Another year, another party.

I spent New Years at a friend's house upstate. I saw a lot of old friends I haven't see in years. We busted out the infamous red cups, watched the ball drop on television and continued to party till the sun came out. I really do love a big house party. Happy 2010! I hope you all have a better year than the last :)

I'm the pretty prince of parties

The "big" snow storm that all the news channels were keeping an eye on. I think we only got an inch, tops. I love and hate snow. Its pretty the first day and then it gets ugly and dirty after that. The Wind Cries Mary by Jimi Hendrix. A classic and beautiful song. It was on the radio today and I went home and added to my youtube favs. I've keep listening to it over and over again.

once again, somebody was up to no good.

Hat from H&M, shirt from 2%, stockings are vintage

Lovage: To Catch A Thief Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By is one of my top favorite albums. Every single track is off the hook! It feels like something that should be in a Quentin Tarantino flick. I should have embed the whole album but I decided to not go over board. I picked by playing Eeeny, meeny, miny, moe ;)

i have a thing for abandoned buildings.

Letchworth Village. Built in 1909. Opened in 1911. Shut down in 1996 A facility for feeble minded and epileptics.

This hospital housed patients with serious mental illness. Back then people didn't know what to do with their children because they simple didn't understand what a mental illness was. They were sent to Letchworth Village because they thought it was for the best. During the 90's there was a news break and they found out that patients have been treated horribly. Women were being raped and forced to get abortions. Some patients were taken home by the staff to make them do work around their house. Since it shut down this place has been a place for kids to get drunk, gang meetings, paint ball fights and the homeless to sleep. Its been set on fire a few times and vandalized in every way possible. Everything is still there. From documents of patients who were admitted there to laundry baskets filled with dirty linen. The whole places seems as though people just got up one day and never came back. Its an eerie place and yet so interesting. I've been there in 90 degree weather and the inside of the building is so cold, its like winter. I believe there are spirits still trapped in there.
