Manolo Blahnik

So In sixth grade my friend and I had to do a project, and we chose the topic of Manolo Blahnik! Now I heard of him a little before but I was never so aware of his shoes and how special they are. Ever since that project, I have been obsessed. If I could only have one pair of shoes for my whole life, I would choose a pair of Manolo Blahnik's. I literally no everything about him and his work. Some kids have an obsession with Justin Beiber or the Jonas brothers, but no. Not me. I have an serious obsession with Manolo.

This is one of the first shoes he designed:

They where designed for the Ossie Clark Show in 1971.

The heels of his shoes are his most special part, they are still handmade and crafted by Manolo himself.

My favorite quote by him:

“About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest arebread-and-butter designs.”

Poetry:

This is from an online writing contest I had entered, it was suppose to be about your self using opposites:

I look in the mirror to see a face.

Deep down into those light brown eyes,

I am.

I am who i am, no one can judge.

I am strong, but i am weak.

I am beautiful, but i am grotesque.

I try and make things work,

I try and shine a light, but sometimes it just doesn't work.

I am a poet, who wishes she can write.

I am a child, who puts up a fight.

I write lyrics to be heard,

to tell a story of what i am.

But in the end its no happily ever after

its just me,

and that all i can be.

This was something I wrote awhile back, when I was really upset because of my friend being so far away:

And I would run miles for you.
Miles
Minutes
Hours
Days
Weeks
Months
Years.
I would run forever to get to you,
forever because I love you,
forever because I need you.
No matter how long it takes,
I will get to you.

All the grass that separates us
mixed with all the air
creates an atmosphere
of space.

That I will have to fight,
to get to you.

Letters

I've given up on writing those letters, I started to get bored

If you have any suggestions on what to do next

Hot Mess

Honesty box on facebook is kinda lame, I rarely ever check it. But the other day I came upon it and I found myself with five comments.

Apparently my question was "What song do I remind you of?" Two out of the five said the song Hot Mess, now one said I reminded them of Hot Mess by Ashley Tisdale and the other said I reminded them of Hot Mess by Cobra starship. (both great songs) there reasoning was simply "because you are one" or "well your a mess, and your hot so it works" So I started wondering...am I a hot mess?

I have come to the conclusion that I am most definitely a mess, always have been. But hot? I can't call myself hot..i find that weird. So whatever, the point of this story is...well there isn't one. But I want to figure out if being a "Hot Mess" is a good thing or bad thing? SO HELP ME OUT!

give me your opinion.

Day #14: Someone you drifted from

Im skipping day 13!

Dear Jenna,

I don't really know what happened, we where best friends we danced together.. we did everything together. We've known each other since we where in dippers and we where best friends ever since. Then one day when we got older we just lost touch. It was really sad. I miss you a lot. We always had so much fun! I remember the time we made a tarp pool in your backyard or when we made up the "boat game" when we pretended we where orphans living on a boat..."hello" I'm pretty sure that was the scariest thing that ever happened to me. I wish we could just hangout again, but every time we try to are plans fail. It sucks. But I guess are lives just don't match up anymore, but maybe one day they will..so for now we will wait!

lots of lovee

Geena

Quote of the day:

"I want to be beautiful
Make you stand in awe
Look inside my heart,
and be amazed
I want to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
Just want to be worthy of love
And beautiful"
