sleep with books under your pillow

School is out and after I threw all my papers in the air and proceeded to skip down State Street singing "We Go Together"(see Grease for pop culture reference), I headed to library - Poetry and surrealism studies continue (best combined in the Surrealist Painters and Poets: An Anthology by Mary Ann Caws).

And then there is Alan Ginsberg and William Blake...let's be honest at time I have no clue what they are talking about, but the simply the sound of it can be satisfying, yes, I am the roommate that plays Tupac in the morning and is reading Ginsberg aloud in the evening. Lucky roommates I have.

In addition to the poets I got 

This book is a lovely way to combine both my vice and my schooling. As I've always said I could talk to you for hours about fashion history and maybe, about 10 minutes about art history. As I was looking through I came across this photo from  Dali's film Venusberg (1939)

and all I could think about was Tim Walker's photo in one of last seasons fashion editorials.

Not the same, but could be cousins. 

"The 20th century has begun to realize that most of life's meaning is lost without play_____In play the mind is prepared to accept the unimagined and incredible, to enter a world where different laws apply, to be free, unfettered"
- Eileen Agar, Am I Surrealist?
