740ct opal butte crystal with Contra luz color plays. This gem has all faceted faces and contains some amazing matrix inclusions. The mix of of facets, color plays, and minerals creates an almost mystical or “underwater” like scene within.

I can’t remember whether I ever posted this, but I just found it again tucked into my journal. It was song wrote by my nine year old sister for her ‘girl band’, under no influence of any adults or me at all. The start was all this crazy shit like “I’m called a christmas elf/ but it ain’t christmas/ i’m just a person/ who was shrinked by/ alice in wonderland/ and a crazy rabbit/ so there ain’t no name strong enough/ to change your personality”, I’ve lost most of it. This picture above however, was the chorus (along with a bridge of “sing it dogs! come on come on, sing it cats!). It’s kinda crazy because it’s a 9 year old writing a daft little song, but I thought it was so fantastic how she was writing about “even if you’re labelled this, you aren’t this”, it can almost be brought into a gender queer conversation, or any conversation on societies labels. It’s just one of my favourite things I own, so cute and funny and yet… a nine year knows we don’t all identify with the labels we’re given, why the hell don’t most adults?

Spotted: An extremely oppressed brown woman skating her way to Oppressedville.

Let me tell you about this oppressed girl though, she started her own international Hijab company online called Vela Scarves.

Marwa Atik was born and raised in the California to Syrian parents. Her passion for the veil (hijab), combined with her eye for fashion and design expertise, is apparent in her exclusive creations. Vela was born in 2009, when Marwa simply began incorporating her favorite accents, such as ruffles and zippers, into otherwise bland veils and advertising via word of mouth. Marwa also extended her creativity to designing actual techniques of how to wear the veils, based on their respective designs and style.

In 2010, Marwa and her sister, Tasneem Atik Sabri, partnered to officially launch their company and website to bring beautiful, elegant, and affordable veils to women globally.

Badass.
