Your truly heartbreaking image of the day: a troop of chimps looks on in grief as one of their elders, Dorothy, is taken to be buried. Dorothy was rescued from an amusement park and relocated to Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center in Cameroon.
This is AMAZING!!!! Primates should be treated with so much more respect, love and understanding. Via Vegansaurus please read the whole blog there http://vegansaurus.com/post/226126325/your-truly-heartbreaking-image-of-the-day-a-troop#
OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are A*MAZE*ING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now they need to make one that says Gender Fuck and one that is gay, bi, str8 or Kinsey scale it ;) I love anything cute with foul language.............it's kind of my favorite.............because I have the mouth of a sailor and because I love the combination of cute and shocking, cute and dirty, cute and dark basically polar opposites or something that looks like one thing and is totally something else.............it's weird because you can't see that in my work at all........................................ha!
P.S. I'm FINALLY feeling better, am working on finishing up my secret project, am taking photos today in the sunlight of new stuff, am getting a haircutz (going asymmetrical), painting, going to bday dinner, sleep!

It's been a slow blogging week for me, just super busy and distracted by dogs and getting a bit of sleep! But I had to share this AWESOME movie I just saw!!!!!!!!! When I received Drag me to Hell in my netflix, I couldn't remember why it was in my queue other than it was a horror movie and I put almost every horror movie in my queue at some point...........anyways then I see it's a SAM RAIMI Horror flick!!!! DUHZ that's why it was in my queue, Mr. Raimi's first forey back to his humor horror roots in almost 2 count em 2 decades!!!!! Oh evil dead how do I love thee..........I digress..................So Drag me to Hell stars Alison Lohman and Justin Long and is seriously soooo freaking GOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!! You have been missed Mr. Raimi, very, very missed...for serious!
Ok best things about this movie...........
1. Creepy, scary, gross old people are ALWAYS a good bet............this lady scared the be-jesus outta me.......man who knew a little old lady could be sooo freaking scary???
2. It covers the 3 most important qualities for kick ass horror......
It's freaking hilarious
It's scary and jump worthy (I jumped like 3 or 4 times)
and it's GROSS!!!!!
3. The ending isn't LAME!!! It's AWESOME!!! Seriously the last like 10 minutes of the movie is INSANE!!!! Soooooo good!!!!
4. Did I mention the old lady??? yeah that shit was fucked up!!!
Gooooo RENT it!!! Or put it in your queue...I want to own this soooo good!!! Perfect for Halloween!!! I really want to see Trick or Treat too!!!! I doubt it will live up to Drag me to Hell though but it still looks good! And it stars Anna Paquin and I <3 her! I love me some horror!!!

Dear you,
You left us a year ago and I still can't believe you are gone. My brain, my heart, my being, just can't seem to accept it. I know you are here with me, with all of us, because I feel you all the time. It's not the same. I see you in the San Francisco pavement, our restaurants, bars and bike shops, I hear you in the local music, there are shadows of you everywhere.
It doesn't feel like this is real and it probably never will. I miss you so fucking much, all the time, for stupid things and important ones. I don't know how to fix the hole you left in me. There is so much I want to tell you. I miss your face.
The first time I saw you, my first day at Travelocity, you took my breath away. You looked far too cool for me, but you were actually a huge dork on the inside same as me. You didn't even know how beautiful you were and so damn talented. When you gave me your heart mine was secretly already yours. We were so much alike it scared me, it still does. You were a brilliant writer, artist, photographer and musician and an amazing cook. I miss your jam. You changed my life forever. I can't believe we found each other, it seems impossible.
I am so grateful for our time together, for your friendship and love. I'm also so angry that you left. You are more missed than you could have possibly known, so precious to the lucky few of us that had the chance to know you.
It hurts to look at your pictures. I miss you so immensely much, my friend, all the time, everyday. The world is less than without you.
I love you for fucking ever JJT

