I think some of the pieces, like this one, this month will be important to me, like when I’m 38.
Because right now I keep worrying about whether I ought to do what I really want with my life or is I’m too cowardly for it.
But these remind me of how much fun and how great creativity is.
You’re not a coward.
If you were a coward, you wouldn’t even be daring to ask that question of yourself.
I totally know what you mean. I’ve been unsure about studying acting for ages, due to stage fright, self-conciousness (blah blah blah) but I’m going to go for it! Because I figure that’s the only way those things are going to get better, as well as because I’ve been obsessed with acting since I was nine :)
for those who live that soliloquy. oh hamlet your so whiny
Great photos, I really like the frames and the ‘aura’ that they have!
These are wonderful. The world truly is a stage, and you’ve captured some of the best scenes.
wow, I really love hamlet and quote there made smile. That soliloquy is me everyday. so angsty man. XD
Oh, Hamlet…. Haha everybody should go here and laugh your butt off about Hamlet.
This looks like the coolest Shakespeare production ever! And I really like the frames :)
I love those picture frames so much! and great photos!
beautuful pics!
you should post something about opera this month. there’s nothing more beautifully dramatic. <3
this collages and frames are amazing and super super super inspirational!
This album just reminds me of all the crazy drama kids I’m friends with!
Also the quote “All the world’s a stage” is actually from As You Like It, not Hamlet. Though both are great plays :)
I think that they mean ‘Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all’ which is from Hamlet.
All the world’s a stage is from AYLI though :)
Great, great frames, I feel so inspired! When I see that photo albums are only 10 pictures long I feel sad bc they’re so few but these are SO good that I didn’t feel a single more picture was needed to add to the magic. Quality over quantity
Gorgeous pics…I’m such a theater nerd *-*
And I want the dress in picture # 10. I do.
luvitttt
These are so amazing!!!! I absolutely love #7!!!!!! So much!!!!
Wow! LOVE the eleventh photo, these are amazing.
I’m getting a 404 error on the next article …
On “The Drama I’d Been Craving”? Hmm, have you tried opening it in another browser? (Sometimes that helps, I don’t know why.)
I’m using Safari and I’m getting the same 404 “this page does not exist” error.
OK, I’m going to look into it. Sorry about this!
omg these are wonderful! i love the embellishments!!
Lauren always kills it, I love this so much
Lauren Poor? More like Lauren Rich. As in RICH WITH TALENT! HAHA RIGHT GUYS!?
…guys?
lol i laughed even though this is a common joke for poors ; )
Love these! So pretty and dramatic.
Totally obsessed. Lauren Poor is a genius.
So so so amazing!!!!
OMG #7!!!!! uhgg i love u! your photos always have a certain feel to them like i could recognize them anywhere
Oh that last one! I am in love!
Lauren, you’re the successor to the Kenneth Anger throne.
It’s photo shoots like this that remind me why i love Rookie so damn much. The eyeliner! The blush! The rejection of traditional gender roles! I really do love Rookie. Y’all are such a great thing in the sea of gross teen mags.
wow these are amazing, i wish i could be courageous enough to wear something like this. i love amazing original clothes but i constantly allow the fear of what other people think get in the way of expressing myself. cowardice was never an admirable trait, and i deplore it in myself.
This is one of the most original ideas Ive seen in a long time.
I love this with my whole heart
Beautiful photos. Everyone already said everything i wanted to, but…7th reminds me of myself a lot.
Allllll of these make my heart melt, but #7 is my fave <3
lauren never ceases to inspire me, this is so perfect
The Makeup <3
