more, underfaved sets lol. They're not all under 15 faves like last time though.
Mini sets- sets smaller than normal your average. They tend to be comprised of mostly photos and text.[great definition, eh?] I have a huge love of the ones with fashion thrown in :]

Channeling Debbie Harry.


ON DATING OLDER GUYS:
"I'm not going to date someone who's sixteen.
Boys are so much less mature than girls as it is;
there's just no way—I would eat a boy my age alive."

ON RELATING TO OTHER TEENS:
"I live a very adult life: I have two different careers;
I'm on tour. What am I going to do, hang out
with the high school kids? I just can't relate
to what they talk about—it seems so petty."

ON WRITING HER OWN MUSIC:
"The most obvious thing is to look at me and say,
"Oh, pretty blonde girl, let's put her in pop."
But I would never want to do something
in music that isn't representing me."

ON HER UPDATED LOOK:
"I know people were a little, um, taken aback.
But it wasn't me that changed—it
was just that I decided to start being myself.
Now I do my own makeup, my
own hair, and dress myself, and it feels better."

Is it bad to say that I don't like her and
her new "too cool for school" attitude?
There's a strong chance that this
cover story actually made me hate her lol.
Before she seemed really sweet and cutesy.
Now she's just... boring. She has the same
"I'm too awesome to speak to you" theology
that the rest of her annoying generation has.
So for someone who is trying very hard to
be different, her speech and actions are exactly
the same as her contemporaries. Ugh,
there I go ranting about how annoying
teenagers are again. She just seems like
she's trying really hard to make everyone
believe that she's mature. She's trying to
grow up too fast, which is something
that I hate. Oh well, I don't like the shoot much
either. It just seems really off. I guess it's the awkward
clash between the girlyness of the background
and her Debbie Harry look. [Yes, I know
these aren't the official photos but these
outtakes are kinda bleh..] For someone who
apparently wants to be a model, she doesn't
seem to have any modeling talent whatsoever.
She looks completely dead and out of place.
There's no tension in the photos.. nothing that
makes me actually want to look at them.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you

We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

(Marianne Williamson, A Return To Love; HarperCollins, 1992)

I love that quote. I'll have a real post soon. Sorry, I keep forgetting about this blog. [Not like it matters, no one really reads it.]
Hmm, well if anyone /does/ read this. You should comment and tell me your deepest fear :]