I've been working on my first novel for the past couple years very slowly. It is about me and my coming out and Jessica was a large part of that. She read a few excerpts that I let her read and I think they gave her the impression it wasn't a favorable account of her, or us but she was wrong, well she just didn't know because I didn't want her too, that it was really a love story. I wish I had the chance to tell her. I wish she was here to read this.
A short little piece from the book about the Jessica I loved.
Jaye is making pumpkin butter in the kitchen for Thanksgiving and Christmas presents. She loves to jam, like actual fresh fruit, mason jar jamming. I had no idea people our age did this until this moment. I thought only grandma's in Missouri with dirt root basements canned and jammed. I mean I knew Diane Keaton did it in Vermont, but that was baby applesauce and then she kicked ass in New York City. It was literally the cutest, nerdiest and simultaneously the most delicious thing in the world. At the farmer's market the girl literally lost her shit tasting fresh jams and chutneys, it was irresistible. It was like how I felt about Star Wars. I've tasted her jam before, strawberry, yum but never witnessed the process. The pumpkin was roasting in the oven and Jaye was boiling mason Jars and mixing ingredients. Moving scalding glass jars from a boiling pot to a cooling rack with big blue rubber gloves and tongs in an apron. This was my girl, this was happy.
This will be a new weekly (he he I hope) feature on the blog I have so much nerdiness to share I figured I would condense it weekly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So this is actually technically dorky but whatever for the love of all that is STAR WARS.....................
poster by drew struzan don't know him??? get on that! Basically THE best movie poster illustrator EVER! sigh LOVE illustration, illustrators are sick!
My love affair and dork affiliation with Star Wars began on my living room floor on VHS recorded commercial free from HBO with my little brother...within the first five minutes I had nearly peed myself. Until that point the only sci-fi special effects I had really seen were from movies like The Black Hole, Escape to Witch Mountain, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Last Starfighter. I was already sci-fi obsessed but once we saw Star Wars it was over.....I don't think we moved once, we just tensely sat there mouths hung open in awe it was literally one of the coolest moments of my life. No I'm not joking....I told you I'm a dork and I take it seriously and Star Wars started it all.
Dear George Lucas, thank you for the bright star of my childhood called Star Wars your genius and innovation shall last forever regardless of recent follies (cough episodes I, II & III). P.S. I forgive you for JarJar...almost...........

YAY heee hee hope this helps give you some ideas too!!!
10. Margo from The Royall Tennenbaums this is 10 because it has kind of been done but I still LOVE her character and the movie and it would be a super simple thrift shop job!
9. Suki from True Blood this would also be a pretty easy DIY costume!
8. Coraline also another super easy DIY costume and one of my favorite movies now ever!!!
all you need is a classic yellow raincoat, yellow rain boots jeans and a blue wig with a dragonfly clip! The yellow rain coat is super easy to find just google it here is one I found on Amazon that is perfect find it here
and the perfect electric blue wig also found on amazon
and the perfect yellow rain boots
or these
oooooorrrrr these
add a dragonfly barrette like this one from Starry Luna on etsy.com
or this one from scotiasammyjo on etsy.com
or these vintage ones from small and mousey on etsy.com
and I LOOOOOOOVE this button key necklace from refreshing designs jewelry on etsy.com

