Of Flowers and Lies!

................................copyright by pine aple..........................
Oh, what a day!
 It seems like I´m back to life!
Spring is here, and I hope it came to stay :)
what I totally love about this years spring are the floral prints!
Je t´aime le vetements avec de fleurs! I´m not so much the person wearing it but I´d like some accsesoires featuring flowers... Anyway, In the last time there´s one person that´s so (in)famous and there´s no way around her anymore.
Lana Del Rey.
To be serious most of my friends hate her,
 but as I´m trying to be honest; here´s MY opinion:
So, first, Lana Del Rey is no real person. Well, just as much as pine aple is. Elizabeth Lizzy Grant built up an art-figure called Lana and it seems like it worked quite well. Lizzys music is one thing, Lanas image another, but you see, that´s not so far away from what sookie and me are doing.
Sookie and Pine Aple are no persons. They are our web-identity.
We gave them a name, an image and opinions but different to Del Rey we didn´t give
them a face to discuss about or a voice to judge about.
So, personaly I do not dislike her studio records. They´re not so much my style but they´re
actually not that bad at all. BUT: Lana Del Rey as the art-project to me is terribly interesting and well done.
your opinion? get talking & leave a comment :)

 Oh, and one of the dreamers left a comment and gave a recomendation on the
Pretty Little Liars - books and I need to say that they make addicted. Thanks for the tip!
The funny thing is it seems like I have a bit of all the characters inside me.
Aria, the different (my fav); Spencer, the achiever; 
Emily, the shy swimmer and even Hanna, the "social"...
Anyone read the books/followed the liars on tv?

Stay Green!

Bad Girls & Pancakes

Hey there, World and Wonderland! 
I recently found back to an old love of mine: Food :)
it sounds terribly stupid and somehow it is, but i discovered so many yummy sweet snacks...french toast, banana-kiwi-smoothies, waffles, pancakes, fresh orange juice, parfait and all their friends they'll be my valentine! Any personal food-favourites? Share the love - leave a comment! 

Oh, and then there's this second thing I'd love to date and he's even human...well, actually he's not.
I'm talking 'bout Carter Blume from katie alenders novel  
Bad Girls Don't Die
I'll just start from the beginning and give a short review.

The Plot:
When Alexis’s little sister Kasey becomes obsessed with an antique doll, Alexis thinks nothing of it. Kasey is a weird kid. Period. Alexis is considered weird, too, by the kids in her high school, by her parents, even by her own Goth friends. Things get weirder, though, when the old house they live in starts changing. Doors open and close by themselves; water boils on the unlit stove; and an unplugged air conditioner turns the house cold enough to see their breath in. Kasey is changing, too. Her blue eyes go green and she speaks in old-fashioned language, then forgets chunks of time.
Most disturbing of all is the dangerous new chip on Kasey’s shoulder. The formerly gentle, doll-loving child is gone, and the new Kasey is angry. Alexis is the only one who can stop her sister — but what if that green-eyed girl isn’t even Kasey anymore? 
(text from the back of the book)

I really liked the book and i loved the way alexis' made friends with people she actually didn't like. It is awesome how the book has this touch of the paranormal and k. allender made me fall in love with carter from his first word on and when he tells Alexis his secret i was so amazed 'cause of this huge amount of emotion in these few words. 

I highly recommend the book to people that like everything between thrillers and love stories. It's simply amazing. I'll be looking out for the sequel From Bad To Cursed.

Pretty Little Colourful Things

Hello World & Wonderland!
how time rushes...i´m sorry that i didn´t post anything last week. i simply was too stressed for a trip to wonderland but now i´m back and i need to keep you guys all up to date.
Well, school life was interesting the last time...and yes, geography, physics, math and french ARE thrilling but there´s a new hype that made my homeroom-class even a little more colourful than before. a little genius from my class started doing a pac-man-monster out of post-it-s some time ago and a few days later we had
POST-IT-FEVER!

inspired by the workers in france we started decorating
our windows and it has gotten more than a hype until now.
it´s like and addiction...even though it´s one of the healthiest ones we ever had ^^

a mega-nyang-cat is planned and i´ll keep you guys up to date concerning our sickness.

~Bonjour Janvier...!

Hello World & Wonderland!
a few weeks have passed since my last post (including christmas and new years eve) so here´s a little ketchup catch-up-post ^^ first of all me and sookie want to say thank you to all of you that participated in the christmas-special. that was great fun!

the last weeks i spent reading, drawing, photographing, daydreaming and listening to music. i found that the first few lines of the song "Good Feeling" (FloRida) really give me a good feeling.
other stuff i listen to at the moment:

i also highly recommend the book "The Art of the Disney Pricess" which shows disney princesses in completely new ways. and to be honest, every girl in this world has its own top 3 disney princesses  (mine are belle, tiana and rapunzel ^^). what´s your TOP 3?
greetings go to australia and france which have the pleasure to be the two places where some of my friends are right now and a "thank you" goes downtown to the friend that gave me the fake-snow visibe on the picture on top (it smells horrible but it works).

cooking-love also affected me (again) a week ago. that was when i made my first soufflé:
Blackberry-Choc-Souffle.
recipe following...somewhen -.-

stay tuned! 
Love&Rocketz
