Truth number 1: Cowgirls have more fun.

"The wall is high, the black barn,

The babe in my arms in her swaddling clothes

And I know soon that the sky will split

And the planets will shift,

Balls of jade will drop and existence will stop.

Little sister, the sky is falling, I don't mind, I don't mind.

Little sister, the fates are calling on you...

Your soul was like a network of spittle,

Like glass balls movin' in like cold streams of logic,

And I prayed as the lightning attacked

That something will make it go crack, something will make it go crack,

Something will make it go crack, something will make it go crack." 

 -Patti Smith, "Kimberly"

There are so many ways to seize the day. A tailored jacket, scrunched-up socks, slouchy sweats, and business man oxfords act as armor. Accessorize with spectacles, coffee to-go, cigarette, and hardcover. Party-time balloons and moments reserved for frolicking on city streets add shots of whimsy. - "Urban Outfitter," Elle Italia, April 2010, Caroline Winberg, shot by David Burton. 

Light and air/Life is a waking dream. In between consciousness and slumber, like slowly slinking into water. Sometimes you choose to get lost. - Jason Lee Parry photographs/Tara Vasev by Tommy Ton/192 Magazine/"Shrink to Fit," Vogue Italia, April 2010, shot by Steven Meisel/"Bijoux," Vogue Paris, Magdalena Frackowiak, shot by Claudia Knoepfel and Stefan Indlekofer/Nirrimi Hakanson photograph/"A Life Less Ordinary," Vogue UK, May 2010, Dorothea Barth-Jorgensen, shot by Paolo Roversi/ilovewildfox.com
