how this has come to be

This blog was inspired by my fresh start with ocean views. I like me a project and that is why this little baby has emerged. For those who are fans this is clearly a blatant lyrical quote from possibly the worlds most underrated bands -The Cure whom I adore.

you're so gorgeous i'll do anything!
i'll kiss you from your feet
to where your head begins!
you're so perfect!
you're so right as rain!
you make me make me make me
make me hungry again

everything you do is irresistible
everything you do is simply kissable
why can't i be you?

i'll run around in circles
'til i run out of breath
i'll eat you all up
or i'll just hug you to death
you're so wonderful!
too good to be true!
you make me
make me hungry for you

everything you do is simply delicate
everything you do is quite angelicate
why can't i be you?
why can't i be you?

you turn my head when you turn around
you turn the whole world upside down
i'm smitten i'm bitten i'm hooked i'm cooked
i'm stuck like glue!
you make me
make me hungry for you

everything you do is simply dreamy
everything you do is quite delicious
why can't i be you?
why can't i be you?
why can't i be you?

you're simply elegant!

The lyrics speak for themselves however it is much more than just a quote - it is about appreciation, admiration and the feeling of want that everyday we feel as human beings. Plus it is a ridiculously wicked song.

new beginnings...

I am admist of packing up my life for a seachange. I'm moving out of the 'burbs to the northern beaches - my favourite place in the world. Up to my neck in boxes for the move but the thing I love about moving house is coming across photographs. I found some great beach snaps from the 1960's of my Mother and her family, it is incredible seeing a whole era combined into a few photo albums.

The array of polaroid cameras which are responsible for said photographs have managed to capture authentic moments, there is nothing contrived or pre conceived. Overlooking the male faux par fashion choices such as the high waisted short shorts, yellow lensed glasses and loads of facial hair the women are all so fresh faced and organic - and of course I am biased as my Mother is particularly the most gorgeous of them all.

This is a dedicated throwback to the natural surf culture, may you never die!
