...whilst i read...

"What's mine is mine, and not anyone else's, even to look upon, unless I decide it is so. Remove your eyes from my flesh at once, or have them removed."

There is something so magnificent about these words. Possibly the most intense quote i have read, laughed and loved since reading the "Tales of the Otori" or "Venisse Underground". It's just so filthy and dominant, power of the women, and all that jazz!
I am currently reading "Blood of the Fold" - the third book of "Sword of Truth" series, written by Terry Goodkind. A dear friend, C.Katerere, told me they were the most descriptive and indepth books she had ever read, so i followed suit, and i must say they are impressive. As a lover of books anyway (dreaming of the most ridiculous library i can create in my future home and having researched beautiful libraries thus far aka "Beauty & The Beast" & Hans Zimmers studio COUGH) i am slightly annoyed at myself for not having read these books in the past. It is on no comparitive wavelength to J.R.R Tolkein or C.S.Lewis, even Phillip Pullman, it is in it's own category of awesomeness!

Below, behold....Hans Zimmers studio...

...I shed a tear for him...

I'm sitting here in some sort of forbidden daze....this is what i don't like about being ill...it's dangerous, there is far too much time to think. Although it helps with creating ambitious ideas, the constant brooding and dwelling on deeper subconciousness starts to raise its head...

...part of me is still sad for the loss of Alexander McQueen. A talented British Fashion Designer, a Legend of Garments. I was hoping on some rare occasion in the future perhaps meeting him as i am travelling down the path of fashion designing myself. It's so sad and yet shows such a determined loyalty and strength of love to take your own life for another...i mean this is my assumption. Having lost his best friend 3 years ago and then having lost his mother this year...three days later he departs the living. I doubt it had anything to do with the stress of Fashion week approaching, his collection for 2012 was complete in ideas; perhaps it added to emotional ordeal he was going through...who knows, in the end R.I.P Alexander McQueen, you will always have lovers everywhere and will be sorely missed. . .

...I awoke...

...Inspired this morning, up at a relatively decent time for once. Unsure as to where to start, it seems wonderful yet annoying that i can't decided whether to draw, write lyrics or more of "The Perfect Doll" (yes inspired by Muse Doll creations), or to make this skirt my dear friend David gave me the pattern for.
Here i sit, listening to "Angel" Massive Attack and slightly daydreaming of Gaara & Sasuke, two incredibly dark characters from an anime i am currently obsessed with.

Hmmmmm, what to do?

I can't believe i am resorting to say this but i am actually going to blame the weather for being a complete mental block! EVERYTIME i look outside to that grey desolate shitbag sky, i just seem to grumble under my breath, i just want to see some heavenly blue sky dammit! Which is a sort of clash to my work.....my artwork is NEVER cheerful!
I guess this song is my current mood of confusion and deep thoughts...

...In The Beginning...

I am The Secret Novelist and welcome to my garden... i have decided to step into the expressive realm of blogging...joining my fellow brethrens who also have their own hotspots of creativity.
My garden, i have decided, will grow an assortment of my current work, le album and a novel i am writing, as well as comments on random inspiration or juicy artists i adore.

It begins with Atelier Muse. I am generally terrified of dolls...bloody porcelain devils...and yet i am so entranced by the Muse branded dolls, i find myself actually saving up for one. Friggin' extortianate pricing, but who isn't self-indulgent these days...we are all guilty! Either way, they are filthy, eerie beauties, they're about half the size of me, will probably cause some sort of disturbing prescence in my room...hmmm...
-anyway, i found these cutie critters on musedoll.com, whilst on a hunt for some gwen stefani barbies...that will be saved for another post...the website is literally for those old biddy types (perhaps slightly younger with a modern flair but who fall into these absurd hobbies because of their children having being thirty and having their own families, invest in a cat, and starts smelling of "Opium" aka YSL Granny basher - rant over!).You get my drift! I mean...look at this! They're just so weird, and stylish, very japanese street fashion!
