flower masturbation.

check out this fabulous illustrators work at http://helllllen.org/. I got this particular picture on the Vice Magazine website, from an article about how "Rubbing out is [also] pretty much the only part of female sexuality that has the gently-opening-flower aesthetic we’ve been told to expect and maintain since we were in the Cabbage Patch."

one of (if not my) favorite paintings. and that is all I have to say.

fearless freaks.

I wanna be a fearless freak. Like Wayne Coyne from the flaming lips. I saw this awesome documentary that just showed what an amazing artist this guy is. Wayne was never a trained musician. In fact I wouldn't consider him one. He just has an amazing work ethic and awesome ideas, and I really think that anyone that considers themselves an artist should watch this movie and see what I'm talking about. It was incredibly inspiring. Plus Wayne is gorgeous. But I mean Wayne was like any one of us, making art constantly, working a long john silvers for like 13 years just trying to have money for cigarettes and coffee to keep himself awake to make more art. Basically, it comes back to if I don't try I won't succeed, and I'm not even sure if it is about that. It is just about making art, cause that is just what some people should do. I wanna be a fearless freak. So I am one now. HA! I'm a fearless freak. 

do I like the gold?

Of course I like the gold. Gold is retro, gold is gaudy, gold is antique...I really want a sold gold septum ring. 

I am an emotional creature!

Please, please, please watch the following video. This woman, Eve Ensler, is certainly on the same page as myself when it comes to viewing women. I have never thought of myself as lesser; I'm fascinated with the 'magical' balance men and women can have together. I'd go so far as to say that all of my art work/craft work whatever-you-call-it is all about being a woman. Being an emotional creature is all I think about sometimes, that is when I'm not being emotional. I've never herard ANYBODY say that we should be proud to be vulnerable and emotional. I feel conflicted so often because I train myself to think rationally when I don't want to (not that it works). If more people had the perspective of this woman I really do think the world would be a better place. This woman needs to come down to the unitarian congregation with me. She would be fabulous. 
I hope that more people discover her teachings. I hate that even in this day and age IN AMERICA girls my age still think they are being oppressed or something and that they have to burn their bras. Women can be whomever they wish to be. Women should embrace being themselves, and being women. Denying that you like to wear a bra is ridiculous. If you don't like one, then don't wear one, no one cares.
I'm totally ranting here, (but I'm an emotional creature) but I feel really moved by what this woman said. It's like all the fights I've had about proving women as equal, I couldn't think of all the wonderful ways she worded herself. I would really love to meet her. *swoon*
