What a wekend........

I did two really fun tattoos at the tattoo convention. Both Mandalas. And I saw many old friends.

Unfortunately durring the convention I lost my ring. The ring MorningStar gave me 17 years ago. I have worn it since then. I know it's only piece of metal, but it was mine and it carried many memories. It has made me so sad...

I'm getting ready for the Inkslingers tattoo convention here in LA. I haven't worked a convention in years, so I have a mix of excitement and nervousness. Nervous because I don't want to forget anything. I want to be all settled in the booth when my appointments arrive.

Still finishing of wedding crap and worring about all my friends in the gulf coast. I hope...

Finally sent out some of he wedding invites. Really who uses snail mail any more? It's been a pain in the ass to get snail addresses. We are still going to send out eamil invites. But I guess in the Wedding protocall you MUST send out a formal papre invite. I think the card companies have somthing to this. All some new company needs to...

I put myself in retirement from doing shows earlier this year. It's not that i wasn't finding success, i was just burnt out. I think the last couple shows i did were Cannibal Flower events, and i just wasn't feeling it anymore. Prefer doing shows with my own group, but it takes so much energy for each show, i just had to take a break. On the up side, alot of people have been hounding me to participate in local events, so i might get back out there again.

Maybe i'll see you at CF this month.

Got a question for you...

As you can see on my page, my hubby is a professional Tattoo Artist.

He wants to move to another shop and we since begun search... I was wondering if you have any leads on any shops that are looking for an artist who specializes in custom work only.

Check out his credentials on my page.

Too darn hot!
I'm so warm I can't do shit. I don't do well with heat and we have no airconditioner. It's really dry and in the high 90's here in LA. The worst part is that it is actually hotter outside than in my house. I was going to paint today but I can't seem to do more than lay on the couch and...

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.
Life is so strange, I still can't believe that I'm getting married. So my already crazy schedule has gotten even busier.

We went and registered at Crate and Barrell and Bed Bath & Beyond today. It was like making a christmas list with a scanner. I'm not counting on getting anything on my list, people are just too poor...

WOW! eeek

congratulations!

weddings can be some mighty exciting fun, but also, just about the most darn stressful things in a person's life.... but i think it's worth it, if it is with the one you love.

my friends were poor back in the dayz when i got married, so target was where we had our registry.... and if you don't get everything you wanted from their list, they give you like a 10 er 15% discount on the remaining items. wink

although, my best friend registered at crate and barrel, and he made out much better that they had thought.

what style/color dress you looking to get!!?!?

faelynia:
oh yeah... black wedding gown... just like my heart love

wink


i used to know a bomb ass'd seamstress, but she has been MIA for several years now... whatever


good luck!! biggrin

I had an English teacher in high school who had been with her man for over ten years. Every X-Mas he proposed to her, and every year she said no. She finally said yes after she retired from teaching. ^_^

Congratulations, lady.

what a great weekend.
I got to spend alot of quality time with MorningStar the past 4 days. We saw the Damned, went to an art show, met with Bean and Shalome and just bummed around 3rd street promanade and the Grove for hours.

One of my best friends just ended an 8 year relationship. They kinda just became friends/roomates, not really a couple anymore,...

Thanks for your comment. It sounds like you two (and the other two) had a good time in my 'hood, which makes me happy; too often we take for granted the simple pleasures that surround us.

Hmm...maybe I should change my name to "CineYoda". wink

Nah - doesn't have a ring to it.

busy is good. still haven't made it out to that body exhibit.

have you ever heard of this place? I used to live in Philadelphia and visited often. Should you ever find yourself in Philadelphia, it seems like it might be right up your alley.

Yesterday MorningStar and I went tothe Body Worlds exhibit. It was amazing! unfortunately I couldn't take any photos. But it was really cool to see where your internal organs really set inside you.

Near the end there is a pregnant woman, with visible baby. And there are embryos and dead premature babys. It is both facinating and just a little disturbing. No one was killed...