7. Next up is Max from Where the Wild things are and this isn't higher on the list because I can't sew and I am poor but there are some AMAZING costumes out there!!!!
Like this one fromstar visions on etsy.com
and they make a crown too
or this one from the radical thread co. on etsy.com made of eco friendly fabrics!
this one is cool because its a hoodie and a bit cheaper from Poppy's Wicked Garden on etsy.com
this one is really cool any excuse to wear pajamas all the time from the LB gallery on etsy.com
6. Bret Michaels what can I say it would be super fun to dress up as Bret and super easy!! Just need a bandanna and an awesome 80's Rocker wig and a LOT of eyeliner and lipstick!!
sooooo AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. Silk Spectre from The Watchmen!!!!!!! Love her, LOVE the comic, LOVE the movie again only thing is I can't sew and I'm poor :( But it would kick ass!!!!
above is the costume you buy on the right next to the movie costume it's pretty good and you can buy a nice wig these are all over but here is a link and you can just google it and tons will come up and here is one more pic of it
and here is a super freaking cool do it yourself how to video but alas I am DIY sewing challenged
4. Donnie Darko Skeleton Costume Love this movie forever and ever best dark sci-fi and soundtrack omg! This is fun and easy too with lots of options!
So basically you need the following a grey hoodie (sweeet i have one) a skeleton costume or a skeleton t-shirt and black jeans or a skeleton t-shirt and some cool skeleton tights! Here are some options I found...
this skeleton costume from Amazon
this glow in the dark skeleton t-shirt from Amazon
these awesome skeleton tights from Amazon
these super RAD skeleton pantyhose OMG!
this amazing glow in the dark skeleton t-shirt from the girls at red velvet art
and add a grey hoodie! There are tons more great skeleton related stuff out there too!!
3. Lydia from Beetlejuice!!!! Oh how I love little goth girls and Lydia is one of my all time FAVES!!!
this costume is amazing
I think I want to go the black mourning dress route instead of the red wedding dress and that should be an easy enough vintage find and then I just need a long black wig to tease and modify. Here are some finds for either option
this red dress is perfect and affordable from dress up doll vintage on etsy.com
love this veil too
i love me a tutu
this vintage dress would be perfect too
this dress would be great!
or this one i think I would chop up the bottom with scissors
OMG I LOVES this one
and you could add a cool hair clip veil or hat
like this one
or this one
or this one
2. Roller derby girl or character from whip it!!!!
just go vintage shopping or go on www.etsy.com!!! You need a theme outfit some knee high or thigh high socks some cool tights or fishnets and some skates!!!
this skirt would be perfect
this costume would be perfect!!!!
and my number one costume idea..................
1. Joan Jett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is super easy I just need an 80's mullet/rocker wig in black which are all over and my usual attire skinny jeans and a t-shirt with some cool makeup she is sooooo HOT!
(this is the kristen stewart as joan jett but it gives you a costume idea)

.::oh hello::.
YAY it's friday!!!! whooo hoo!!! I'm working super, super hard and finished 3 paintings and a gift for a friend yesterday whooo hooo!!! I have so many more sketches to paint plus tons, tons, tons of new ideas just itching to get out!! If only I could clone myself and put the meeee's to work ;) Anyways!!!!!!!! Last Saturday I went to a preview of Whip It OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO FREAKING GOOD!!!!!!!!! I've read some negative reviews and those people are obviously morons...............it ROCKED! I am not kidding go see this movie ASAP!!!!!!!!! Let me say I am a HUGE fan of Women's Roller derby...I mean really big surprise!!!!!!!!! I wanna be on a team SOOOOO bad!!!! I even got some skates :D
sooooooo funny and inspirational and BAD ASS!!!!
and the cast is AMAZING!!! So one of the things that I love about this film besides the fact that it is about Women's Roller Derby (I mean come on!) is that it is a female focused, female dominated film/cast!!! The men are really sides to the characters development, the women take the main stage and they don't play your typical hollywood character roles! The most important male character is the dad. This film is about female empowerment and not being afraid to go after your dreams!!!! Also there are definitely lesbian undertones whoo! Lots of innuendo and I mean drew is rockin rainbow hair streaks and socks..........um she is engaged to a guy in the movie but perhaps its a shout out to the Homos...maybe her character is bi ;) We can hope!!!
I love that Bliss dumps her douche of a boyfriend and doesn't look back, no cliche oh ok you really didn't cheat and I was just being a crazy girl ending or he does some grand apology (blech) or my least favorite some gross get back at him plot isn't hatched nope just this isn't what I want byeeeeeeeee wow a real woman!!!
****SPOILER OVER****
The characters are gritty, imperfect and funny a slice of somewhat reality in the void of female representation in Hollywood. I felt this film actually nailed a bit of realness of my actual girlfriends/life even if most of the characters were "straight" ;)
AND DREW BARRYMORE DIRECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOO WOMEN :D
LOVED IT!!!! LOVE ME SOME DERBY!!!!!!!! I'm Breaking out the skates again this week.............I'll let you know how it goes ;) OH AND we got free t-shirts after the show!!! OMG sooo excited I already turned mine into a super cute muscle tee!
ALSO here is a Birthday Pet Portrait I did for my friend YAY :D Hope she loves it...this is squid who is also Panda's girlfriend..........yes I will be painting them both just you wait!!!
Next week I will be posting the other finished paintings I have been working on and hopefully some new ones in progress!!!
Have an AWESOME WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!
xoxo
