I GOT TO TAKE THIS ONE HOME WITH ME! Shout out to the #macys employee who gave me 30% off so I got it for $14, but thanks above all to @reyes_pedinp who spoils me. I’m in general not a leopard print girl, I usually feel it’s for busted-up 45 year old suburban soccer mom divorcees who are looking for a boy-toy—but look, what fits my personality more than a leopard’s spots? (That was also my favorite #rudyardkipling #justsostories growing up—“How The Leopard Got His Spots”). The cut (especially the neckline y’all were thinking it & I admit it) of the top plus the darker tone of coloring I think appealed to me. Also I must admit I was thinking of #nastassjakinski in #paulschrader’s #catpeople as well (that movie plus the original film is my aesthetic okay? Psychological horror surrounding sex? I’m there okay?) #hippierose (at The Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvW29KTgb0W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17sp2ik2qnnoz

A Just So Story...
My son had an assignment to make his own just so story. One of those enchanted make believe stories, about how an animal got a specific feature… have you heard of this?? Rudyard Kipling did them.. It was one of the funniest things I have gotten to do with him and his school work!! I had such a good time with him, thinking about characters and what was going to happen to them, I had to be careful I didn’t take over completely and let him think up his own ideas!! It dawned on me, I have this passion for imagining stories, providing i get the right direction and structure for creating them. I think I found something I may be really good at?! My son enjoyed it too but perhaps not as much?! So here I am on Tumbler too.. I’ve started thinking about writing a short story for both my children. I have a little girl who is 5 and my son who is 10.. They are the loves of my life and I’m complete because of them.. They are perfect in every way.. What better idea than writing them both a story?! So, I have been asking them all kinds of question’s; “What’s your favourite colour”.. “What’s your favourite food.. name… etc, etc” I’m excited to see where it takes me and perhaps I can share them here later? In my school days, I realised how much I loved to act on stage.. I was sure I would become an actress someday.. unfortunately, I took different paths and didn’t pursue that much longer after leaving college. I do remember, creating plays and getting awards for my achievements, plus great grades in Drama and English. Yes. I think this has been my destination.. To write. I had a great imagination doing performing arts, I hope I can show that in my writing too.

Just So Stories (1902) by #rudyardkipling, first printing beautifully bound in full #vellum, stamped in #gilt, with white silk ties. These stories originated as bedtime stories Kipling told to his daughter, so named because if he didn’t tell them “just so,” he would have to start over. #finebinding #bookbinding #firstedition #rarebooks ##justsostories #kipling (at B & B Rare Books, Ltd.) https://www.instagram.com/bbrarebooks/p/BwpCKi0A1Be/?igshid=1k9uwu4z7el6l

2/5 ⭐️ Checkout my review of Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling on my blog (link in bio). This book has 12 different stories about all different kinds of animals. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy all of the stories. . . . #lovereading #bookish #booklove #readstagram #vscocam #totalbooknerd #yabooks #yalit #bookishthings #reader #bookstagramfeature #bookblogger #blogger #bookish #readmore #bookishfeatures #bookphotography #bookstagram #bookworm #bookaholic #review #bookreview #rudyardkipling #justsostories #puffin #puffinclassics #thejunglebook #childrensclassics
