So, I’m just totally disappointed.
And be prepared for a {completely non-fashion related} rant here.
First and foremost: This rant is about the book House of Leaves, if you haven’t read it- then please do not continue reading this post.
Go out- read the book- then come back and have your mind blown.
If on the other hand you have read the book, then hello to you, my new bff.
Ok, so assuming you listened above- you are reading this because you understand the things that I am about to say.
In House of Leaves, the house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, right? Remember?
Yes.
One of the chapter titles {of Johnny’s choosing, I assume, but can’t remember) is “I saw a film today, oh boy” which as we all remember is a line in The Beatles’, ‘A Day in the Life’. WHICH as we all remember is also a horrifyingly creepy song.
But this {aside from the creep factor} is so fucking interesting it’s unreal.
So one day, being the gigantic nerd I am, I was doing recreational research about the book and stumbled upon an essay written about this coincidence.
Apparently, with the release of Sgt. Pepper on vinyl, they {the Beatles collectively? I dunno} decided to etch a never-ending loop into the last ring of the album.
Making that album.
Essentially.
Bigger on
the inside
than it
is
on the
outside.
Which, with that knowledge explains my utter freak out last night when that song came on one of the albums my Dad just loaded on us {thanks again, Dad!}.
I was gonna hear it.
That never-ending loop.
Holy. Shit.
But of course, it wasn’t Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
It was The Beatles / 1967-1970.
Which promptly ends after the last song on both Side A and Side B.
Bottom Up:
Nude Pumps: Steve Madden Caryssa
Floral nude tights: Urban Outfitters
Skirt: Forever 21
Top: Thrifted GAP
Blazer: Thrifted
And if you care: I will be re-reading House of Leaves this Summer.
And if you fancy a mindfuck, you should too.
