A vintage storyboard: by me

I come from a family of sentimental hoarders, so it should come as no surprise that a few of my favourite things are some of the oldest things we've kept. Upon this realisation, I decided to create this vintage storyboard which pretty much sums me up:

 1. The little white dresses and white cape are what I got christened in.
 These have never left my mom's cupboard and serve as testament to the fact that perhaps style chose me. Even at this age my white dresses are my most treasured clothing items. I just need one more white dress or should I say gown? *winks*

 2. The antique phone: yes, it works! This phone reminds me of how intrigued I used to be by phones as a little one and how imperative it was that our landline worked so that I could receive daily calls from my parents, who lived in another town at the time.

3. Small black&white 3-channel TV with white noise showing on the screen: Well that's been around for 20-something odd years now (obviously not much use now). Why it's featured in this storyboard? One answer. Media and entertainment - all things media, I'm in. The journo in me never sleeps, but if it so happens that the journo sleeps, the white noise wakes me up, I search for the best programme and I watch it and direct it in HD.

4. Gold 21st key: Golden key society...Ha!just kidding, this is a mere reminder that I am not getting any younger, so I should always strive to live my best life. Also, I like things simple and precious.

5. Piano: "Music keeps me here, by far, the main thing." -Dash Snow-
(mainly in our house as an aesthetic feature, but I swear I'll find the time to learn how to play eventually)
