Ever feel like you're being watched?




Yum


I've thought long and hard about this, and I've decided....


....I want to be an ice-cream truck driver when I grow up.

No Joke


I went to a friend's wedding, and my food was served looking like this. I swear to god I didn't touch it. But....needless to say, it needed to be documented.

Young and Old


Leah and Ezra

Anarchy


Paul Newman


...That is all.

Robert Redford


He traveled across europe by himself looking to live as an artist... And just happened to become world-famous for being an immensely talented actor. He didnt take any crap. ...Not to mention his devastating face. But if I could find a guy who just dressed like Robert Redford, I would be satisfied. ...hehe

Kitties and Springtime


Bloody Noses


Here comes the dry air.... ughhh

Wings


Torture


Bullet


Photostrips


I love love love them. You sit in a cramped space and pay like 6 bucks for pictures that you know are going to come out hideous. so, I ask myself... How can they possibly be so much fun? Why do I keep going back? One of life's big questions. Right up there with what happens when we die.

Message to all- Have fun with Sammiches


Windows


Is it just me, or do the most profound thoughts always pop up when you're looking out the window of a car or train or some sort of transportation? Car windows are inescapably linked to daydreaming, which is in itself linked to random profound thought. lets all take a few minutes to look out a window displaying fast-moving landscape and get lost for awhile.

Clive Owen


Seriously. Is there anyone cooler? Who else has delivered a baby and had a gun fight simultaneously in not one, but two separate films?

Morning Hair


BLAH!

The Hendrix Apple

An old painting of mine that I did at like 4 in the morning under bizarre fleeting inspiration. To the ever-so-beloved Jimi. Too bad you were such a druggie.

I'm actually posting this

Really.

Hey


Turns out there's an actual Mojo Marinade. Fill a bathtub with it, hop in, and 12 hours later you're Chuck Norris!! (AND its only 69 cents a bottle. Is that a deal, or is that a deal?)

RISD, oh, how i miss thee


From one of my classes at Rhode Island School of Design a couple summers ago. I had the best teachers ever. And I made friends with the dude who worked at the cafe across the street. We had the same Beatles shirt. Good times.

Warmth and Color

It was warm again today. So beautiful. I still wore a scarf to go walking, but regardless, it was lovely. These are the days that Autumn wins my vote for most gorgeous season.

Dreadlocks


Officially one of the best things anyone ever came up with. Seriously.

Blondes


Blondes have more fun- and then die of HIV. hehe. My brief year as a blonde was quite the experiment, interesting, yes. I had first long blonde hair (guys do notice you more, its insanity) and then long blonde dreadlocks, which was pretty B.A. if you ask me. Then I had boy-short blonde hair, before growing it back out to my natural color of dark brown. whew! Do I ever stop going on about hair?

Tea- It makes everything better

The only thing that makes me feel better than a generously large, warm cup of tea... is a generously large, warm cup of tea with a ton of honey. So wonderful. Yay for bees.

A pick-me-up


Be happy!

Hair Again


I'm a loon. I cant seem to keep one hairstyle for more than a few weeks. Its nutty...

Awkward


How is it that painting uneven cat eyes on my face always seems to make me feel better? ...I'm strangely easy to please.

Oh by the way


I'm a vampire! Not really... but despite all my efforts to avoid it, i started reading the ever-so-popular Twilight saga the other day. Needless to say I read the first 2 books in 3 days. I'm on the 3rd now. I'm somewhat ashamed of my addiction... deep down, i think i have some fangirl in me. ><

Bye, kiddo


Life can be so similar to a film strip when you're not paying attention. or when you're paying too much.

Also


Laughing at someone else's expense never gets old, does it?

Happiness after snow could only be due to....


Breakfast! That most delightful of meals.. My sweet tooth has immense power over my mood, even in the face of snow. Plus, its sunny this morning! Yay!

Damn you, snow


It snowed last night. SNOW. Completely unfair. This winteryness is ruining my autumn! It's only been fall for like 3 weeks and its already snowing? I think not! I'm writing the clouds about this monstrous behavior. I, for one, would love to simply skip winter altogether and trudge on to spring. Sound good? Alrighty then.

Hurray for pampering yourself although...


You know you dont deserve it. I love massages. I love getting my nails done. I love the smell of new shampoo and the comfort of new fuzzy boots. Everyone likes pampering themselves a bit, right? Even if it's just a cup of tea with extra honey. But sometimes...the best part about making yourself happy in that little way.... is you know you dont deserve it one bit! We're all naughty little suckers, and that bubblebath is a scrumptious little treat specifically designed to make us think we're being kind to ourselves because we have such difficult lives.... but deep down we know the truth. hehe

My most recent obsession


So, yesterday was fascinating. It started when I ventured off to King Richard's Faire (http://kingrichardsfaire.net/) with my good friend Marissa and a few other interesting companions. Well, me and Rissa were off on our own before long, and after a long day of ooohs and aaahs, being stripped and outfitted in leather and velvet wench ware, having everyone call us 'milady' and being propositioned ten or eleven times, we happened across a peculiar man with a curled-at-the-ends mustache conspicuously sharpied on his face, over-the-knee leather boots and a long, dangerous-looking whip. He stood on a wooden stage and waited for his audience to gather into a sufficient lot. We tore our eyes away from him, looked at each other, and immediately took a seat. He spoke in a fake french accent. He cracked his whip. He picked a large, burly man from the audience to be his assistant, and dubbed him Fifi. He was absolute dynamite. At the end of the show, we were officially hooked. I placed five bucks in his money hat along with two roses. To which he replied "oh, merci, merci, madam!" Then my realization hit me: I had left my heart with a mustached man with a whip. Not good.

So, this is absolutely necessary


I was inspired by asofterworld.com to make my own little silly photo-comics. enjoy!

Skinny Girls


So, I've recently discovered an obsession for all things Agyness Deyn. And along with that, I'd like to take a moment to appreciate all the shmexy girls who rock short locks. Among these

Keira Knightley, Edie Sedgwick, Shannyn Sassomon, Twiggy, Winona Ryder, Omahyra, Sherri Dupree, Pixie Geldof, Natalie Portman, And Agyness, of course. Not to mention countless other lovely ladies. Yay for short hair!



Hello, Internet

It is I, Joelle Roux. Here to spew onto these figurative pages the details of my adventures, whether physical or simply yanked out of my wee brain. What is to come of this, I'm not entirely sure, but hopefully it will provide a bit of comical warmth (or something of consequence, at least) to someone or other.
To many adventures to come!
