preoccupation with mortality

can a girl be in love with a boot?
yes, yes she can. why am i posting this/willingly admitting i can be made happy by a material item?? i must be slizzard.

while i should be more than content with the local apple selection this time of year, all i really ever want is a jazz apple. but, like bret and jermaine, they're from new zealand.

pale blonde hair turns white instead of grey. awesome. especially when it's a long flowing mane. for reasons, a lot of women believe as they age, they need to get these short haircuts. this very nice lady with an ivory luscious headpiece gave me an Egon Schiele book today. it is truly great. while that dude's name makes me think of dark naked twisty bodies, the one i want to share is of sunflowers (dying, of course, lol).

i have van gogh's up on my wall -


and we've all seen this one.... -


Vincent went and inspired another favorite of mine, Klimt -


and then Egon was totally feelin' Gustav -


^ quality & colors are off :( , but...

"For all three artists, the sun and its earthly counterpart, the sunflower, were embodiments of the life force. Nonetheless, unlike the sun, the sunflower is mortal, and for Schiele it was tinged with the indelible mark of imminent decay. Flowering in the last warm days between summer and autumn, the sunflower blooms to die and bequeath the world its seeds. That Schiele's sunflowers are past their peak bloom is amply evidenced by their darkened centers and droopy leaves. This was the ideal motif for an artists who had coined the maxim, 'Everything is living dead.' " ~ Jane Kallir
