One of the sweetest girls i know and one of my all time favorite pin ups Miss Bernie Dexter. I found these today while avoiding sewing 🙂 i assume Levi Dexter is the photographer.

Bernie in my Pin Up Girl Flounce Dress and new felt skull bow.

OK like the rest of you i watched the video of seven year old girls doing a dance routine to single girls. And to me it was one of the most horrifying things i have seen this week. Not that the whole thing was horrific. Minus the outfits and some of the more overtly sexual moves it could have been entertaining in a good way.

Havent seen it? You let me know what you think, this is not sparkle motion:

Instead 1/2 naked little girls rotating their hips sexually for all the world to see is what it was, and it makes me wonder what kind of gross parenting would let that happen?

I’m in a bubble of my own world the majority of the time admittedly, but in 2010 is our society so bastardized that these sort of displays truly acceptable?

I guess my youth (growing up in the 70’s) and being a kid is a far cry from what i imagine growing up today is like. I feel even more blessed being able to have been given the opportunity to be a normal kid.

Never having competed in any sort of pageantry, ever knowing what a diet was, and using my imagination instead of having TV and the Internet to influence my thought process and personality.

I know there are good parents out there hopefully more than all the crap ones i see everyday.

And to all you girls out there, you are fantastic, beautiful and amazing just who you are.

I hope your idols are ones who deserve you affections.

Growing up a dog is probably much easier than in the 70’s, sailor does not use the internet and is an avid reader.

Wow i dont post a blog in a while and i have 100 Russian spam comments,does anyone else have this problem?.

Anyhow.

Its been a busy few weeks. I have been working nonstop playing catch up on all things,while working on my costume collection packaging and preparing for two events in June.

A. Popup store in Hollywood at space 1520 with Japan LA June 3-6 Hollywood

B. For the first time ever i will be a vendor at a tattoo event. Ink N Iron June 11-13 Long Beach

I will post detailed info on both events by the end of this week.

I visited my Mom in Santa Cruz and then San Francisco with one of my Best Friends Emily. San Francisco was beautiful and i was only there for a moment which is never enough.

I met Charlaine Harris whom i love. I am a huge fan of her Sookie Stackhouse series. You know i love paranormal romances 🙂

And i feel a little like a chicken with its head cut off.

Thats been my life the last few weeks.

Im so sorry i havent been posting. Life gets in the way of free computing time often.

Heres one image i edited today. I cant post the costumes just yet, but here is one of the wigs.

Oh and by the way i will be having many exciting giveaways and contests August,Sept,Oct for Halloween. Since im doing costumes i have treats to share:)

Look whos been steps from my front door.

This pile of ruffles has now become my dress for the premiere of Exit through the gift shop, which is at a still to be disclosed location . Ill let you know how it was, i expect amazing.

I am pretty happy with my weird dress, i just have to go to the flower market in the morning and get gardenias,spray roses and crab apples for my hair. I do like fresh flowers for events.

I love sundays. So far ive over slept, rode my bike with sean all through downtown on errands and about to go to yogaworks for class.

I bought Sailor a frog costume and sabine a lobster one.

Dont worry im not torturing them i only but it on for a minute tops, i love watching them run in their costumes its the healthy alternative to anti depressants.

Hope you all are having a fantastic Sunday afternoon.

Tonight was one of several press screenings for Banksys film Exit through the gift shop.

Lucky for me I got a press pass.

The movie starts off documenting Thierry Guetta who had a very OCD habit of filming every non-sequential mundane thing that happened in his life up until the point where he discovers his cousin is street artist Space invader.

At this point he becomes focused on filming street artists and obsessively pursues them until he has filmed everyone he can except for one.

Banksy, the proverbial holy grail of street artists.

Just his luck that he finally gets his wish and not only meets but is allowed to film him.

If you know anything about Banksy you know nobody ever gets to film him.

We are taken through the progression of a certain group of street artists from their very roots to the extraordinary notoriety this type of street art has gained in the mainstream art world.

There comes a point where street art is selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. And Now into the millions.

Banksy tells Guetta its time to make his film so people can see where it came from.

Because art is about making art not dollars.

Guetta all this time has been documenting and not labeling or even looking at over 10,000 hours of footage.

Because although he has been telling everybody he is making a documentary in reality he has been just filming and putting tapes in storage bins.

He edits his footage into “his Movie” which he entitles Life Remote Control.

We get to see a clip of it in Exit a mishmash of acid flash back nightmare that reminds me a little bit of the bad scenes from Liquid sky, 80’s and terrible.

Banksy encourages Guetta to go back to LA and make art and maybe have a show, but leave all the raw footage behind with him.

So while Banksy is making this documentary and finding usable footage Guetta has given himself the moniker of Mr. Brainwash and begins to plan his Art show.

At this part of the movie for me I felt ahh the true Nature of the American dream.

This guy who is not a film maker, not an artist hires 20+ people to execute his ideas that are borrowed ideas from other artists and stages a huge opening that gets a ton of press and sells a million dollars worth of art.

His first show.

In the end it feels so unjust the notoriety “Mr. Brainwash” has accumulated in such a ridiculously short amount of time.

All the rest of the artists in this movie have worked for years/decades doing their art and making a name for them selves, not to mention making art for arts sake.

I loved the satire of this documentary, I loved being able to see footage we would have never seen before especially of Bansky who I have admired for many years.

His Show in Los Angeles Barley Legal was one of my most memorable art experiences.

Anyone who is a fan of street art this movie is definitely a must see.

And , if you do go an see it please let me know your take, i would love to get peoples reactions.

Yesterday we did a concept shoot at Gary Baseman’s Apt which is visually amazing to me. The shoot was for a segment on Pro 7 a German network who is following German Model Loulou von Brochwitz. Our segment is a photo shoot with my clothing line.

It ended up being amazing looking. We sort of wrote the storyline as we went which to my ends up well most of the time because its organic.

I took a few snapshots, The actual real photos will be beautiful.

As soon as i get the Dvd with the segment ill post it up.

Loulou & Gary in disguise.

Tub full of tobys.

Action in between sets  shot.
