Crazily these are my 5 favorite screen shots from Kanye West's video for Runaway, in order they are in the video. As you can tell, it doesn't make much sense: pheonix girl falls from the sky with feathers that magically (& distractingly) remain over her boobs, then via a weird night parade, a dinner where all the guests are black & the servers are white, some ballerinas, they fall in love & whilst having sex she evolves & learns to fly 'home'.Anyway know it came out a while ago, but I've just bought his album after having given up on him after the purple university album. And he's been everywhere lately, including his video for Monsters, any thoughts on it? I guess it's about models/fashion industry. I feel like I should hate it like everyone else but I actually think it's clever by way of making the implicit explicit. But enough of that, if you haven't watched either I erge to too, as well as listening to the track below. It's my favorite of the album & mystically I found some lyrics from it scrawled on my arm from last night...I think.
Enjoy!
I've been spending my days this week split between frustrating physics revision, trawling the internet for stupidly specific vintage clothing & hatching over ambitious holiday plans with various people. As a sort of symptom, if you will, of this ground hog day feeling I ventured out in a slip. There were other layers but it comes down to being out of touch with reality, luckily I was driving, unluckily it was to meet Eve & go charity shop digging where it rained but I did find a skirt which I'm going to create a sort of inverse of the marc jacobs dress (look below) out of.
Oh well, it's almost the end of the week, so I'll stick my tongue out to it & take some badly tipped images. I should explain, a friend gave me my tripod which proceeded to break, scattering very key screws onto my bedroom floor which my cat then played with into obscurity before I could fix it all back properly. So I have to perch my camera on top of it at a very scewy angle. My photography teacher would not be proud... Ah well,
Happy Friday!
