Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears

this autumn/spring (depending where in the world you are), dark plummy colors are in. not a lot are fans of this dark trend, on the premise that 'only a few can carry it',
but i say, anyone can wear it, if they knew how to work the colors.



while it's more convenient to "plum up" the lips, it's also worth giving the eyes a slight darkish glare of that purple. especially during daytime.



for it to be "wearable", just think of the moderate late 80's and early 90's look. (none of the extremes)

things that are otherworldly


and my favorite m&m,

not to mention my state of mind.

I try to be not like that


but some people really suck



Some people need to get the axing
chalk it up to bad luck


I know a drugstore cowgirl
so afraid of getting bored


i might do that stuff if
it didn't make me feel like shit

i tried to keep up

You wore me out and left me ate up

Now I wish you all the luck
You're a butterfly in the wind without a care

A pretty train crash to me and I can't care
I do I don't whatever
