bubble gum

this could be the cutest outfit ever, courtesy of 60s yé-yé singer sylvie vartan:

i adore her, a recent musical discovery in my neverending quest for more french 60s pop. pictured here with john and paul:

in other news i was reading this blog today and fell in love with her DIY ramones bag:

isn't it gorgeous? might have to try something similar myself one of these days

currently listening to:
la noyée ~ serge gainsbourg
bubble gum ~ brigitte bardot
some kinda love ~ the velvet underground
love is the drug ~ roxy music

lloyd, i'm ready to be heartbroken

but you know i know when it's a dream

julia

half of what i say is meaningless
but i say it just to reach you,
julia

julia, julia, oceanchild, calls me
so i sing a song of love, julia
julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
so i sing a song of love, julia

her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering,
in the sun

julia, julia, morning moon, touch me
so i sing a song of love, julia

when i cannot sing my heart
i can only speak my mind, julia

julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
so i sing a song of love, julia
calls me
so i sing a song of love for julia, julia, julia

if you close the door the night could last forever

my dad just gave me the official program of the beatles' 1964 australian tour which is worth thousands nowadays. and then he came in and gave me a copy of "woman and beauty" from october 1934 with a forecast of "autumn beauty and fashions". ily dad. ily john lennon. ily retro things.

sooo apart from that, today was pretty uneventful except i got a haircut and went and saw the movie ghost town. apparently it came out in america like last year, but it's only just arrived in australian theaters to the best of my knowledge. apparently it flopped in north america too, which is weird. i loved it. i was crying with laughter in at least one scene ~ ricky gervais does deadpan so well. o and i'm finding greg kinnear oddly attractive atm, he has lovely blue eyes

i bought the most beautiful flapper dress for $20 yesterday but i can't be bothered taking photos so i'll post about it sometime soon.
