Marie X Antoinette

Have I mentioned my love of Marie Antoinette yet? The movie. The lady. Everything ever? I'm genuinely convinced that I was her in a past life. Like. Actually. Convinced.

Anyway. I've been listening to the soundtrack from the Sofia Coppola movie all evening/night/morning/whatever, mostly because it's the only thing I can ever listen to without skipping a single song. It (+ extreme boredom) inspired me to do my makeup and then take pictures. I was also inspired by a new Chanel collection by Karl Lagerfeld which combines Marie's style with the styles found in the Harajuku District in Japan. It's weird and not my favourite, but I loved the makeup on the models so I did my own thing but was inspired by their pink eyeshadows and Chanel logo beauty marks.

Why Did I Do This?

I just got all of the A Song of Ice and Fire books delivered to me.

They all range from the high 700s - 1100s in terms of page numbers. 
There are 5 of them. (But books 3 and 5 are "too long" so they came in 2 volumes so there's 7 total)

It's so intimidating having 7 giant books staring at me. 

Like, yeah, I read all 3 Hunger Games books in less than a week, but... they were little and young adult fiction. I don't think I've ever read a book series meant for adults before. Which is hilarious, but whatever. I love reading teenager books for some reason. 

Anyway. I guess I had better get started. They're not going to read themselves.
I should keep some sort of excel chart to see how long it takes me to read them and what page I'm on when and stuff.

Not Now

Come here, please hold my hand for now
Help me, I'm scared please show me how to fight this,
God has a master plan, and I guess
I am in His demand

Please save me, this time I cannot run
And I'll see you when this is done
And now I have come to realize
That you are the one who's left behind

Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here hold on
To me I'm right here waiting

I see a light, it feels good
And I'll come back soon just like you would
It's useless, my name has made the list
And I wish, I gave you one last kiss

Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here hold on
To me I'm right here waiting
And take my one last breath,
And don't forget
That I will be right here waiting

Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here hold on
To me I'm right here waiting
And take my one last breath,
And don't forget
That I will be right here waiting

Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here hold on
To me I'm right here waiting
And take my one last breath,
And don't forget
That I will be right here waiting.

This is how I wish it had been when my mom died.
