simplicity & crookedness.

taste: cheesecake + green tea
sound: "black river" - amos lee (he is the fucking man. and SO good live.)
smell: rain (i like how rain makes the earth smell)



i know i'm not a fashion poster, but i just bought a few things from american apparel, and i'm excited. so first off, i got the basic hoodie in "sunshine," which i feel like is a wonderful color for clothing. wearing yellow makes me feel happier.
i also got the classic v-necks in white & asphalt. a friend of mine said to me once, "i think all beautiful people should wear simple clothing." that stuck with me. i think simple clothing does work wonders, though. it brings out lots of beautiful things that often go unnoticed due to flashy clothes/accessories.
*random note: if you've ever heard of the british store "accessorize," you might think this is funny...but in russia they have it too, except everyone pronounces it as if it were french so it sounds more like "accessorizay" (i don't know how to type accents on here.)



so, speaking of beauty...i've been told that symmetry plays a big role in the notion of beauty. "symmetry has been scientifically proven to be inherently attractive to the human eye. it has been defined not with proportions, but rather with similarity between the left and right sides of the face." i've noticed, however, that i really enjoy the little flaws in people i like. for example, i found that one of the things i liked a lot about a guy i used to know is that his eyes weren't exactly the same and one of them was noticeably smaller when he smiled. it sounds unattractive, but that was something i thought was really cute. i wonder what that says about me as a person, and whether it means i'm some sort of emotional cripple, haha. i mean, i most likely would not be attracted to someone who was missing an eye, or had half of his face blown off, but i think a little crooked-ness is sexy.
