I decided not to move into the shotgun house with my boyfriend. Instead I just moved out above a head shop in the middle of downtown Lexington, KY on the University of Kentucky Campus. My apartment was once two efficiencies hence the matching closets, built in bookshelves & the fact that I have two bathrooms.

This is my moving precess. Everything is a train wreck currently but I have plans to finish EVERYTHING before my vacation this weekend. Expect another much prettier post very soon. This is where I ask more annoying questions and for advice.

Use youre imaginations, people! )

Art & Nutcrackers

  • Dec. 14th, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Resistance Rising went pretty well for a first time event. Considering my total lack of preparation I managed to sell out of 2 postcard designs and sold most of the stickers too. Next time I will be making a far greater effort with presentation of my stuff! Was really impressed with some of the other creations I saw on show (in particular I grabbed business cards from Celia Arias Gonzalez and Atome Fabrik and a lovely jewellry maker called Mariana Abella whose website is eluding my google hunting!).

Aaand back to modelling stuffs.. after something a month without any shoots booked, this week has somehow turned into crazy busy shootfest. Today we managed to cram 3 models and 8 outfits into 3 hours of shooting time, mixing up fantastical creations from Ada Zanditon, Freyagushi, Rachel Freire and Manuel Albarran. My favourite piece was reminiscent of a Pachycephalosaurus (and I had to hold back on the urge to charge head first at walls and models and such in a fit of excitment).

Tomorrow I'm shooting again for Bibian Blue corsets. The themes are secret for now but it's something I've never done before (which is a harder task than you would think!). Then wednesday modelling for Jane Doe Latex (whee!). Saturday I shall be in attendance at Mutate Britain's 'One Foot In the Grove' winter exhibition, walking in a fashion show for Rachel Freire. Would be awesome to see London-folk in attendance! ;)

Thought I'd also post some pics I found from the Lady Lucie fashion show at the Torture Garden Xmas fashion show last week. I seem to be becoming more and more light weight with regards to alcohol, as I managed to accidently get horribly drunk before the show and had to be slapped in the face several times (at my own request. haha) before I could see well enough to go on stage. Apparently I was a pretty good Nutcracker though and managed to feign soberity fairly well.

Sorry I'm too lazy to resize 'em ><

well helloI've no idea why I look so surprised Oo
Yep, definitely drunkLOL

In other news, I watched the Buffy musical episode again a couple of days ago and still can't get the songs out of my head. Let me rest in peace.

So my second shop is shaping up to include mostly still life images, though there are a few people shots i'll be putting in there as well. Pretty much all the stuff that was taken with a lot less heart and thought.

So i'm wondering if i should lower the prices on the prints a little bit. What do you guys think?

Photo Flurry

1209

I did something I shouldn’t ever do, which is let a few weeks’ worth of photos build up on my machine. Not good, not good at at all, because THIS is what happens when I do it. An avalanche of information and visuals, instead of manageable bite-sized bleep and bloops. Too late for regret now, so sit back and open wide.

First up, last week’s print orders, among them the Orange Cream version of Honeydrip and colored-in Endless Commission. I really dig photographing my prints – they feel so very different from what the images look like on-screen, more alive and tactile, with the velvety paper texture  under the ink.

Second, here’s me giving hedonism a bad name at this amazing cake shop while pimpin’ literary enfant terrible/style maven Clint Catalyst’s and designer Jared Gold’s collaborative PRODUCT – a prize ribbon celebrating indulging in the finer things in life. Am a true hedonist? When it comes to cake, certainly. See more images from this quick shoot hurr and get your ribbon right hurr. There are other ribbons, too!

And speaking of style, here’s most of the Haute Macabre crew during a rare meeting of the meats, captured by Chloe. We didn’t mean to match and are still pondering how this came to be. Here’s how to dress like “one of us” 1. boots 2. tight black trousers/jeans/leggings 3. drapey top 4. leather jacket/drapey jacket 5. massive scarf/cowl/hood. Black/white/gray only, obviously. I’m exempt from black hair dye.

Chloe also took the shot below, along with these photos at the Induced Epidemics reception. I think hers are my favorite from that night, at least from what I’ve seen.

ohChloe

Speaking of the reception, it was crazy-fun and crazy-packed. The night is a sparkling blur of meeting people, running into tons of old friends, listening to Nixon describe the technical aspects of preserving a dead boar in the back room, feasting on Skooby’s incomparable fries, and then it all culminating in serious booty-shaking at the after-party.

I have an Induced Epidemics reception set of my very own on Flickr, too. A few of my favorites below, starting with this one of me with my piece. It’s a one-of-a-kind version of Honeydrip in warm shades of cayenne and cinnamon, measuring 14 x 30″.

I had to go back and edit this because I forgot to add any actual info! I'm oracle_me, and I live in Toronto, Canada. I'm actually moving to a loft next weekend, but I wanted to take some quick pictures of my current bedroom - hence the terrible quality! I've been in this house for just under a year, but never really felt entirely settled here. It's a restored, Edwardian period house in the east end of the city, hence the fantastic, high ceilings. One of the great things about this room is that the entire south wall - the one you can't see - is closet space, lined with cedar. Pretty amazing. Anyways, hope you enjoy the pics; I've loved peeking in at yours ;-)

I've posted my room to [info]iheartmyroom before after I had it redecorated a few months ago as a
graduation present, but I thought I'd post it here as well so you guys can see what it looks like now!
Hope you enjoy.

I-love-you has no usages. Like a child’s word, it enters into no social constraint; it can be a sublime, solemn, trivial word, it can be an erotic, pornographic word. It’s a socially irresponsible word. Roland Barthes
