My daughters are back to school, holydays are oficially over and coming back to my ordinary life gives me both coffee nausea and a sort of thrill about what is going to happen next...
A new love? New career opportunities?
Let's wait and see... meanwhile I feel romantic and lazy (crazy?) and after reading in your comments to my last post how many 30 plus women read ROOKIEMAG, I feel inspired to do a sort of teenage spirit photoshoot (too bad that my 6 years old photographer wasn't there today and all comes out blurry..)
I always dreamed to be a Prom queen...

I'm wearing my favourite vintage dress, belt and skirt, sorry if reblogged, but I already say that I feel strange..
Lots and lots of bangles and bracelets as seen in "The virgin suicides"
I love your prom queen look. I love the courtney .gif too - it's amazing. Is thie inspiration for a new art piece? I hope so!
ReplyDeleteLove your look and Courtney "rocks" the proom look!
ReplyDeleteLove that dress it's wonderful...your prom look is top, love that!! Am pleased you enjoyed Parma Vintage, you can buy anything from their ASOS page just now until their website launches official, but I agree the mix of old and modern is too good and so much fun :)) Have a sweet day flower xx
ReplyDeleteProms weren't a feature of my school days, though they have been adopted by schools in the UK now. You rock the sexy grown-up Prom Queen look, your dress is just fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSo what IS going to happen next??? xxxxx
I never got the Courtney/Carrie connection before. That's almost the same dress. Prom was not cool with my crowd. Hippies didn't prom! We sulked about not getting asked, making rude comments about how lame it was. "Sulking" and "Rude comments", I kind of sucked as a hippie, but made a really good punk. One day I wrapped a scarf around my wrist and somebody I didn't know asked if I'd slit my wrist, the cheek! Of course I hadn't
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a prom in my school, so I went to my best friend's prom instead. It was the '80's and back then everything was over the top. I had my mom make a simple black satin strapless, and I wore black pumps and a strand of pearls. I remember the French teacher being impressed, saying it was classic. I remember being horrified at how lousy a dancer I was.
ReplyDeleteTavi is a genius, she adds so much substance to the issue of fashion, so I'm not surprised she resonated with all ages.
My boyfriend has even heard of her- we were talking about how big the Rookie is in the bloggersphere and for good reason.
I LOVE THIS!!! perfect!
ReplyDeleteYou are the best queen there is.
ReplyDeleteNo prom queens is Spain, thank go.

So many things I love about this post. I just adore your concepts. I can't believe how young Kirsten Dunst looks in The Virgin Suicides. I was obsessed with the film and the book but it only seems like it was a few years ago. One of my favourite looks of Courtney's is the raggedy doll prom queen and I had never got on to the similarity with Carrie either. Thank you for another visual feast. I hope your girls are settling back into school life ok? I'm intruiged to know what your next move is. Come on, share with us!! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about being an adult is that you can decide for yourself, and be a Promqueen every day - which you can handle radiant!
ReplyDeleteLove all these things, Courtney, Carrie and the Virgin Suicides, your dress reminds me of a maxi dress I had when I was a kid too, and I loved wearing it. The influences you pick are the kinds of things that stir up so many feelings in a way that's really hard to define. xx
ReplyDeleteSeeing you today has given me such a pick-me-up. I simply do not know what I would do without your posts in my life ... you are looking so magical and I absolutely do not mind re-blogged pics, I could look at this gorgeous ensemble all day! You make me want to grow my hair again and I'm drooling over your bangles ... I feel a Virgin Suicides re-watch coming on. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoox
ReplyDeletefabulousness overdose!!! and i wish i could go back to high school now!!! and i adore this floral dream frock on you. with the amazing headband you kinda remind me a little bit of an egyptian godess or cleopatra;) very gorgous darling!
Deletekiss,mary
Love this. I've always been fascinated by the concept of the prom, ever since I first watched Grease and Pretty in Pink. I'm not sure anyone would have chucked a bucket of blood at me, but I certainly wouldn't have been prom queen!
ReplyDeleteI love this prom queen post - its something we don't do in this part of the world but I've always found it quite fascinating! I love your pretty dress. Also thanks for your lovely comments on my photos from Auckland :)
ReplyDeletegreat movies <3 love Ur outfit, it´s such a happy outfit :)
ReplyDeleteYou are far more beautiful than those other prom queens. I love your dress, I could look at you in it every day!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't have proms when I was at school but I went to an all-girls' school so it probably wouldn't have been much fun anyway! xxx
Oh great post! Rookie sure makes me nostalgic for my teens - love it. I think I'm finally over the fact that I'm way out of their demographic! xx
ReplyDeleteThat dress is fabulous. I love stacking on tons of bangles. It makes me feel like a kid.
ReplyDeleteHoly SHIT there are some amazing images here!!!
ReplyDeleteI loved Carrie, I was a little obsessed with that film, and also the Damien films...I had a phase,ok?!
Sissy did look totally beautiful, and who can forget her dirty pillows?!
Courtney rocks,Lucy is going to be all over these pix!
You,my dear,are just divinely gorgeous!!! We didn't do proms in Australia when I was a schoolgirl.We had a sort of end of year bash, but nothing like the American prom.I've heard of Rookie mag, don't read it, but think tavi is frigging amazing!She's going to be an incredible adult!Wish I was that cool at such a young age..well, now, really!!!
XXXXXXXXXXXX
This post rocks as do all the ones you do, the images explode across my screen and are a welcome homecoming for sure. I love the mix mash up you always do of beauty and a bit of horror. I love your Prom Queen look and your arm full of candy is yum! You are the most beautiful Prom Queen EVER! Courtney Love needs a bath in pigs blood, seems fitting right?! I wore a red leather dress to my senior prom and it was the only dance I ever attended. My boyfriend didn't go so I went with a friend but hooked up with him later....spent the night in his VW bus....ahhhh it was a good night of memories.
ReplyDeleteI've missed you my dear! We talked about you at the meet up and wished you were there!
LOVEYOU!!!!
Krista
Ooh I love love love this - Carrie and Courtney and the virgins and tulle and then your etheral exquisite beauty - I love it all! I would so love to dress you up in a huge baby pink prom dress and a fuck off tiara, way too much eyeliner and take you out to a forest with a bucket of blood for a fabulous gothic photo shoot... let's DO IT! You are so frickin beautiful. Love you more than tutus! Sarah xxx
