Envy

Envy is a feeling of jealousy towards someone who may achieve or possess superiority, it is said to be "a universal and most unfortunate aspect of human nature because not only is the envious person rendered unhappy by envy, but also wishes to inflict misfortune on others" It was a bit more difficult to capture envy because all I could really do was throw a green shirt over Candida's head and put eye shadow on her face, green does bring out her eyes though.

Vanity

   

This time she was in my old bridesmaid dress looking like a beauty pageant queen. Cause she's only a child mannequin it reminded me of the Little Miss Sunshine competition from the film of the same name, I love that, Olive's performance makes me laugh every time. Anyway this was for Vanity which I discovered is said to be the devil's favourite sin and those who suffer believe themselves to be greater than God, neglecting his power for the affection of their own image.

Lust

    

   

I just need to point out that I'm not trying to suggest anything by using a child mannequin in these photos, this is simply the only mannequin I own and particularly in these lust photos I am NOT promoting or condoning any form of activities I am merely acting out a deadly SIN and used the same mannequin as photographed in the other sins to complete a continuous theme. Even if I was to hint at any sort of message it would be one that related to Anna Richardson's campaign of Stop Pimping Our Kids as a way to symbolize that dressing young children in adult-like clothes is obviously concerning. Also, the representation of me in these photos is not at all correct of how I actually am, I was simply in character and in costume for artistic purposes. Rant over.

Molly's Lips

My favourite Nirvana song from my favourite Nirvana album.

It's a Vaselines cover but I love what they've done with it and it compliments the entire sound of the album. John Peel's son Tom started his 6Music show with it this afternoon and then everything was good. He's sitting in for Huey Morgan at the minute and although I'm finding things a little difficult without him, I've decided I really like Tom cause he's talking about hair. Plus I've taken a big shine to the bird man that comes on and talks about owls, he makes me so happy.

I saw Shonen Knife last night and they were absolutely AMAZING. As I was only there through hearing that Kurt Cobain was a fan, I didn't really know what to expect, then there they were swishing their hair, waving their towels, singing about cats and Sushi and doing really, really good Ramones covers. And I was totally hooked. From the instant they walked on stage up until now I haven't stopped smiling, they're energy was off the scale and as the only all female Japanese punk rock band they act as an inspirational milestone in music. Lesson learned: going to see a band you've never heard of just based on hype and well known fans can sometimes reaaally really pay off <3

Kurt Cobain:

"When I finally got to see them live, I was transformed into a hysterical nine-year-old girl at a Beatles concert"
