Hi, I’m Alex. I’m a 22 year old education graduate from Canada. If you like fairy tales, whimsical things, Sailor Moon, vintage fashion, old movies, the Victorian era, good music, pin-ups, mean girls, harry potter, Disney, and have a weird sense of humor- then this blog is for you. I highly suggest that you check out my Mum’s vintage pattern site: www.sovintagepatterns.com And her Tumblr: http://sovintagepatterns.tumblr.com/ I’m also documenting my weightloss- I’ve been suffering from lazyness my whole life, and I’m taking steps to become fit. Height: 5’6 1/2 SW:170 Goal Weight One: 160 * Goal Weight Two: 150 * Goal Weight Three: 140 Ultimate Goal Weight: 130 Current Weight: 142.4 I have another tumblr dedicated to my retro and antique book collection: http://hauntedbooks.tumblr.com/Tumblr (3.0; @ice-creamcastles)http://ice-creamcastles.tumblr.com/““Real women have curves” was a marketing slogan thought up to sell people overpriced, ill-fitting pants. It does NOT promote body positivity – it only perpetuates body policing by turning the tables on people who don’t fit into yet another arbitrary ideal.<br/> The job is to BUST THE FUCKING PARADIGM APART, not shift it a little bit toward the fat side. The job is to remind people, bodies are not public property and your opinion about an individual’s body is only an opinion, not a valid judgment of their worth as a human being. The JOB is to destroy systemic oppression of nonconforming, rebellious bodies no matter what those bodies look like.”<br/><br/> - <em>(via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://blck-grrl.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">blck-grrl</a>)</em>http://ice-creamcastles.tumblr.com/post/24176160531http://ice-creamcastles.tumblr.com/post/24176160531Thu, 31 May 2012 23:46:50 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t01rU9s41qi86x2o1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t01rU9s41qi86x2o2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t01rU9s41qi86x2o3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t01rU9s41qi86x2o4_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://deductism.tumblr.com/post/24054905959/lornasp-cumberbuddy-screaming-inspired" target="_blank">deductism</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://lornasp.tumblr.com/post/24022020586" target="_blank">lornasp</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://cumberbuddy.tumblr.com/post/24021283994/screaming" target="_blank">cumberbuddy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>SCREAMING</p> </blockquote> <p>Inspired.</p> </blockquote> <p>CANNOT</p> </blockquote>http://ice-creamcastles.tumblr.com/post/24175529796http://ice-creamcastles.tumblr.com/post/24175529796Thu, 31 May 2012 23:35:18 -0400Sherlock Holmesfunny<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4w5wyyTmT1qfcroyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><p class="MsoListParagraph"><span><span></span></span>The Blue Angel</p> <p class="MsoListParagraph">2/50 pre-code</p> <p class="MsoListParagraph"><em> “Men cluster round me, like moths around a flame.
