“Every thing possible to be believed is an image of truth.” --William Blake

Dress, vintage. Bag, Christian Dior. Sandals, Gucci.

This dress was another one of my cheap second-hand finds--in fact, a good majority of my closet is vintage and secondhand. There is nothing worse than spending a ton of money on little bits of clothing. It is the exclusivity factor that expensive and limited fashion pieces buy you, just something else to brag about--without saying a word. Why should anything have to be the expensive...we'll I know why, but I still think it is completely stupid, and I'll admit it; I own some really stupid pieces that I really regret now. I used to think fashion was important, but what that really means is I used to think buying an image was important. How could I not when the only thing that is glorified anymore is image.

I really liked Alice Delall's most recent i-D Magazine interview when she spoke of all her copycat clones with undercuts and such, seemingly pinpointing people would follow anything if they thought it would get them a little recognition, when a few years ago they were bohemian followers of the church of Sienna Miller. I have spent a lot of time around the image obsessed world, and celebrities, and I wish I could tell every person who wants to get involved in that kind of life how much of a farce it is--that is why all these famous people end up with these horrid stories, addictions, and who knows what else, because all of that is void of any fulfillment. I sometimes even have second thoughts about keeping this blog, myspace, or any of that--I never want people to think that any of this holds any true importance, we're all just kids posting silly outfits, but somehow even having a blog (for free nonetheless) has become something to brag and compete for status with.

Anyone who has spent any time in Hollywood knows how grimy it is. People there would sell their own mothers for a little bit of exposure. I was offered several small parts in lame movies after I did the Rolling Stone TV show, none of which I took for obvious reasons--you see how I feel about this business (and I'm not a fucking actress), I may look the part, but never't be fooled by the books cover. Although, I did work pre-production on a film that will be released in 2010, and my job ended up getting completely sidelined after three of the producers hit on me, and I turned them all down one by one--all that casting couch cliche stuff happens daily, the glamor that they sell is only an image, and you really don't want to know what's behind the finished product, because it would deter you completely. If people knew the truth about the majority of the entertainment industry, I think they would be less eager to get involved, or make it their life's work when everyone is just a puppet--an easily replaceable one at that. There are originals out there, and then there are the rest of them, waiting for the next big trend, or the next cult-hero model/rich kid/celebrity to worship.
