beauts' poker face.

Bea Arthur, another hero of mine gone.

today one of the most influential women in my life has passed. Bea Arthur died today due to cancer and I couldn't be more upset about this loss. Bea Arthur was one of those women that people either misunderstood or someone that they completely loved. For me at least I absolutely loved and idolized her. She was the epitome of everything I loved about strong women. She will forever be someone I look up to and aspire to be. I love you Bea!

new phots.

the latest shoot is up on royale's myspace page but here are a couple of photos from last week. all of these were taken on a rooftop in downtown la. photos by sean stiegemeier makeup by me.

only the best lyrics will do

While watching yet another shark movie tonight the films ending credits were really not to be missed...that is due strongly to the fact that LL Cool J really has a way with words. See below:

"Deepest Bluest (Shark's Fin)" -LL Cool J

Uh, my hat is like a shark's fin

[1] - Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin

[Repeat 1 (5x)]

Manmade terror
Hungry jaws of death
Y'all don't cross my depths
I'll pause your breaths
I cause you to sink down forty thousand leagues
Bleeding to death with no arms and short sleeves
My world's deep blue
Killers gotta eat too
Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through
Other fish in the sea but Barracudas ain't equal
To a half human predator created by a needle
Jet black eyes baby they stare while you sleep
When your Titanic sinks I'm the one you gon' meet
Hearing terrified screams they surround my team
All you see is trails of blood
Even God won't intervene
Nightmares of darkness
My apetite is heartless
Even if we related, you eliminated regardless
In the deep blue, underwater walls
Half man, half shark
My jaws don't fall

[Repeat 1 (8x)]

Our Father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Killers sworn to beast
Swallowed them in flames
They switched my DNA
Trip me into Cool J
I can't fight the feeling
I'm born to kill prey
To survive an attack
There's only one way
Battle to the death
That's how sharks play
Weapons left behind
We dueling with the mind
You blind, crippled, or crazy
You're real easy to find
Struggling to flow with hemorrhages in your throat
Getting the lap dance while I smash through your boat
Eat your whole fam
Nothing left but a right hand
Clinging to a rail
Escape, attempts fail
You'll never make it home
Tear the flesh off your bone
Walking in undercurrents is a dangerous zone
I'm talking death out a moment's notice
You wasn't focused
Me and my crew strike
Like some underwater locusts

[Repeat 1 (8x)]

Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper

These waters are waist level
The hallway's flooded
Lost your scuba gear
The killer's cold-blooded
His name's LL
You don't really want it
I ate your ancestors
The ocean is haunted
I'm closing in cause I'm supposed to win
How the cold steel feel when it froze your chin
Should of stayed on dry land
Stroke while you can
Cause now you under pressure in the land of the damned
Abandoned pirate ships
Eels and sod scum
Fish that glow in the dark
The Titanic's hub
Underwater storms
You're blood is so warm
You're life vest is off
And that turns me on
Killer for centuries
The Gotti of the deep
In the next millennium
I'm still gonna creep
Sand under my belly, ocean over my head
Through the light in the shadows
You become the living dead


yes, it's true. I couldn't even believe it myself. Davey and I are still laughing about the line "Getting the lap dance while I smash through your boat Eat your whole fam Nothing left but a right hand"

never too old...

perusing through google often produces a detrimental truth that one day i will have to face.

how old is too old for hello kitty?

i for one don't see that day coming anytime soon, and i fear that my desire for her has remained throughout the vast majority of my life.

when i was a child my parents would give me a $100 dollar bill to spend at the sanrio store. it wasn't always hello kitty that i loved i had a few favorites that i frequently liked to grace my three ring binders and plastic pencil cases:

1. little twin stars
2. kero-kero-keroppi
3. pippo
4. my melody

i wonder when the attachment will end, when will i be able to place my car keys on the key rack without having a giant fluffy cat face to identify my keys from the otherwise boring and dull counterparts?

birthday cake remix

ahhh the wonders of birthday cake flavored ice cream! i have been eating birthday cake remix for years ever since my best friend took me to a coldstone back in 2003 to show me her favorite mix. i have tried to get as many people into it as possible throughout the years and have only managed to turn a few people to this delicious treat! i haven't had it for a while but tonight the mood striked and i am pleased to announce that the ice cream never gets old! i feel like a kid every time i take my first bite!

