Sunset Seventies

Long time no see and frankly not too much has happened although I'll do a general update post later.  Lately I've been obsessed with the sing In The City by The Eagles. I heard it when I was rewatching The Warriors for the first time in 10 years. I love to listen to it while looking at The Virgin Suicides screencaps because Sofia Capolla + 70s music = a world of awesome. So look at this photo (click or drag to new window to enlarge) and let your mind wander to this lovely song.

HOLY HEART EYES BATMAN! BH cosmetics came out with two new era eyeshadow palettes: Eyes on the 70's & Eyes on the 80's. My heart is fluttering and unfortunately my wallet is empty.

70s

80s

The Virgin Suicides has always transported me to an untouchable time and place. A place where happiness and sadness were not oil and water but different water colors that bleed together to make a whole new world and spectrum. This is the first time I've realized that those two emotions can go hand in hand. Aren't they the strongest feelings? The ones felt most often? Ones that can tug and pull us in so many directions and deliver us into realms we didn't even know were made possible. I think being able to feel happiness and sadness as a whole makes us human. I used to think you could only be at one point in the rainbow spectrum of feeling and emotions, however I'm now lucky enough to know that there really is no fixed point in life. Things cannot be explained or felt as easily as we thought. Emotions are a kaleidoscope of colors hitting us in different places at the same time or not hitting us at all. They blind us. We can't even see how beautiful they look displayed on us.
