let's just get this out in the open: i get way way way jealous of ladies on the internet nowadays. they are so enviably twee. and let me also say this: i fucking love twee. camera obscura, los campesinos! winterkids, the postmarks, the positions, etc etc etc. but eventually you start growing up and there's less and less time for vintage pillbox hats and floral tights. that's when you turn to the internet to twee-out vicariously through the adorable fashions and mannerisms of those much cuter and happier than i.
now that we've gotten that out of the way, i can freely admit that i have been majorly internet stalking this lady named frl. zucker for the LONGEST. she's so cute, my bones ache whenever i go to her blog, DEAR DIARY;. but it's a good hurt, like in that episode of weeds when shane gets shot and doesn't want to take any painkillers. this making sense? GOOD GREAT WONDERFUL. anyway, she's totally the business and a side of rice and beans because she's a lovely little feminist with a whimsical sense of style and illustrations that make me cry so hard out of happiness that blood pools in the corners of my eyes. (MEDICAL CONDITION THANKS LEAVE IT ALONE). plus she loves bikini kill and harry potter. AND she makes little zines you can color in (shown above)! and they're only eight dollars if you live in the US. way cheaper than the indie rock coloring book that someone should really purchase for me for christmas. she's basically the person i want to be but never was because i don't have the balls and none of my friends dress like that and it'd just be like WAY TO STICK OUT like the sorest fucking thumb in the city, erika!!!
but anyway look at me just prattling on. here are some of her precious drawings! PHOTO EVIDENCE that compels you to want to make snow angels in pink chalk dust and spun sugar!
how seriously fucking cute is this?! HOW CUTE?! i want to know this drawing in real life and get strawberry milkshakes with it at the soda fountain! i don't even like milkshakes!!!
she has a bike name gwenog jones! and it has a bell and a basket and a mirror. SWOON I DIE THE END.
LE MOTHERFUCKING SIGH.
is it weird to dream of being frl. zucker? is it okay to wear yellow tights in the US? is there some kind of shelf life and/or domestic dis/approval for yellow tights? will i even live past 2012? all things to consider here! but in the meantime, feel free to head to this lovely lady's blog, put your cheek in your palm, and sigh till your lungs fall out. because that's what i'll be doing? yeah, because that's what i'll be doing.

oh wow. she is amazing!
I'm sure that if you were that girl crying and she pat you on the back, you'd just cry even more, except out of happiness.
um, hi. :) a friend just showed me this, and wow, I AM BLUSHING. but i don't know, i guess the internet makes me look really cool maybe, but anything i can be you can be too, remember that! ♥
thank you! i will remember that. you're just such an inspiration to me! xoxo
oh and ps. i used to stick out like the sorest thumb too bwaha! everyone at my school, and i mean LITERALLY everyone knew me as the girl with the pink basket (i had this pink plastic basket i used as a bag for all my books, lunchbox etc). even my little brother was known as the brother of the girl with the pink basket. bwahaha. :D now i moved to a bigger city and the pink basket sits on my shelf, covered with dust...
I love frl.zucker! Her blog is amazing and she is just the cutest. Love love love <3
