Dan Beckemeyer:Macabre Felt

Felt/Felting can be such a bad word...especially in the industry i work in....its just EVERYWHERE.....So often overwrought...overused...or overly "cute"...but this...THIS is something truly inspired!!!! Thank you Dan Beckmeyer for doing something truly amazing and interesting with an overused medium!!!

Elsa Mora: Like a Little world on Your Finger....

Elsa Mora is an amazingly talented paper artist creating fantastical silhouette style artwork based on Tales of the Brothers Grim and other such fairytales...Her detail is just breathtakingly insane and I became particularly enamored with her jewelry!!! These stunning paper rings are so amazingly delicate and beautiful and the necklace based on a Frida Kahlo painting is so inspired!!! I saw these and just fell in love....She DOES have an etsy shop so who knows...one day i may even own one of these....like a little world on your finger....

XOXO

blk Water: Goth Juice or Just a Hoax?!?!?!?

yes...i truly am a sucker...I had heard rumour of this and just wanted to check it out myself...and yes I did hope that maybe it tasted...different...i dont know like what...maybe like 1,000 years of suffering...like a cold winters night...like the "tears of Robert Smith"...but really its just water in some "clever" packaging....it IS a brainfuck to be drinking ....well......PLAIN WATER that is black......but other than that....nothing that cool.....Oh well...not the first time my curiosity got the best of me...

XOXO

the Sound of a Chainsaw Gently Fucking You: A Heathers Memoir

I mean...are you pulling my dick!?!?!?!?!?

Most definately one of my favourite movies EVER......One of the most quoteable as well....I mean its just so VERY........and as legend has it my friends and I knew this movie by heart and that we used to do it almost Rocky Horror style reciting each and every line.....to those also in the know it was endeering...to others annoying im sure....Its one of thoses things that you love SO MUCH and is so much a part of you I almost dont even need to watch it anymore because it is a part of me....Every movie after {especially a "teen" one} has been held against "Heathers" as a barometer of how cool it is....I also use it as a barometer for friends.....

So i was hoping i didnt have a brain tumour for breakfast when i heard about this book...one part movie critique one part a lifelong obsession with "Heathers" {a man after my own heart} its short...its sweet but succinct in its iterpretations...it's funny and personal...and DARK...just like the movie....it evben filled in some blanks and made some connections i had no idea about because allthough i love movies I am NOT a film geek!!!!

So weather your a Betty Finn.. a Martha Dumptruck...Or a Heather Chandeller herself...This little book is definately worht reading especially if your as OBSESSSED as I am...and anyway it's WAY more fun than that stupid lunchtime poll...

XOXO

The Light in Me Sees the Light in HIM!!!!

Om Shanti INDEED!!!
