Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. I know these pictures are completely unrelated to each other, but each one has some sort of mysterious quality that draws me to it and just makes me want to stare. Whether they are politically sensitive (ritual suicide of Vietnamese monk protesting war), majestic (Sitting Bull's portrait), full of raw energy (Crystal Castles concert) or just plain beautiful (the Cherry Blossom Girl's floral Doc Martens!) - I cannot really explain why I love them, I just do. So here you go. Posting magazine editorials is fruitless for me, because a single picture can capture so much more.

Mmm yes the photos are stirring, great choices.
whoah..where did you get the picture of the viet monk? i'm so intrigued; i wanna know mroe about it
i love the second and last photos.
the second cause i want her outfit and the last because...i don't know, its just striking.
when there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire.
That first one is so.....emphatic?
What an amazing set of pictures, the Vietnamese Monk photo gets me everytime, it's just so powerful.
I hope you have a wonderful christmas xoxo
I agree. I really love that picture from the Cherry Blossom Girl.
so true
My cousin had those floral docs in the mid/late nineties - so great! Just wanted to say Hi! also, been a long time reader of your blog and I just set up my own so I'll be adding you, your fashion sense is spot on! :)
aww i used have some doc Martins just like those floral ones when I was about 12...I should have never sold them at that garage sale ;/ hehe
Have a merry Christmas Hipster Musings!
I love Sitting Bull's portrait. Fantastic. And really, quite inspirational.
LADY Im so sorry! I lost my internet and havent been to your blog for a while, but now its back, and Im super duper happy, now I can scroll through your posts like a mad monkey.
Lovely photos. I couldn't agree more with the feelings these images project. My favourite is the one with the girl in her floral tights and Doc Martins! I have those boots too, but white with flowers. I would love to attain those tights as well.
