At a loss… ?

…regarding this site’s layout/theme. I’m kinda sick of it, but I like how consistent the images look and feel on the front page. Going back to a normal-flow layout doesn’t seem to satisfy my hyper anal tendencies to appreciate the “block” look of the current layout. 

  • Do I look for a new theme to modify instead (rather than creating new graphics for the current “look”)?
  • Do I stick with this same “boxed” theme, but change up the graphics and colors again?

Feedback/opinions/thoughts are totally appreciated. xoxo

Wow!

Last night I posted this quote from Anderson Cooper. I woke up this morning to see it’s received over 7,000 notes (and still gaining); which is by far the most I’ve ever gotten on a post (that I know of!) I’m absolutely overcome with joy that Tumblr is such a haven for news and active youth - it gives me actual hope for our future, as corny as that sounds. Keep up the information flow, it’s the only way we all can truly see what’s going on in our world.

I would like you to know that I love your blog, and after following you for so long, and I see pictures of models and things, it makes me mad when their names and where the picture is from isn't there. :)

Hey there, thank you so much for your sweet response! I normally post as much information as possible (or that I know of) with a photo - if the info isn’t there, either I do not know it or I am unsure and don’t want to post incorrect information. I label things in order to better organize the blog, and to make similar posts easier to find - but not every post has a ton of information behind it. I apologize if there was something you were looking for and couldn’t find - if you have a specific question let me know and I can do some more digging to see if I can’t find you some answers.

Beautiful roses that Rye brought in to work for me yesterday… they even have glitter on them. <3

We celebrated by feasting on steak last night, and he prepared a lovely bed of roses around a romantic celebration just for the two of us.

I’m a very lucky Valentine.

"I was shaped like a square at one time. I was! I’m generally around 130 pounds, which is totally fine for me. But when I was a kid, I was the same height and weighed more like 145. And I had enormous boobs that I didn’t know what to do with, so I wore minimizers, which were not cute. Those thick-ass straps! I got made fun of for the over-the-shoulder boulder holder…and all I wanted was to look like Kate Moss. Little did I know…that these things would come in handy someday"
