His faults are more commonly those of self-indulgence, thoughtlessness, vanity and procrastination, and these usually go hand-in-hand with generosity, love and charity; for it is not enough to be one’s self in Bohemia, one must allow others to be themselves, as well. ...
What, then, is it that makes this mystical empire of Bohemia unique, and what is the charm of its mental fairyland? It is this: there are no roads in all Bohemia! One must choose and find one’s own path, be one’s own self, live one’s own life.
La Vie Boheme, the name of
my last post, comes from
the name of an amazing
song from the movie
RENT, one of my all time
favourites off broadway.
You all know, of course of the style of "boho". It's not very big in Hong Kong, but every so often, you'll see some vagabond-looking chick, in the middle of the city, carrying nothing but a guitar and wearing old gladiator sandals, and a long maxi dress with beads and shit everywhere. Just kidding, Hollywood ate the minds of people here ages ago. Mainsteam is allstream. But it's not true that you never see it.
Its just a rarity. Along with vintage and all the other things you bloggers love.
Bohemian isn't just a style, its a life. It's almost a disease. Not contagious, unfortunately, or I'm guessing people would be a little less crazy. Artistic tendencies, complete disregard for standard rules. The theology of the bohemian is to enjoy life while living. Whereas the majority of the world are working to some ultimate goal, something almost unfulfillable unless achieved, in which case it is replaced with some other dream.
Carpe Diem, bitches. E.
