First Love

There was a time once in my life where i could watch any paris, milan, new york or london fashion week show and tell you the name of every single model that came down the catwalk. i miss those days, but school seems to have taken over and i found that music became a bigger part of my life leaving less time for other things. i guess because it was much less unattainable than what i saw every month in vogue. its sad really. i hope i get back to that place once more again some day.

but the point is i had a favourite and anyone who knew me between the years of 2004 and 2008 knew that i loved the australian model gemma ward:

i used to have arguments with people who said she looked like an alien.

i used to tell myself id marry one of her younger twin brothers so that i could be her sister.

i even knew that her best model friends were daria werbowy and lily donaldson:

it was an obsession to say the least which i grew out of. i wonder though, had she not given up modeling, would i still be obsessed with her?

So this post is a tribute to her. these are a few of my favourite pictures of her. i have memories attached to each of them, i could never explain it all to you. i doubt you'd understand.

youve got no idea how many times ive looked at that picture

i used to plaster these on my school text books

once she did this shoot at glastonbury so pretty much two of my most favorurite things in the world rolled into one epic ball of happpiness and love ... yeah

oh and ps - listen to 'stretch out and wait' by the smiths .... in fact anything by them just do it quickly before its too late
