Happy Birthday Laetitia Casta

Being an actress, model, and a symbol for France is probably too tall of an order for most mere mortals, but someone how Laetitia Casta manages her unique prestige.

You’re a phenomenon in every sense of the word and the world of cinema and fashion are so lucky to have you. Wishing you the grandest of all birthdays. Love and artistry.

鏡の前で君とまどろむ 薄紅の指先
その手は不意に弱さを見せて 唇をふさいだ

あの日 君と約束を交わした
今は二人 想い出せずに

退屈な歌に耳を傾け 窓の外見つめる
僕はドレスをまとい
踊って見せよう 狂ってるかい 教えて

いつか 風にさらわれてゆくだろう
今は二人 想い出せず

さぁ 安らかに
眠るように瞳閉じておくれよ
もう疲れたろ
演じること 夢見ることも全て

枯れた指が落ちる ずっと見つめてる
声にならないけど そっと呟いた

「すぐに行くよ」
蒼い部屋で逃れる術も知らず
月が満ちる前に そっと舞い降りて
波がさらって行く
ずっと「永遠さ」

ちぎれた体に救いはない?
クスリは悲しいだけ

Happy Birthday Linda Evangelista Vol. 5 (Through The Fire)

When I think of Linda Evangelista, it’s hard not to imagine a hero’s journey like that of Gladiator. It probably gets lost in the background noise Hollywood and celebrity, but I admire her character so much. I can’t believe how tough and resilient she is. It’s like comparing the tenacity and grit like the greatest ever Sugar Ray Robinson and all the heart Audrey Hepburn.

I can go on and on about how great Linda Evangelista is. There’s never going to be anything like her and technology can’t even replicate what she does as a fashion model. All those pictures and fashion moments are the stuff of legends, but it pals in comparison to Linda brilliant humanity that spurred it on.

Audrey would compare her fashion to the likes armor and she was like a warrior for love. I’m glad to see another legendary warrior take up the mantle for cause like no other. The toil of love. Happy Birthday Linda Evangelista. Wishing you love and the very best on journey of heroics.

I used to think I (I I) I knew love before I met ya
You love my defences down baby heeyeaheeheeay
I let you in in now to my heart
And you unlocked true you’re in me me here here babe

(You show me do it) Ooohooh yeaheayeah
(Show me you do do do) Take care of home home darling
(You show me you do me) Ooohooh yeah babe
(Show me you do do do)
(I was lost until I found you) I was lost
(Refuse to) I refuse to (Live without you)
As long as you are good to me me me me me me me

So hard to find true love baby
Don’t wanna live without you you
I know this love is forever
Cause it shows in every little thing (You do)
Always make a way to see love through

I was sitting here thinkin’ ’bout my situation
Though I know you got reservations
I was thinkin’ we could have it out
‘Cause if we had it out
I knew that we could work things out
I know the girlies gotta watch their reputations
They like to know they got a man with dedication
To make a point they gotta put ’em out
But truly, baby girl, don’t have to go out that route

I ain’t ever been down
I ain’t ever been out, no
And I ain’t ever hit rock bottom
‘Til the day you put me out
And I know I’ve done some wrong, yeah
But I ain’t ever hit rock bottom
So baby don’t count me out

I know you’re afraid of what you feel
You still need time to heal
I can help if you’ll only let me try
You have touched me and something in me knew
What I could have with you
Now I’m not ready to kiss that dream goodbye
When it’s this sweet there’s no saying no
I want you so I’m ready to go

Through the fire
To the limit, to the wall
For the chance to be with you, I’d gladly risk it all
Through the fire
To whatever come what may
For the chance to be with you, I’d take it all the way
Right down to the wire (Right down to the wire)
Even through the fire

I, I who have nothing
And I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I’m just a no one
With nothing to give you
But oh, ooh, I love you

I
Who have nothing

Nothing
I
Who have no one (No one)
Must watch you
(I will watch you, baby)
Go passing by
(But you don’t see me)
Wrapped in the arms of
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling it’s I (Who)
Really loves you, baby
(Really loves you, baby)
I’m the one
(I’m the one, I’m the one)

Happy Birthday Karmen Pedaru

There probably isn’t a more amazing model, person, and face of her own brand the likes of Karmen Pedaru. You’re every thing that’s cool about fashion and being a creative. You’re profoundly inspiring, and if a model could capture the magical era of the 90s and a band like Nirvana, it would be no one other than Karmen Pedaru. I hope your birthday is phenomenal and wishing all the love and success in the world. You are the things of dreams and stars.

I’m thinking of your wide open eyes
Smiling as they feed the nerves
That push the field of silver and the colorful lines
That only you could see like only you could do

I’m picturing a forcep in ice
That you would see if you could reach
And reconnect the engine to the delicate lens
But I just sit and wait for a blip to break the perfect little thin green line

“I’m thinking of your failing green eyes
Smiling as they greet the day”

And the coil sleeps
And you’ve been gathering angels
And fading further each day
I love you now as I never
Remember my face as it quietly makes your way

I dreamt of jet-less high
Seeing clouds from the other side
And rolling softly until the underbelly shines
And the back skims through the steam
Feeding upturned mouths and sprinkling away
A dusty sleep you took too soon
And you, you need watering if you are to bloom

Hum – If You Are To Bloom
