Weetzie Bat:

"Love is a dangerous angel" -Dirk
A kiss about apple pie a la mode with the vanilla creaminess melting in the pie heat. A kiss about chocolate when you haven't eaten chocolate in a year. A kiss about palm trees speeding by, trailing pink clouds when you drive down the Strip sizzling with champagne. A kiss about spotlights fanning the sky and the swollen sea spilling like tears all over your legs.

I just needed him to see me, feel what I felt. I just needed to dance for him and like like this by the sea, with our tiny blue ark for when the flood came.

"But I won't eat all that candy Hansel and Gretel ate. I will be thin and pure like a glass cup. Empty. Pure as light. Music."

If there was going to be beauty she would have to make it herself. - The Canyon
He held me fiercely, not the way I'd expected. As if we had this single night of reprieve before one of us had to go back down forever. - Orpheus


Wasteland:

"You remember the ones who die when you're a kid. You remember them because it's so out of control and it reminds you that it's not just old people even though you feel in a million years nothing could happen to you."
 
How to (Un)Cage a Girl

your own glamour

(even if she is just pretending) 
has everything...."
