HOW ROOKIE MAG CHANGED MY LIFE

I decided to write another post I been dying to write about. As you may have read the title above for this post. I wanted to dedicate a post to the publication that changed my life

ROOKIE!!! 

From the moment Tavi mention that she was going to create a magazine for young girls and all of us with creative minds. I jumped with joy and was excited to what she had in store for us. As you may know that ROOKIE  is about to turn two years old this year and I wanted to share with you all there new cover for there yearbook two ( I was in tears when I saw this):

As it mentions on the cover there will be lots of contributions from our favorite stars. From Lena Dunham ( love her!!!!) to one of my all time favorite authors Judy Blume (obsessed!!!!!!!!!!).

Can't wait for this and much more from ROOKIE..... But I also wanted to look back and link some of my favorite articles from ROOKIE as well as Tavi Gevinson very own stylerookie blog. In which I would like to post a brief a letter to Tavi:


dear Tavi,

i wanted to reach out to you about you absence in your blog lately. I understand that you are busyier then ever, these past months since the launch of ROOKIEMAG. But I really hope that you find time for your readers in your other site STYLE ROOKIE. For we all as well as myself, really miss your writing and your inspirations posts. i also wanted to thank you for creating such wonderful sites. from your blog to ROOKIE MAG. I am happy to say thank god I was born during this time. I always use to mention when people would ask me:

If you could travel in time what decade or time in history would I like to be have been part of???

As usual I would say " I wish I was born back in the 80's or early 70's. Or maybe even the 20's.......

But I guess that even thought I wish I could visit that time and maybe be born that decade. One thing for sure I'm glad I was born in the 21st century........
thanks again Tavi and may you continue to create such awesome posts and articles for us all : D

your friend

WHEN YOU GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO BUT STARE AT ART PAINTINGS ON A SATURDAY MOURNING

I don't have much to say today. So I'm going to make this short ( I don't know let's see how much I write in today's post) I been doing allot sketching this past week, since I haven't been feeling so well. I have the cold and my nose and throat have been annoying me lately. I been looking at some of my old sketchbooks I have in one the boxes under my bed. As well as some old notebooks with class notes from when I was taking History of Western Art. I couldn't stop reading all the notes I took as well as the doodles I did in the corner of my notebooks. It's kind of awesome to look back in what you wrote. I wish I still had my notebooks of when I was in 3rd or 5th grade. Too bad my mother threw them out when we moved.

Anyway I wanted to share with you all some paintings I fell in love with that as well as a video from the Pride & Prejudice soundtrack in which...

I hope goes with the style of these paintings.............

THE LADIES FROM THE 80'S

Like I mention in my previous posts. Lately I been obsessed with the 80's. And wanted to share with you some collages I created from the ladies of the 80's......

So who are the ladies from the 80's??

Well I decided to choose Patti Smith to Madonna to lady in front from the band BLONDIE..... Deborah Harry ( I know there must be other ladies out there) These three ladies have inspire us all with there music, style and attitude. All struggling to get to where they are today. Below are some videos as well as my collages of each of these talented woman:

ARTIST OF THE MOMENT MISS CLARE ELSAESSER

I been  obsessed with paintings lately and wanted to post up one of my favorite artists whom work I admire and love.....MISS CLARE ELSAESSER......

As a painter myself looking at this just made me want to paint some more......I mean look at it....

what I find very interesting is how she never shows the face of the person in her paintings.... in which  most are young girls........ I love her work and hope to one day interview her ( I wonder if she would like to to guest blog)

A SUNDAY AFTERNOON

So lately I been listening to MADONNA........

And let me tell you I'm more in love with her music now then before.... to be honest I guess I just never really knew who she was ( I mean I never will) but I been reading about her and watching old interviews online of her and looking at her first music videos. I love her style when she first began, it was different and very MADONNA..... Below are some videos you should check out on a Sunday afternoon.....
