ruess on living

I have always been unsatisfied with life as most people live it. Always I want to live more intensely and richly. Why muck and conceal one's true longings and loves, when by speaking of them one might find someone to understand them, and by acting on them one might discover oneself?

freaks (1932)

if you have about an hour of free time i highly recommend watching todd browning's freaks. it's really an amazing film. (that is suprisingly for sympathetic to the "freaks" & lacks most of the exploitation that i had expected.) it explores the notion of what really makes someone a monster, it's interesting to see a large array of people who deviate from society's standards of what is normal & i've always been interested in circus life & physical abnormalities. seriously - watch this movie. you can watch it for free & online right here.

favorite eyebrows

i love large, dramatic eyebrows. i hate this current trend where most eyebrows are way over-tweezed, or even worse - clownish, drawn-on eyebrows.
