guest post: teenangster.
alison from teenangster is bringing you another fun post! All cats, all the time.
I never used to be a cat person: I was raised to be a wet nose squishing, puppy yawn breathing dog lover. My only familiarity with cats was chasing the feral kittens hiding in my grandma’s barn (I don’t remember ever catching one, though there is a yellowed photo of me in a tiny coat clutching a horrified kitten to my chest). Dream Cats made me a believer in the elegant allure of kitties: the arched backs, knowing stares, squished faces (enh!), and imagined tiny mews made my heart go pitter pat. Described as “girls & cats, cats in soft focus, cats on film, dream cats,” these artfully photographed felines — curated by the always awesome Anabela of fieldguided and Erin of atlantic treefox — show cats for their prowess, poetic quiet and general badassery. I’ve now got two little dream kitties of my own to snuggle and I couldn’t be happier.

guest post: teenangster.
today we’ve got a little bit of fun, albeit morbid curiosity from alison of the awesome blog, teenangster.
I’m a morbid sort of lady. While working as a library page I spent countless hours in the serial killer and prison section of the stacks reading up on jailhouse tattoos, murderers, pathological liars, weirdos and other sordid types.
I’m not sure I can really explain the appeal of those who’ve broken society’s rules; it’s just fascinating to read their stories from the safe distance of a book that can be closed, rather than an accompanying cell. This collection of mug shots shows the character and emotions of pickpockets, petty criminals and horse wranglers of the Old West that stood accused. I can’t help but wonder what became of them.

never too much turquoise.
i saw this fantastic and inspiring image (above) at vintage printable (which i found via design for mankind – thank you, erin!) and then i couldn’t help but notice all the turquoise that kept popping up in the sfgirlbybay flickr pool. so, i thought it might be a fun color study to seek out some more, and share a little bit of design inspiration in the form of that very ‘poppie’ color turquoise blue! thanks very much everyone, for including these inspiring images in the group!
love this antique chair with these modern-looking lockers from foundnowhome.
