Peek-a-boo hairstyle?
I was reading Veronica Lake's Wikipedia page and right in the introduction you read this:
"Veronica Lake (November 14, 1922[1] – July 7, 1973) was an American film, stage, and television actress. Lake won both popular and critical acclaim, most notably for her role in Sullivan's Travels and for her femme fatale roles in film noirs with Alan Ladd, during the 1940s. She was also well known for her peek-a-boo hairstyle"

"Tightly arranged compositions"
I was reading a wikipedia page about a Frank Zappa's album, Burnt Weeny Sandwich.
Here's an excerpt: "Burnt Weeny Sandwich is an album by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, released in 1970. It consists of both studio album and live elements. In contrast to Weasels Ripped My Flesh, which is predominately live and song-oriented, most of Burnt Weeny Sandwich focuses on studio recordings and tightly arranged compositions."
What does "tightly arranged compositions" mean in that context?

Withering
There is the beautiful woman.
There is the beautiful woman people want to have, they want to possess her.
But possessiveness is a spoiling force. As a matter of fact, the possessiveness spirit, egoism's son, will disfigure beauty, and it will wither.
But what really is harmful?
The burning desire to possess and not being able to fully do it (how can you really possess anyone? You just can't own people) will torture from the inside those feeling this desire, the inability to please the desire hurts like hell.
This undying tension harms everyone. The one who always tries to solve this tension but just can't, and the
one others want to get, because his/her freedom will be weakened. Like Jean-Paul Sartre said: "Hell is other people". He meant that our freedom is put in a cage by others, in particular by other's people egoism.
So beauty is like a flower, if you only look at it, it'll complete its existence in peace, but if you pick it up, it will die very soon.

Love and romance
People think of love and romance as some kind of sacred magical pure dimension where things just fall into place, if they're meant to. For that reason, we believe that being able to love is something natural, something we already know how to do it.
Do you agree or disagree?

Sense of isolation
One of the most intense fear every man has to face during his lifetime is caused by the sensation of isolation from others.
And consequently, to overcome the sense of isolation and escape the prison of solitude is one of the most important goal in everyone's life.
The impossibility to reach this goal brings to madness, despair and emotional pain.
This fear, paradoxically, can only be won only through the isolation from the external world that erase the sense
of separation, because in doing so, the external world disappears and with it the sense of detachment. If you are able to do this, you'll stop seeing the world and others not as something to use and you will eliminate the separation between you(the subject) and others(the object).
Unfortunately, people try to erase this sense of isolation by using things that make us numb for a relatively short period of time such as drugs and sex, but these things just make us wanting more, chase things and live an unbalanced life of pleasure and boredom.