i'm a dumbass.

more self inflicted injuries a-comin' your way....this time i ran into a table!

chunky monkey

happy easter y'all.




zachariah's chunky monkey dance in celebration of the easter festivities!



the lyrical genius of zachariah:

Chunky monkey he cacas on the ranch
Chunky monkey he cacas on the branch
Chunky monkey he pee pees on his hands
Chunky monkey he cacas on the branch
Chunky monkey he pee pees on the cell phone
Chunky monkey he pee pees on the owl
Chunky monkey he pee pees in his face
Chunky monkey he cacas on his face
Chunky monkey he pee pees on the face yaw!

easter bread!

davey and i tried to make easter bread tonight as a trial run for sundays festivities. i'd say for a first time run through we did pretty well. i say that because:
1. we didn't burn the house down
2. the bread was actually edible.

here are some photos of our easter bread




while waiting for the yeast to rise i pulled out my old keyboard and plunked down some keys. i am so bad i had to record myself to believe how truly rusty i am. take a look.

louis wain

i have been listening to current 93 for a while now but i never realized that louis wain did the artwork for the cover of 'thunder perfect mind' it should have been quite obvious with the cat and a bow tie but i suppose that was too logical for me to figure out....anyway it turns out that louis wain is possibly the greatest human being to ever exist. the reasoning behind this notion is the fact that he drew cats. here are a few examples of his artwork:

i'm in love with the beauts

nostalgish

when i was a kid, i went to the showcase theatre in corona to see this band with my friend keri. because i was only thirteen years old at the time my mom and dad had to drive us there and wait in the parking lot for the show to be over. i was literally at the show for twenty minutes before my mom came into the venue and grabbed keri and i only to drag us out of the venue for fear that she wasn't being a responsible mother allowing us to be taking part in such shananigans.

looking back on it now, i can't even believe that i was allowed to go in the first place, even for 20 minutes. my parents were nuts.

suck on this.

bust.

antique swapmeet today was a total bust. i did however find this really cute kitschy cat set of salt and pepper shakers, creamer, and sugar holder. I was hoping to find something more along the lines of this:





I would absolutely LOVE to get my hands on one of these without having the $400+ shipping charges that websites like anthropologie would slap on at the end...ay yay yay papi.

the antique swapmeet has really been ballies the past couple of months it's making me feel uninspired and lord knows i need it with the mundane life that is mine. everyday as follows:

wake up
shower
dress
lunch
starbucks
study
bed

or for the days i have work:

wake up
shower
dress
work
starbucks
lunch
work
study
bed

i need a vacation to barcelonnnaaa sung in the tone of the song by the same name in the beloved woody allen film.


i received a few emails, and myspace messages about my clothes that i was selling on ebay, i am sorry i have not posted them up as of yet however I have been busy doing the said above. in addition to the clothes, I also have tons and i mean TONS of damaged betsey johnson jewelry from when I worked there that has been gathering dust in a bag.

when i say damaged i don't mean unwearable it just means something has either fallen off or scratched off etc... for example I have tons of betsey johnson valentine jewelry because it was the cheapest quality i believe the label ever put out and things were falling off left and right. so one of the necklaces i have has a key and a heart that says something along the lines of 'be my valentine' or 'be mine' and it has a scratch on it...nothing big, i also have TONS of the motorcycle/blades of glory/yankee doodle phase betsey went through when she did the american eagle and the american flag shiz. One piece in particular that i know i will never wear is this american eagle cuff that is literally like 4 inches wide and it has a heart in its claw with the bj letters in the middle. i doubt anyone will want it though it's kind of motorcycle babe but perhaps someone may want it to be ironic. who knows.

ANYWAY, this stuff is wearable I just have to get it all organized, and get it out of my closet. i am too overwhelmed every morning when i get up to get dressed and need people to take this stuff off of me and give my closet some breathing room.

i need less accessories more furniture....i want a sweet treasure chest or some kind of cabinet with shelves to put my blythe doll in as well as a few other trinkets and boxes. if anyone knows of any cool antique furniture places to go to please tell me!
