This costume consists of an up cycled pair of pants combined with a simple wrap skirt and wrap top to match in bright pink and purple — two of my favorite colors. The pants were simple — cut the seam, serge the purple up the side and then attach the ties. The ties are made [...]

I have to give it up to Q for posting this link today. I have long thought these photo touched images are somewhat detrimental to the mental health of our society — this OpEd piece on the NY Times web site was a nice little reminder of it. I’m really amazing by the part when [...]

 These fabulous photos were taken in a photo shoot from March of 2008 done with Waldemar Horwat. The ever so amazing coat is done by Simone Shulz and the fabulous costume is done by Kelly Williams.           

Hunter (isn’t he hot? that picture is amazing!), Atreyu (who wore a mask which scared the children — but it was Halloween! aren’t masks okay?) and I were off to do a gig for a 6 year old. I acquired this gig through a beautiful woman I met on the N line some months ago [...]

I love butterflies! Here’s one that I absolutely loved making, though it took a really long time to do because of all the details. It lasted throughout the day really well though, which was fun.

Nothing in particular to say about any of these… though I do enjoy them.

But only one makeup job. And yes, that necklace is painted on. It makes hooping so much easier and I had to hoop at all 3 gigs.

When people saw decompress on my head, they mistakenly thought it was in relation to Burning Man, which I did not attend this year. Subsequently, they asked, “How can you be decompressing from an event you didn’t even attend?” I thought that was funny. And, while I didn’t go, up until a week before, I [...]

On this the 5 year anniversary of 9/11, I still believe we fundamentally need something different in terms of how we as humans interact if we are to survive and thrive as a race. I recently re-read this article about the war in Iraq by Ken Wilber and really resonate with his vision of how [...]

I was so happy to receive the really awesome bindis Vladlen got for me when he was away in India. In addition to those, I met a beautiful woman who was here from Bombay. She traded me some of these bindis for some poi lessons, so between the two new stashes I received, I was [...]

Done with that particular incarnation of a mohawk experiment, I was reinspired by the first day I had shaved my head. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the photo before the Gig, so this is the aftermath of sweat and performing and lost gems and decorations.
