"Can I Live"



Forgettin all I ever knew, convenient amnesia
I suggest you call my lawyer, I know the procedure
Lock my body can't trap my mind, easily
explain why we adapt to crime
I'd rather die enormous than live dormant that's how we on it
Live at the main event, I bet a trip to Maui on it
Presidential suites my resedential for the weekend
Confidentially speakin in codes since I sense you peekin
The NSX rental, don't be fooled my game is mental
We both out of town dog, what you tryin to get into?
Viva, Las Vegas, see ya, later at the crap tables
meet me by the one that starts a G up
This way no fraud Willie's present gambling they re-up
And we can have a pleasant time, sippin margaritas
Ge-ge-geyeahhh, can I live?
Can I live?

My mind is infested, with sick thoughts that circle
like a Lexus, if driven wrong it's sure to hurt you
Dual level like duplexes, in unity, my crew and me
commit atrocities like we got immunity
You guessed it, manifest it in tangible goods
Platinum Rolexed it, we don't lease
we buy the whole car, as you should
My confederation, dead a nation, EXPLODE
on detonation, overload the mind of a said patient
When it boils to steam, it comes to it
we all fiends gotta do it, even righteous minds go through this
True this, history school us to spend our money foolish
Bond with jewellers and, watch for intruders
I stepped it up another level, meditated like a buddhist
Recruited lieutenants with ludicrous, dreams of
gettin cream let's do this, it gets tedious
So I keep one eye open like, C-B-S, ya see me
stressed right? Can I live?
Can I live?
Can I live?
Can I live?
Ha-hah, Roc-A-Fella y'all 

i wish life would stop trying to bitch slap me into submission
it wont succeed I'll just be a fiercer bitch.

Nude Culottes

Scarlett Johansson for Mango S/S 2010
I can actually feel the summer, its here, i can smell it, i can taste it
and more importantly i want to dress like it please..
I'll be the first to admit I'm more Magic City than Little House on the Prairie on any given day
BUT if they have butt-skimming peach silk culottes on the Prairie then get me to the Mid-West(i'm assuming that's where the Prairie is?!) A.S.A.P.

Sports Luxe

For me, the summer will be pure gray, mother-of-pearl, very pale grey. To me, this is the big statement for summer. Then we have light blue, light turquoise, lots of pink.
Gianni Versace
Its so obvious to me now that dear old Gianni has been spiritually guiding me towards a break away from my obsession with cotton jersey nylon blends(aka spandex aka american apparel aka my crystal meth) and dark colours..
then again maybe its just the summer coming!
tee:H&M / sunnies:Ray Ban / bag:Primark / Harem Pants:Topshop / booties:Peacocks (for £4 3years ago!) 
Fuck leggings sincerely It feels amazing to let my nuts breathe!

Degree in D.I.Y

Oh Yesu Cristooo I cannot cope under the strain of academic expectations..
all i ever wanted to do in life, was sit biology(Key Stage 4)exams, eat whole nut dairy milks, have naps, buy shoes and live at the club.
But like a fool i fell into the education trap and now I'm trying to put off my final hand-in before graduation by doing some shoe DIY.
namely these wedges from Office that I don't actually love, but cost like 1p.. well £10 really. 
anywhoo a little old fabric, and some industrial strength glue, and hey presto...

shorts:Beyond Retro / belt:Primark / socks: Topshop
i'll most probably rock them with some pop socks.. you know, as an ironic commentary on the whole 'socks-and-sandals' debate that's still raging in the nursing homes of Essex..
ps.DO NOT judge my butt or my thighs.. i cant comment fully on the state of them due to the fact i'm suing the makers of Weetabix (kellogs?) for making them taste all yummy and addictive like crack.

