all I wanna do

Sometimes I worry that this is what I'm going to look like 
after I spend a life time bartending
(minus the cigarette but add more botox) 

I just might be the crazy old lady 
in the nursing home 
that knows every word 
to all the 
"bar songs"

daily inspiration



“I get worried for young girls sometimes;
 I want them to feel 
that they can be sassy and full and weird and geeky 
and smart and independent,
 and not so withered and shriveled.” 
—Amy Poehler

With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.- Rhett Butler


*June *
1936
was published
so in honor
of one of my favorite books
75th anniversary 
I'm re-reading the epic novel
and gathering some serious style inspiration from the film


*Check out those sleeves*

Love Poem Love: Keats

(via)














Bright Star

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art —
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors —
No — yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft swell and fall,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever — or else swoon to death.

John Keats

"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library." - Jorge Luis Borges, "Poema de los Dones"


*I want to go to there*



E.B. WHITE IN A LETTER TO THE CHILDREN OF TROY, MICHIGAN

a library is many things. it’s a place to go, to get in out of the rain. it’s a place to go if you want to sit and think. 
but particularly it is a place where books live, and where you can get in touch with other people, and other thoughts, through books… books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people — people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book
