I love this book by Courtney Love, well actually is not really a book. It is more like a collage, a collection of old photographs, journal entries, letters, poetry, handwritten song lyrics and notes. Love writes in her introduction: "I have always said that I would never write a book, and I really haven't." It's true—"diaries". I find it honest, intimate and bold! This “book” feels very unedited even if it is edited. Some people will probably find it provocative, dark maybe even distasteful, as some of the highlights include a suicide-note-like apology letter. There are some great pictures in it too and in my opinion it should be perceived as artwork rather than a coffee-table book. Dirty Blond is not for everyone but personally I find it inspirational and moving. I really like the visual layout and inspired to do something similar myself, a scrapbook that reflects my own triumphs, demons, dreams, past and persona. I'm endingthis post with a quote by another great blond :)
“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”
Wish you all a very good night and a beautiful weekend! XOXO Nicky ♡
I LOVE THE CHOICE OF TEXTS, COLLAGES AND PICTURES
