december was such an innocent time.
avril lavigne’s new video has some great crying in it
i really needed a visual interlude. all of avril’s pouting in the mirror and for herself is sort of like my life, without the part where i’m reading. (although i made a pact to do my dissertation in bequeathed daytime pajamas.) i had this huge mirror in my office at teen vogue and whenever i’d get bored (always) i’d close the door and play with all of the makeup on my desk and look at myself; i guess that was actually part of my job. i don’t wear mascara, i get my lashes tinted, but i feel really compelled by how much drama avril squeezes out of a single makeup product.
I’ve literally been working on a manifesto about this very thing today (which I know you all know), you’re always so helpful. Extra relevant: now that my feminist archiving photoseries is over (might make it into a book with writing/theory please tell me if you’re into that, I might redo it with real photos), all queued up for tomorrow is FEELINGS ABOUT FEMINIST CRYING/MASCARA PERFORMANCE/MOSTLY I JUST SPENT THE LAST SIX HOURS THINKING/WRITING ABOUT AMY WINEHOUSE TEARS BECAUSE DUH.
Also, YOU GET YOUR LASHES TINTED? WHAT? How do you perform public hysterics without mascara, tho?
no, i know, i guess this is today’s confession, made in the chris kraus-ian, possibly penitent, oprah sense. BUT HOW AM I GOING TO KNOW WHICH MASCARA TO USE WHEN I DON’T GET 20 FREE ONES SENT TO ME A DAY TO TRY ANYMORE? 100% yes to the feminist archiving photoseries i could not be more supportive.

can’t decide if it would be ~feminist oversharing~ or just plain oversharing to post pictures of my canker sores. (considering it ~feminist oversharing~ maybe because i associate them with my menstrual cycle and this month i am all about tmi re: menstruation) i have two right now right on top of each other and i took a picture and i think it’s real cool but also it’s like my mouth sores? pretty sure this is inappropriate internet behavior. i will show you them if you want to see them. do you want to see them?
ps. yes
ps. to hell with it
