Is my work already being done?

Surely, I am not the only one noticing this, noticing that it seems like vintage is coming back with a vengeance. First Penelope Cruz with her vintage Pierre Balmain dress, then Kate Winslet with her style homage to Grace Kelly, and, though less prevalent and this started much more earlier than this year, but girl's shirts at stores like Hollister, Aeropostale, Amerian Eagle, and A&F. If anybody at all has noticed, this is actually a throw-back to the 1970's. Yes, the 70's. The era of rollerdisco and polyester. Back then was when girls first started wearing long tight shirts that went well past the belt. You see, when I become famous, it was my goal to begin a cultural rewind, to revert back to the grander days of elegance and glamour, the flapper era of 1920's, the jazz era of the 1930's, the war era of the 1940's, the simple art deco era of the 1950's, and the bold and sometimes crazy shapes and lines of the 1960's. Well, with people like Penelope Cruz and Kate Winslet doing that already, I don't know if I'll have too much work to do. But really, you're probably wondering why I want to do this. Because. Because I want to show the idiotic and sometimes ignorant people of my generation the elegance, the glamour, the opulence, and the beauty of the Golden Eras of Film & Music, when to be in show business meant that you could do it all, sing, dance, act, and still have brains. To have the common descency to wear a tuxedo or a gown to a formal event, to wear a matching hat, or matching shoes. To step out of a car onto a plush red carpet and be pleasantly blinded by the lights of thousands of cameras capturing your legacy at this time and




















place to be kept for all of eternity past your death and become immortalized as not only a movie star, but a star, a shimmering, glittering star in the sky, because it was you. You were shinning at that moment, and they didn't want to forget that. Now. I'm not saying that this era is full of crap, we just need to find a balance, a balance between the MILLIONAIRES and Al Bowlly. A balance between Dior Haute Couture and Juicy Couture. To put it simpy, A Balance between the two worlds, A Balance Between CHANEL N°5 and Miss Dior Cherie. Hmm, if only I knew other people like me (no, not like that), people who see the past, and are interested, not arrogantly disapproving and bored. -sigh-, How do you feel about fur coming back In-Style?

My Odd Obsession with Death, Hollywood, and my need to take over the world that I can't shake

Why do I like to wander cemetaries? Why do I love Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Gene Kelley, Princess Diana, Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn, Aubrey Hepburn, and, suprisingly, Paris Hilton? Why can't I shake the yearning to take over the world and have the world population wait on me hand and foot, fanning me with enormous palm leaves, and buying me anything I desire. I don't know. Some people call me crazy, psychotic, pyro-maniacal, bi-polar, or insane, but its just me. Over time I'm going to reveal the method to my madness, but for today, all I'm going to reveal is this; My one true goal in life, if the world domination thing doesn't work out, is to be famous for nothing, and be treated like royalty. All I Want to be is, quoting one of the people I just talked about, Loved By You. Every single person alive. I want to be a house hold name. Just you watch, one day I'll be smiling from the center of the stage at Grauman's Chinese.
