pink it was love at first sight, pink when I turn out the light, pink gets me high as a kite, and I think everything is going to be all right





































Christian Dior Blazer. Vintage dress. Topshop sunglasses.


Aaron was originally going to make this set into a stop motion video similar to the last one, but of course we didn't have time, but I did have a lot of fun taking these with him. We took these at midnight after arriving home from a long trip, I had no makeup on, he just said "put on red lipstick and lets do this," he knows I can never say no to enthusiasm. The hair is by stylist John Ruggiero--leftover from the shoot I did with Becka in Hollywood last weekend. Neither of us wanted to take these candy colored extensions out, and luckily my stylist was able to give me some pink ones to make up for the sad loss of the ones pictured above. It reminded me of junior high when I used to dye my hair blue, and sometimes green, and pink once--but I don't remember getting the warmest response from the kids at school for my Manic Panic hair, funny how the tide turns when things become trendy--I love it. And really, isn't junior high there to traumatize kids into a little box of conformity anyway? I decided a long time ago that the road most traveled wasn't going to be the life for me. The idea of having a nine to five makes me feel like a cat being forced into bathwater, it'll never happen. I know my mom wanted me to follow the tradition of school, steady job, get married, have kids, blah blah boring etc. etc., but I could never live for the ideals of someone else, even if it is my family. If those things are something you actually want, it would be a whole different story, but they're just not for me. Like Hunter said, "I wouldn't recommend sex, drugs or insanity for everyone, but they've always worked for me."

I'm heading back to New York in a few hours, if you want you can be my internet friend and keep in touch with my wild and weird life adventures on Twitter--I have so much more fun now that I have an iPhone, that thing is my little pocket magician.

I love your hair Krystal! I agree that it IS mighty strange when what you did in high school was considered weird or lame is now 'cool' or even trendy. It's times like these I wish I didn't have almost black hair so I could just do a few strips of blue or pink in my hair....
Have fun in NY!!

As I scroll down the colors and cotton candy hair seems to pop up more and more. I love that dress and those glasses. Best shoot I've seen and seriously considering doing this too my hair, but might not considering you had it done by a professional.. Love your text .. I have to say the thought of getting married, having kids, and a steady job (blah blah) has always been something I went against growing up and now find myself with that frame of mind of being single, living life, and having fun. Hunter S. Thompson quote killed me..

M :| said...

I had to do it a second time ..xo love

Chloe said...

I've had my hair blue, red, orange, pink and purple, I havent been brave enough for green though. I'd love to attempt yellow one day too.

I wonder if this is the new trend for Spring Summer. Im not too keen on the Proenza Schouler's green but if it's done right like ála Giles SS10, it can look quite nice. You pulled it off at least.

I was flicking through channels and on abc2 they were playing I'm with rolling stone! (in Oz so I don't think it has shown yet?) it was strange to see you animated, not just on your blog! And hear you talk. Haha. You looked so different!

Anyway I didn't mean to write this much, your hair and face look fab here- not at all like you've just come home after a road trip! Amazing.

I love glitter. This dress is fabulous. Perfect to be the queen of the party. I have hanging on my closet a mini skirt, ballerinas, a dress, of course, and a pair of ankle boots by spanish designer Paco Gil that I found at the online shop Shoespanish.com. Do you know it?

Why do you incessantly rant about 'normal, boring people and their boring 9-5 jobs?' Who cares. You don't want to do it, then don't do it! 20-somethings are always so obsessed with what they won't do. Once you get older, you'll stop caring so much about what you don't want and just live your life!

i love these colors!! so party happy ALphaBeat!!!

I totally relate with your idea as well. True vagabond at heart!!
