when i first read the blog assignment for this week, i thought “oh that’s easy, tokyo. always tokyo.” because i grew up there. there’s a lot about the lifestyle that i already understand, and i thought the idea of living in my grandparents home and fixing it up while i work in the city as an artist sounded nice. alternatively though, i think i’d probably equally enjoy and actually consider moving to london for creative work.
there’s not a lot i know about the city other than what i see on love island uk, skins uk (tumblr era, iykyk) and chicken shop date, which probably aren’t fair assessments of what life is really like there.
when i was younger, i would pretend my sketchbook was my very own magazine. i’ve always dreamt of working for one (i romanticize having andy’s job at vogue in the devil wears prada, which was not the point of the movie) so that’s what first comes to mind.

i love dazed, i’d apply there, and probably nowhere else.
london is fast-paced, the people are witty and it rains a lot. i’d love to live there.
