Teenage Celebrities

I'm always interested in the rich and famous' "embarrassing" teenage photos, but judging by Courtney Cox-Arquette and Gwyneth Paltrow, they have nothing to be embarrassed about.

Courtney has really beautiful eyes which I never noticed before, and her hair is indeed somewhat akin to my own. She looks really sweet, I'm really jealous.

Oh my god though, Oh. My. God. she's a stunner. I had honestly never considered Gwyneth Paltrow that attractive but here; maybe it's the grainy photograph that gives it a cool rockstar vibe; but she looks incredible. Definitely "the girl most likely" to have everyone want to be her friend.

I just pray that one day when I'm rich and famous nobody will go looking for my high school photos. That could be awkward. I better start taking nice pictures...

Love Like Fashion

this is my friend's blog.

Jade likes to combine fashion, photography and pretty sparkly things; like any girl - and she does it with such effortless style that I'm positively green with envy. 

I may be a little biased, but its worth checking out in my opinion.

She's a regular font of information, I wish I knew where she gets her pictures/videos/pieces of literature.  And she knows what she's talking about.

be a doll and become a follower of her, she deserves it.

I almost forgot I have this thing

I really admire Courtney Beckett's photography (not to mention her brother, the subject of these particular photographs ♥). Courtney is a young photographer from the suburbs of Chicago(Hoffman Estates for anyone who feels particularly stalkerish...aka Me). Each one of her images tells a different story and conveys a different emotion or situation. Or maybe I'm just particularly easy to convince. That could be it...

I think the above "I Refuse toTo Be A Casualty Of This Indifference" is my favourite (and no, not just for the shirtlessness). It struck a chord with me, the message of 'its alright to want to do something more than "gotoschoolmarryhavekidsretiredie"' is really important. it has to be made clear that living for the sake of living is NOT ok. I know without my impossible dream to drive me, I couldn't face getting out of bed each day.

As Mr John Keating says in Dead Poets Society:

"Live deliberately...make every moment count"
