull off. 

I especially like scenes where she wears no makeup paired with red lipstick

some of my earliest childhood memories are going to bed listening to tapes of maurice sendak's stories. I like to believe these tapes filled my dreams.

photos shot by brad elterman


the  bio from his website encompasses his photos perfectly: 


"from the platinum tinted shag hairdos of teenage glam rockers to the bare breasted shenanigans of coked-up southern california party girls, this is a pre-AIDS and pre-rehab world, where the sun never sets and the party never ends."


[my favorite part about his website is the little blurbs he wrote for each photo]
