Welcome to the island of misfit toys


Lucy McRae // fashion meets new technology // human hybrid
Sophia Ajram (photograper) // ice and fire // illusions
Virgin suicides // youth // death // obsession
THE HUMAN CONDITION
Bruno Dayan photography // forboding grandeur
Imagine Dragons // levitation
Beautiful skeleton
Marie Antoinette // young, beautiful and damned
Unif ss12 fashion, meh, but I liked the image // how things look from the outside opposed to how they actually are inside 
Chris little photography
Rose Sanderson // nature and decay // fading grandeur
The universe


"5 minute page" I thought this would be a formal presentation but I've found out it's an email hand-in so just to summarise; this is a board of imagery relevant to what currently inspires me, followed by some trigger words to aid further explanation. I like that there's a colour theme emerging; it feels quite soft and feminine but with an ever present darkness looming. I like that. Even if it's cliche or pretentious, I like it.
There's also a reccurent theme of something fading; perhaps descending from life to death, or simply the anxiety of growing up - experiencing the loss of things like innocence and belief in the extraordinary. It's something quite sad and personal, but at the same time it can be so beautiful.  I don't want any one to see this blog anymore, it feels too personal. I don't like university, I feel stiffled, like I'm under seige by my own psychosys. No one else can see, but that doesn't mean it's not real.
