"All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know."

Ernest Hemingway  (via thatkindofwoman)

One of the best things I’ve ever learned. The best book I’ve ever read: A Moveable Feast. I’m sort of obsessed with Hemingway and I’ve only read 2 of his books. Gotta get moving on that…

THIS IS COMPLETE WITH NARRATIONS OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS IF YOU WATCH ANY VIDEO IN YOUR LIFE IT MUST BE THIS: “There’s some kind of bugs on the earth… oh, no wait, that’s flowers. I don’t know why they have bug ears.”

Omg fast forward to 4:20 best part.

I once saw a documentary about Maurice Sendak, and it was really interesting. He had an obsession with and fear of the Lindbergh baby, and that influenced some of his work.

Dr. Seuss: Word Inventor, Rapper Extraordinaire →

Amanda Smith: Now, you suggest that Seuss was the original rapper. How do you mean that?

Philip Nel: One of the things he did was popularise rhyme as a means for political protest. He wrote very political books like Yertle the Turtle, which he said was inspired by the rise of Hitler, and of course is a parable against someone like Hitler. The Sneeches was inspired by his opposition to anti-Semitism. He wrote very many political children’s books and, of course, all in rhyme. And rap music also has been used as a medium of dissent in verse and at least one of the earliest rappers cites the rhythms of Dr Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas and of Mohammad Ali’s self-promotional poetry as what inspired him to begin rapping. That was Kool Moe Dee, who was a 1980s rapper, and there have been plenty of hip hop and rap-inspired artists who have adopted Seussian rhymes and themes. And so, in that sense, Seuss inspired rap both as a medium of dissent in verse…and also just the rhythms: the rhythms of his language have a kind of popular poetry just as rap is a popular poetry.

Seriously… go read the rest of it. What an amazing guy!

Lacoste, S/S 2012

I always shrug Lacoste off because in my eyes, the name is more of a “brand” than it is “fashion.” HOWEVER! This collection of color-blocked shirt dresses, sheer, sexy maxi dresses, and playful, asymmetrical tops (holy hell, Aymeline!) are so suffocatingly beautiful that I need them all in my closet right now, thank you very much.
