Puke.. stop ruining the USA

July 18th, 2008
Another why do i watch the news here day.
Oh really George W. Bush hhmmm.
First voted to end the ban on off shore drilling this week ( if we drained the oil supposedly in the ocean they say it would last us 3 years wow what a haul and so worth it right?) Good thing its not up to him and congress has to vote on it Hooray checks and balances.
Now reported on my local news station his push to make contraception harder to get and certain types illegal. Can you please just stop trying to ruin the United States and make us look like a bunch of Puritan environment crushers.
Next on the Bush agenda burn women at the stake for taking birth control pills.
(FYI anyone who doesn’t know women take birth control pills for other reasons than for contraception, there is a variety of uses hormone regulation would be helpful for)
If people do not want to have children they shouldn’t. There are so many neglected and abused children already in the world.
I think people should have less children actually.
When i see news stories about women who have 18 children all i can think of is how can you nurture and properly take care of that many children?
Feeding and clothing does not count as nurture and care.

Just take the LA metro sometime your sure to see a woman with a small child speaking to said child in a way i wouldn’t talk to someone who’s guts i hated.
I wanted to start screaming at this woman the other day. Her son was maybe five and really quiet not making a fuss, she was screaming at him and jerking him around so mean.
What you hate the father of your child?
Whats the proper etiquette of stepping in when someone is being a complete asshole to a five years old?
I don’t usually voice my opinions on political issues because i am not trying to change anyone’s mind in general, you have your ideas and ideals i have mine. I always want people to vote every time there is an issue to vote on Presidential or not no matter who they want to vote for.
(Not this election though.)
However i do have something to say.
This past 8 years we have had people running our country who do not care about the American people, their agendas and $$ are much more appealing.
They have not cared about the education system and have made more and more cuts in federal funding for education esp non supportive of the arts.
They could care less if you die of cancer in an alley because affordable health care for the American People does not exist nor does it effect them because they probably have free government health care paid for by you.
Do not care about the environment or the fact we live on a small planet and have nowhere to go once all the natural resources have been used up.
Have spent the nation into a recession.
Started a war playing on our heart strings and then invaded another country for monetary reasons.
On and on and on.

We need a change.

I know i am NOT voting for someone who could be my grandfather who has no concept what this country needs to heal itself & wants to follow the path of the worst president this country has ever had.

And if your opinion is ” they both are the worst im just not voting” Well sorry to say you generally have to pick a lesser of two evils side in politics thats the system. And if you are not willing to be pro active and exercise your right to pick A leader for our country and choose to sit on your ass being an idiot thats your right too, we do have allot of other lazy people in this country who don’t care , don’t vote, and then complain when taxes go up or another program gets cut.

You didn’t use your voice so you don’t have one.

Right on Shepherd Fairley

Visual weekend.

July 7th, 2008


Things i forgot until i downloaded photos from my camera just now.

This guy rides his bike around town ALL around town ive seen him downtown and in beverly hills. He does a sort of preformance type art while riding his bycicle or a turette of the body on wheels more like. Lots of leg side kicks and arm jerks.


We went to the Volcom skate park and i took my shark who is not a good skater.

How cool is Volcom for making a pubic skate park for everyone to enjoy (even sharks).

 


The marching bands at the Rose Bowl I love marching bands. And Fireworks.

 

And Sean is a fan of nachos.


Me being dumb. I have new hair again. Its a constant battle. My hallway has rabbits.

Long weekends are never long enough.

July 7th, 2008

Well it was relaxing all the same sort of. Friday we went to the rose bowl because monster truck was sold out with the option to pay $15 to sit in the parking lot and watch fireworks, yeah sounded really fun but no thanks. So we went to the Rose Bowl and watched marching bands and the best fireworks show ever!

Thats all i really wanted to do. The last few years i have just stayed home and missed the excitement and comradery of other people watching a fireworks show. Its like watching a parade, which for some reason always chokes me up it almost doesnt matter what its for.

My favorite was the Gay Pride parade in San Francisco. I worked at the Betsey Johnson Geary St store downtown SF for five years and always worked that day . I would walk one block to the end of the street and watch for a little bit. Anyway off topic.

Saturday i made myself an outfit for a project i was doing on Sunday which you all shall see soon.

Besides that non eventful, I watched UFC hooray Forrest Griffin i really like Rampage too but i was happy Forrest won hes one of my favorite fighters.

Alright i must to to work i have many items to sew.

Go Metro, small dogs better than a parrot bird and a sort of day off….

July 3rd, 2008

Its my first day riding my bike to the metro and then metro to downtown which is where our office is. Sean says its a much better idea than driving and i agree. It actually takes way less time costs $2.5 and no traffic all things fantastic.
It reminds me of living in San Francisco where i would take BART and Metro pretty much every day.
Anyway while i write this Sabine is sitting on my shoulder proof reading. She is quite helpful much nicer than a parrot bird. Did you know there is a parrot that owns that URL you can book him to annoy oh i mean entertain your guests at a party.
Tomorrow is a holiday so ill be having at least half the day off i have a project i need to finish for Saturday but its for me so it will be fun tomorrow plus im going to ride my scooter downtown.
Then monster trucks and fireworks.
Happy 4th everyone here in the US everyone else happy firday.
Love,
Me

One more shoot this time at Hot Topic HQ

July 3rd, 2008

We shot on Tuesday out at Hot Topic for the stuff i am doing for them. I was pretty nervous since i had not seen my samples yet ,but they were good.

The materials are a little different than what i am used to, but they look really cute and will be really affordable. I love everyone there such a great team of people..

I cant wait to see the photos and start adding graphics to them. And of course Mosh the fox photos i made one outfit for that shoot that i am in love with.

Audrey with lots of hair you cant tell but she has mini mouse on her nails.

Sean & Jay Bentley who favors very bright shirts.

 

Model Casting Saturday In Los Angeles…. well actually the valley.

July 3rd, 2008

18 years later..Super Fox and Skinhead=Gay Leatherman fashion.

June 28th, 2008

What.! Ok that seems like a really long time looking back. That is when i got this scooter i was 17 and at the end of high school. Today it was dropped of by Gary Lee of Bar Italia Classics (thank you guys fucking rule) of Los Angeles the only real scooter repair shop and sales in Los Angeles.

I have been tinkering but if you know me you would know i have too many projects going at all times and scooter repair is low on my list of to dos.

Gary added some things i never could have and tuned it up and its running GREAT! So that was my prize for getting up at six am taking the bus downtown and scouting a location for todays shoot featuring my little Vespa 150.

Michelle X Star Photo, Reyna Hair of Hairroin Salon Hollywood, Shandra Jade MakeUp , I garments/Styling, and Mosh Model.

First time working with Mosh and i love her sweet and the ultra vixen. I can barley wait to see the photos i am so excited. The team today was perfect.

And then Tuesday lucky me i get to work with three amazing talented and beautiful women. I am kind of nervous about this shoot because my idea is conceptual and depends on my relaxed style of artistry to pop everything out

But what is life worth without its challenges?.

Ok another topic. When did Skinhead become gay fashion? I mean i always though they were a little homo-erotic but wasn’t aware it was a trend.

I took this photo one of three window displays of skinhead fashions belonging to the most hardcore leather man shop i have been in so far. “Why were you in a leather man gay sex store Jessica” “Well i thought maybe they would have Merc or cool Ben Sherman to get for Sean.” The polite walrus mustached muscle man did give me a what the hell are you doing in her look when i walked in.

Anyway i thought it was hilarious.

Ok happy Saturday everyone im taking it easy tonight. Ill have one day off and a long week of amazing projects.
