i'll keep you there so you can't bother me

... and since then i've been so good at vanishing
now i do as i please and i lie through my teeth
someone might get hurt
but it won't be me
i should probably feel cheap
but i just feel free
and a little it empty
now it isn't so hard to get close to me
there will be no arguments
and you will always agree
and i will try and be kind when i ask you to leave
and we'll both take it easy...

I've been having a moment with pairs lately: rediscovered Peter and the Wolf, the Owl and the Pussycat, Frog and Toad... now finishing off the week with a trio: Charlotte, the Goose, and the Wolf.

P.S. Clearly still not over the pink hair that I will never have.

I've been loving this Valentino dress, the pop of the fringed Louboutins, and Dolce's heavenly lace.

Do you read the awl?

You should.

They publish frequently about bears, the attention-seeking moon, as well as things I already knew but am happy to have confirmed. They even write about things I should know but am embarrassed to admit I do not. See what they can teach you! Maybe even, like, where the title of this post came from.

P.S. Even the paris review likes them!
