Hello, my unexistant audience. I have been absent for a while now, but here I am again, back and alive.
I have a couple of things to tell you, and all of them are inspired by my re-discovery of the Vampire Chronicles of Anne Rice. I know there has been a vampire boom recently, that started with the Twilight saga. Now, I must confess that I didn't only read, but also greatly enjoyed it, as a (cery, very) guilty pleasure. I know it is kind of dumb and all, but, lets face it, the books are entertaining, and even when I've heard that its pages are full of grammatical and ortographical mistakes, those are not transmitted to the spanish version, so...The thing is, that the Vampire boom started all over the world, and the former fictions about campires where re-edited very succesfully. First I found a book called "Vampire diaries", but translated in spanish as "Crónicas Vampíricas", i.e "Vampire Chronicles" not Diaries, but well... I didn't like that book at all, it was just boring and the characters weren't well developed at all... Then I discovered that there was a TV series based on that saga, and I started watching it with my boyfriend, untill he got annoyed by it, and I must say I didn't missed the series either. But at last, quite recently actually, I was surfing through a virtual library and found some interesting books, that made me remember the small fragment that I've already read of "The Vampire Lestat", and so I started looking for Anne Rice's "Vampire Chronicles". Finally I found them, and I am now reading book number two... "The Vsmpire Lestat".I have past the barrier of what I had already read, and I'm now close to the end, but I must say that I remembered the story quite well after over 6 years, so I guess that the impression that it gave me the first time was quite a big one.Now in this second reading I have learned a lot about myself and my aesthetic vision in general, and that is what I wanted to talk to you guys about.
In first place, I can say that I like blond hair the best. Whenever a blonde vampire makes his or her appearrance on scene my heart increases it's rythm..
.

So I decided that I'm going to be blond even if it takes a lot of effort.
Next, by reading this book I have seen my pasion about celtic culture return to me with new force, so I must share this statement with you: I love celtic legends, and I want to learn about celtic culture as much as I can, because of the themes of their tales, the magic, the goddess, the faeries, the forests, and a lot lot more. Since this blog is called A Study of Myself and it is supposed to be a tool for me to investigate the strings that move my aesthetic vision of the world, and everything that I like about the celtic ways are related to that, I thought it was an important thought to share with you.
Now, reading book number 1 "Interview with the Vampire", I visualized Claudia as well as I could, and I had a vision of a Victorian doll... one thing lead to another, and I realized that the Lolita fashion kindda works for me... as disguises. I would not dress as a Lolita every day, or something, on the contrary, I think it would take a big, BIG costume party to make me wear a Lolita outfit, but I thoroughly enjoy watching cute girls dressed like that, or anime pictures of Lolita girls. I would also like to draw something of the sort, but I don't have the patience to wait for my drawing skills to improve to the point that I might actually like something that I've draw, so... I watch pictures :)
Finally, I couldn't wear black forever. Not even If I were a vampire, black is way too dull for me. I need some colour, and I don't yet understand why Lestat compromises with such an aesthetic "rule".
And that's it for today. This turned to be quite a large post!
The pictures were taken of my Deviant Art favourites, this is the link to get to them, and to the artist's pages. None of them are mine, but I couldn't tell you the names of the artists yet.
I hpoe tp see you soon, I've missed your imaginary responses to my tireless chat.
