Just love without pretense. Love without calculation. Love without a winner, love without a martyr, love like - I know you were hungry, I saved you half of my sandwich. Like - I know you hate silence, give me a second to get the music on. Like - move over, let's be alone together. Love like taking off your makeup. Like fresh cleaned sheets. Like: I see you and you see me.

“A FAT LITTLE GIRL is eight years old, she’s got pink cheeks that her grandmother calls chubby. She wants a second cookie but her aunt says “you’ll get huge if you keep eating.” She wants a dress and the woman in the changing room says “she’ll probably need a large in that.” She wants to have dessert and her waiter says “After all that dinner you just had? You must be really hungry!” and her parents laugh. A FAT LITTLE GIRL is eleven and she is picked second-to-last in gym class. She watches a cartoon and sees that everyone who is annoying is drawn with a big wide body, all sweaty and panting. At night she dreams she is swelling like the ocean over seabeds. When she wakes up, she skips school. A FAT LITTLE GIRL is thirteen and her friends are stick-thin ballerinas with valleys between their hipbones. She is instead developing the wide curves of her mother. She says she is thick but her friends argue that she’s “muscular” and for some reason this hurts worse than just admitting that she jiggles when she walks and she’ll never be a dancer. Eating seconds of anything feels like she’s breaking some unspoken rule. The word “indulgent” starts to go along with “food.” A FAT LITTLE GIRL is fourteen and she has stopped drinking soda and juice because they bloat you. She always takes the stairs. She fidgets when she has to sit still. Whenever she goes out for ice cream, she leaves half at the bottom - but someone else always leaves more and she feels like she’s falling. She pretends to like salad more than she does. She feels eyes burrowing through her body while she eats lunch. Kate Moss tells her nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, but she just feels like she is wilting. A FAT LITTLE GIRL is fifteen the first time her father says “you’re getting gaunt.” She rolls her eyes. She eats one meal a day but thinks she stays the same size. Every time she picks up a brownie she thinks of the people she sees on t.v. and every time she has cake, she thinks of the one million magazine articles on restricting calories. She used to have no idea a flat stomach was supposed to be beautiful until she saw advice on how to achieve it. She cuts back on everything. She controls. They tell her she’s getting too thin but she doesn’t believe it. A FAT LITTLE GIRL is sixteen and tearing herself into shreds in order for a thigh gap big enough to hush the screams in her head. She doesn’t “indulge,” ever. She can’t go out with friends, they expect her to eat. She damns her sweet tooth directly to hell. It’s coffee for breakfast and tea for lunch and if there’s dance that evening, two cups of water and then maybe an apple. She lies all the time until she thinks the words will rot her teeth. She dreams about food when she sleeps. Her aunt begs her to eat anything, even just a small cookie. They say, “One bite won’t make you fat, will it, darling?” A FAT LITTLE GIRL is seventeen and too sick to go to prom because she can’t stand up for very long. She thinks she wouldn’t look good in a dress anyway. Her nails are blue and not because they are painted. Her hair is too thin to do anything with. She’s tired all the time and always distracted. She once absently mentions the caloric value of grapes to the boy she is with and he looks at her like she’s gone insane and in that moment she realizes most people don’t have numbers constantly scrolling in their heads. She swallows hard and tries to figure out where it all went wrong, why more than a granola bar for a meal makes her feel sick, why she tastes disease and courts with death. She misses sleep. She misses being able to dream. She misses being herself instead of just being empty. A FAT LITTLE GIRL is twenty and writes poetry and is a healthy weight and still fights down the voices every single day. She puts food in her mouth and sometimes cries about it but more and more often feels good, feels balanced. Her cheeks are pink and they are chubby and soft and no longer growing slight fur. Her hair is long and it is beautiful. She still picks herself apart in the mirror, but she’s starting to get better about it. She wears the dress she likes even if it only fits her in a large and she doesn’t feel like a failure for it. She is falling in love with the fat on her hips. She is eating out with friends and not worrying about finding the lowest calorie item on the menu when she hears a mother tell her four year old daughter “You can’t have ice cream, we just had dinner. You don’t want to end up as a fat little girl.””

Lover (2019) by Taylor Swift

I wanted to imagine Lover as a quiet and longing album. The concept that I explored is what I call “starry night”. I imagined these songs sang into the evening and night and how the feel of them will change. It would depict sadness, hopefulness, and dreams.

excited for The Album coming out this week~

THE TAYLOR SWIFT COLLECTION — Promotion

The first stage of the advertising process of this event will be focused on the name Taylor has built through her entire career and how different each of her eras are (since this is what the collection is about). The first stage of advertisement will be murals promoting the event without pictures, her name speaks for herself and draws the attention that some celebrities can only catch when there’s a poster with their face and names. Taylor doesn’t need that correlation, people know who she is and what her name means. She’s also someone who enjoys surprising fans and generate expectation and excitement, so by keeping the information to the bare minimum it also sticks to her brand. The second stage starts to incorporate pictures, which only contain the logo of the event. The third stage will encapsulate different photoshoots Taylor has done over the years with the name of each album, it’s a small glimpse at what people can expect from the collection. The main concept of these posters consists in not showing Taylor’s face or ‘mainstream’ features of her career, the only piece of information that will connect the dots in this particular stage are the names of Taylor’s albums. Again, playing with things the audience know by heart with the elements of her life and career that are more of a ‘secret’ or more subtle.

@networkthirteen | take two event: cover redesigns ↳ folklore (2020)

folklore is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on July 24, 2019, through Republic Records. As an indie folk, alternative rock, electro-folk, and chamber pop album, Folklore marks a departure from the upbeat pop sound of Swift’s preceding studio albums to mellow tunes driven by piano and guitar. Written and recorded in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic, Swift called the album “a collection of songs and stories that flowed like a stream of consciousness” rising out of her imagination, manifesting vivid storytelling from largely third-person perspectives that detail introspection and escapism. The singer adopted a rustic, cottagecore aesthetic for the album.