Focus

i want to drink Chai Tea Latte's and paint my nails everyday
being in fulltime education is a severe hindrance on these plans

Maybe I will get a job
Get a job as a waitress
Maybe waiting tables in a diner
In some remote city down the highway

Knee Highs

when they lock me in the loony bin, i'll tell them where to go

Birkin Shmirkin

i will probably never own an Hermes Birkin bag 
*Le Sigh*
but i'll be damned if i don't try to find something else to fill it's absence from my life..
i found this "vintage" leather bag wedged under some old mouldy duvets in my shed and couldn't resist giving it a new home on my arm.. and in my heart
wearing bag:vintage / t-shirt:H&M / scarf:unknown / Disco Pants:American Apparel / wedges:Debenhams / jewels:Urban Outfitters and childhood trinkets / 
i don't know what look i was going for but Andre J said i looked sexy and that's all that matters right?!
ps.after my recent obsession with pastels can you believe i spent the first full spring day in all black errrythang?!

download it

Little J

people call us renegades 'cause we like living crazy
ps.hello there Alexander Wang shoes adorning this 16year old's feet.

RUMMAGE SCRUMMAGE

If anyone else was at the American Apparel warehouse sale on opening day (friday 2nd) i think you'll agree with me in stating just how lucky they were that there wasn't a mass death of London's PYT's. I'm amazed we managed to avoid any deaths,tramples,riots(only just), or serious injuries.
Needless to say the event was a FAIL and though it went ahead on Saturday morning, i hear the pilgrimage to 81 Brick Lane was a waste of time unless you're a Nu-Rave throwback in search of Acid Wash denim,jersey and spandex.
***
i got there saw all the kids, apologised to God in advance for what i would do to them if any of them got in the way of me and my lace unitard
after my silent 'open sesame' chanting didn't work,i had a fag and waited for the doors to be opened manually
eventually realised they were serious about not opening the doors when the police arrived
so Dani,Sophia and I bounced(after running in and out of the scrum a few times) to Oxford Street
 we had a fun time buying stuff from stores that weren't AMERICAN APPAREL.. until Dani remembered she needed some Disco Pants which reminded me of how much i love my Disco Pants.. and still love AA passionately despite how they endangered mine and many more lives in an attempt to get rid of dead stock.

Dont Believe The HYPE

Melina Matsoukas > Hype Williams
Hard > Massive Attack
I will say this only once (unless some other bonehead decides to hire this fool)
*Hype Williams' creative direction is redundant*
his recent works have been some of the most unfortunate contributions to music video
(Beyonce-Video Phone anyone?!)
what i don't understand is why he chooses to relentlessly FAIL so hard?
 And why he involves innocent people in his basic-budget-bitch endeavours?
 .I.just.dont.know.why.
i could be bias because I'm a massive fan of Melina Matsoukas, but my fan-dom aside, no one can deny her artistry behind the camera
 she's a woman in a male-dominated profession, she has a strong(sometimes debatable)vision and always delivers high quality videos that celebrate womanhood.. not parade them around like fools in barbie pink Lamborghini's (it this point i must enquire why AmberRose left her fulltime position bearding Kanye to partake in this tomfoolery?)
It's undeniable that Massive Attack is an attempt to recreate the militancy of the Melina-produced Hard 
what's also undeniable is that it FAILS miserably at doing so
ps.it probably doesn't help that the song is muito merda.. probably because Sean Garrett cant sing and Nicki Mingeface cannot rap.

This Is England

Outside it looks like this
but inside i feel like this..
well just the songs and the colours and the clothes.. Jem can keep all her emotions i have my own
wearing:jewels-Urban Outfitters / shirt-H&M / Leggings-NewLook / Combats-Primark
here's hoping spring/summer decides to rear its pretty self again so i can enjoy my entire collection of pastel-coloured mens shirts minus stupid scarves
till then i'll just keep dressing like a Jem and the Holograms reject and continue talking about cruising down the Blackwall Tunnel with the top down in my pastel pink Barbie Bentley with Lilac racing stripes
.real talk no gimmicks.
 O.O
