Each Day a Flower

Interests: Dolls, fashion, androgyny, silent & classic film, Pre-Raphaelites, street art, advertising, surrealism, low-brow, male models & actors, actresses, cartoons, vintage images, toys, candy, fairy tales, messing around with gender roles. I try to avoid reblogging posts that have been reblogged several thousand times, unsourced images, touchy-feely text over blurry pictures of the woods/outerspace, over-exposed pictures of teenagers sitting around doing ordinary stuff with their faces obscured or heads cut off, & fashion photos that seem E.D.-triggering to me. I have enough problems, man.

palequeenliteraryquotes:

“It’s not that I can’t fall in love. It’s really that I can’t help falling in love with too many things all at once. So, you must understand why I can’t distinguish between what’s platonic and what isn’t, because it’s all too much and not enough at the same time.”

-Jack Kerouac

"There was very little about her face and figure that was in any way remarkable, but it was the sort of face which, when animated by conversation or laughter, is completely transformed. She had a lovely disposition, a quick mind and a fondness for the comical. She was always very ready to smile and, since a smile is the most becoming ornament that any lady can wear, she had been known upon occasion to outshine women who were acknowledged beauties in three countries."
