things i love.

So I am constantly saving pictures that I stumble across that I love and want to have in case I might *need* it some day. I decided to put them all together. Right here.


♥ Bettie Page Cartoon


This is actually the cover of Slayer's "Christ Illusion" done by Larry Carroll, who is quite the illusive artist. Try and find any of his other work, it's impossible!


Immodesty Blaize is an amazingly beautiful burlesque star. Her gown is made of newspapers! Love love love!


I'm a huge fan of Mexian art, especially those involving Dia de los Muertos skulls. This is just a part of a mural called Dream of a Sunday in Alameda Park done by Diego Rivera (see Frida & Diego in there) and features La Calavera Catrina in the middle.


This is another Dia de los Muertos inspired piece. I want to be this woman (at least for Halloween!). This is done by 666 Photography.


I don't remember where I found this one, but I love it. It was my desktop background for a while.


This photo is from Ellen Von Unwerth's Revenge. She's probably my favorite photographer. Revenge is an amazingly beautiful and erotic book of vintage-inspired photos. Sadly, I don't have the book, but you can see the rest of the pictures here.


These are three of Los Caprichos, Francisco de Goya's series of 80 drawings. They were made to be a satire of Spanish society in the 1790s. They are so dark and creepy, I'm obsessed! They translate to "They all will fall", "The sleep of reason produces monsters", "Hunting for teeth".


I was doing a Google search for something completely unrelated when I discovered this image. I'm not sure when this was taken. Real or staged- I'll just pretend it's a temperance poster. I'll also pretend all of these rad old ladies are straight edge. Love it!


Lara Stone. My second favorite model - I don't even like blonds but she is so gorgeous and has a real body. Can you imagine some people categorize her as "plus sized"?


My favorite model EVER, Omahyra Mota Garcia, shot by Ellen Von Unwerth from Omahyra and Boyd. Tattooed and androgynous. You may have seen her in Jay-Z's Change Clothes video, Baby Phat ads, and X-Men: The Last Stand.


Who doesn't love baby heads? I do! (stolen from a blog I forget, sorry!)


Dita Von Teese because she is one of my style icons. So glamorous!


This is probably one of the coolest pictures ever. I would love to have my portrait taken like this. I love Katherine Von Drachenberg, she's super hot, an amazing artist and her last name has part of my last name in it. Maybe we're distantly related?


And last (but certainly not least) The GaGa. Fashion icon who comes with ridiculously catchy music. She is openly bisexual and doing amazing things for both the gay community and to empower young women. This is one of my favorite outfits that she's worn.
