Stevie queen of lace and goats

Stevie Nicks is known for her mystical image, her billowing chiffon skirts , shawls , layers of lace and long blonde hair. Margi Kent, a designer from California, has worked with Nicks since the 1970s to perfect her style.She is almost like a blonde virgin Mary but way sluttier , I am growing out my hair to its full shagginess to mirror her awesomeness. All hail Miss Nicks and her magic shawl power!!

Happy Fat Tuesday!

The Púca (Irish for goblin)

Pwwka, Pooka, Puka, Phouka, Púka, Pwca in (see Puck). The origin of the name may come from the Scandinavian word for "nature spirit" — This magnificent shapeshifter is a creature of Celtic folklore , sometimes appearing as a rabbit , goat , goblin , horse or a dog . Most people know of the pookah from the movie "Harvey" starring Jimmy Stewart . Recently a friend of mine told me her son has an imaginary friend who is a rabbit and it reignited my fascination with pookah's.These benevolent creatures can be hostile or kindly.Farmers used to sacrifice a small part of their crop to the pookah's.Some pookah's bestowed advice , and in my young friends case his pookah told him that there is a afterlife where a female being greats souls in the inbetween to help them move on to rebirth.Its a pretty profound concept coming from a 4 1/2 year old.Maybe the world is more magical than I thought.Don't stop believing in Puck!

Blue is the new hue is the theme of these new mini paintings

Die Antwoord Ten$ion

'Die Antwoord' is 'The Answer' if your question is 'what should I shake my ass too that has super fly classic techno beats?'.Die Antwoord is from South Africa and has a new album called Ten$ion and it is dance-a-delic.'I fink you freaky' is the obvious hit single with a super rad video,its catchy lyrics is my new shower anthem and the song 'Baby's on fire' made me jump around my living room like a Mexican jumping bean.They have once again impressed with their uber creative rap lyrics and flowing , undulating beats.Not too mention Yolandi Vi$$er is so freakin' cute and scary like a creepy vampire wood nymph who dances like she's made of rubber.I just love their art style , its so simple and handmade and primal.Check them out on youtube at... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK382pOjTMI

'Damned' by Chuck Palahniuk

This is Madison and she has been through hell literally.This 13 year old girl kicks ass and takes names ,bribes demons with candy bars and beats the piss out of Hitler to steals his mustache for her trophy kill belt.This is not your typical coming of age adolescent girls path of self discovery book like Judy Blume , even though you will notice the phrase used in the beginning of each chapter "are you there Satan ? , its me Madison ". All gore aside this book has a deeper message , you just have to read past the yucky parts ( which were so cool. mountains of discarded toe nails and cigarette butts ) I will leave the really yucky gruesome stuff out for you to discover on your own .This was such a great read I devoured it in a day and now I am blood thirsty for more Chuck P. ( if you are squeamish maybe you should pass on this one) wussy!

The coming of the end , just kidding

Hey y'all some say it is the beginning of the end of the world 2012 OMG we are all gonna die ! yikes , in that case I am doing what I do . Painting , coloring with pens , and spreading the word of the gospel . no not really . I am 30 going on 31 next month and I am totally and utterly unemployable . So why not venture out and try my hand at selling the one thing in this world that makes me happy , small children on the black market . no just kidding . my paintings , my weirdly beautiful abstract paintings . My family loves them , but they are obviously biased . but geez , I kinda feel like its my purpose in life . so there it is . anyone want to help buy top ramen for this starving artist . I promise I will be famous one day and you can sell it and make loads of stinky cash.I promise.trust me.
