Remember that scene in Lolita where Humbert Humbert is left alone with Lo before she goes away to sumer camp and he’s overwhelmed by erotic desire (that’s really most of the book if someone asks, driving across the country, being erotically desirous, which is different from On The Road which is about driving around the country, eating sandwiches) and in this moment that leads me to believe that he and I read ‘Annabel Lee’ very differently, he licks her eyeball? And it’s very disturbing because “spittle in the eyeball!” and also, “pedophilia!”
Now imagine how that scene would have played out if Lolita had invested in some ($15) eyelash jewelry. Answer: weirder. – via Cupcakes Take The Cake. More »

Confession: I am the child of an Avon lady. When I was in fifth grade, she pulled out her color wheel, informed me that I was a “summer,” and forbid me to ever wear yellow (I have since rebelled with a number of butter-colored dresses). Sometime around junior high, she plucked my eyebrows for me. I cried, my whole browline swelled and turned an angry red … and my brows have been shrinking ever since.
After that first… More »
