Chalk pastel portraits of characters from ‘The Hills’ by Karin Bubas. These are from her series ‘With Friends Like These…’ I love that they are all crying or frowning; it is a perfect representation of what the show portrays.

She has another series of watercolors of characters from ‘Dynasty’ that are amazing as well, along with some beautiful photography.

I’d forgotten these, I love them so much. I saw them exhibited at Emily Carr in Vancouver and had a postcard of the LC one over my desk at UBC for like a year.

"Heti has cited “The Hills,” the bygone MTV show about young people in Los Angeles, as one of the primary influences on “How Should a Person Be?” She tried to make Margaux and Sheila more like the girls on that show “than characters in a book,” she told one interviewer, and, indeed, the yellow-dress incident might have fit right into the series. More broadly, though, the novel shares with much reality television a kind of episodic aimlessness, and a focus on young, self-­involved characters who spend a lot of time thinking about how they look to other people."

‘How Should a Person Be?’ by Sheila Heti - NYTimes.com

This is a great review/I loved this book and want to talk about it/ I really take the influence of The Hills 100% seriously/ it’s like she distilled everything that was profound about that show (and some other stuff).

"FEEL THE RAIN ON YOUR SKIN
i don’t think i remember any other words to that song"

POP QUIZ: do you?

(via isabelthespy)

No one else can [something] for you, no one else, no one else.

That’s all I’ve got. (via jonathanbogart)

Staring at the blank page before
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
FEEL THE RAIN ON YOUR SKIN
No one else can feel it for you
only you can let it in
no one else, no one else
can speak the words on your lips
live your life with arms wide open
[something something] words unspoken
today is, where your book begins
the rest is still unwritten

…

I never even liked that song, but it was the theme to The Hills.
