Word Vomit: A lot of photos and a lot more babbling

I recently stumbled upon a scan of an editorial from American Vogue June 2004. It was shot by Miesel.

I don't think I'll ever forget this just because it's in my first ever copy of Vogue. I used to show that photo to my Mom saying "Where can I find this??" referring to the clothes worn by Daria and the other girl. I recall watching The Devil Wears Prada and hearing Stanley Tucci give that speech about how he was a small town kid who dressed funny and read Vogue all day and now he's a success in the industry. I just kept thinking "I'm a small town girl (not really, but this country is pretty jank so that counts)! As a kid I always dressed weird (I would like to thank my Mom and Dad for not forcing me into a pink dress when I wanted to do denim on denim at 6 years old even though I looked ridiculous)! But I never really got much influence from high fashion." I think that's why I was so ridiculous looking for the most part of my life. My fashion inspirations came from Britney Spears and the Spice Girls. Whenever a photo of me from those days pops up, I just say I was trying out a trend and failed in epic proportions.

I know people always talk about how terrible this generation is and yada yada, but I think that if you're a kid right now, you're extremely lucky. I could never get my hands on a copy of Vogue at 7 (P600 for a magazine? Out of the question). Heck, I can't even afford to buy one now! It was only in 5th grade that I got a hold of my first Vogue and in 7th grade when I started watching fashion shows (Thank you to cable and Fashion TV) and in high school when I discovered the wonderful people who will scan their magazines for you and the rest of the world to enjoy. Fashion loving kids, appreciate the internet and get inspired by what it offers! It is going to save you from many a fashion faux pas!

Naturally, in traditional Chelsea fashion, we have deviated so far from the point that we're on Abell 1835 IR1916 (look it up, big boy). I started this post, because I just want to show you guys these eds that I really enjoyed when I was a wee bit younger (Not younger younger because I had no means then, just younger as in 3 or 4 years ago). I think it's because I just wanted to bring back some feelings from those days when I was just discovering the beauty of high fashion. You know when you find something - maybe your old backpack in 3rd grade or an old watch - you just get a wave of nostalgia, but no concrete memories from that time? Well this is what looking at these photos makes me feel. I know that sounds like I'm being overly sentimental over pretty girls in pretty dresses, but it's true! I guess you could say they're my favorites.

PS. I've realized I don't enjoy eds that don't show the clothes. Always there would be these blurred photos or naked girls and I just think what? I think it's because I am a total noob at photography so I wouldn't be able to judge anything but the styling and clothes on the ed. I really wish I could fully appreciate every aspect though. Anyway enjoy these eds with mostly color and couture (I'm a more is more kinda girl).
