Drinkin Black Coffee

After an epic journey yesterday I got the rat babies back to the apartment. They are totally adoreable! since I dont have my camera here I took pictures of them with my computer.

The "Rat Mansion"


Me and Ojitous


Me and Caba


(background cameo by Gretchen, and yes LOVE my Cruel Hand hoodie!)

They are so hilarious, I love them already! I cant wait till theyre alittle bigger so I can teach them tricks. And yes you can teach them tricks! real awesome ones, like clapping, rolling over, knowing their name, all kinds of crap. I used to think that rats were creepy and weird as pets, but living in New York you learn to live with them so you might as well make um into pets right? haha.

Tonight I sleep. Tomorrow I have two shoots ughhh so tired. I just cant stop Ive gotten to far to give up now. I also have a casting apointment with UGLY NY which is one of the leading alternative modeling agencies in NYC so Im super nervous I hope they like me.

"We say Hey, not Eh"

The past 48 hours have been the most retardedly crazy 48 hours of my life this year thus far.. alow me to explain.

Saturday Me, Miss Jessica White and Sarah Von Zombie the Canadians all did a shoot together for Tattoo Life/ Tattoo Energy. It was insanely cold but it was awesome. Jessica is a total nerd like me, shes smart and awesome with a wicked sweet sense of humor. Her sister is the same way as well. Both of them have this energy about them that I love, Sarah is more of a punk and Jessica is more of a girly girl (which isnt a bad thing by all means) I loved them because it was like the two different sides of myself in two people, so of course hanging out with these beautiful bombshells was fantastic! The next time they come to NYC were going to run a muck! And they want me to come to Canada to hang out and go on murder mystery cruises haha! AWESOME!

(not pictures from the shoot)
Miss Jessica White and Sarah Von Zombie


My Canadian lurveesss

Later after the girls left, Susana, Jess and I got ready to go out to Ottos, the tiki bar on the LES. We get there and Tina with the grace of god gets Susana in (shes underage and all the rage!). I find out that The Brimstones are playing FUCK YES! One of the few bands I have yet to see amazingly enough. Jess ended up leaving because she wasnt feeling to good. So Susana and I became queens of the night and just had an amazing time hanging out with Tina, Alicia, Boom Boom, Katie, Sarah and the rest of the insane girl gang I roll with. Then we realized it was 4:30 and needed to get home! We got back to the apartment at 6am! 6AM! haha.

Yesterday Susana left and this is the whole days timeline

1:30-Find cat stuck on the ledge of my apartment. Play EMT and get super to save said kitty!
2:00-Leave with Susana for JFK airport.
3:30-Get to airport and say goodbye :[
4:30?-Susana gets arrested by port authority for having brass knuckles (cause shes a bad ass)
4:50-Me getting to LES to get silkscreening supplies and realizing I needed to be by the holland tunnel.
5:30-Me finally getting to silkscreening store to get supplies and get in the elevator after walking 10 blocks
6:00-Me FINALLY getting out of elevator that I got stuck in
6:02-My world shattering when the security guard who saved me told me the store was closed
7:00-Me getting home and getting 1,000 voice mails from Susana finding out about jail!
7:00-7:40- Time frame of me freaking the fuck out!!
7:40-Had go to go Ilana's to do photo shoot as a day of the dead bride
7:40-11:30-Me abusing puppy dog eyed boy as day of the dead bride
11:30-12:00-Me abusing said puppy dog eyed Sean boy and new addition "over the counter" Mike as day of the dead bride
2:00-Go to bed.

Serious you cant make shit like this up, yah just cant..

So this week I have a bunch of other things to do on top of school work of course.
-Get ratties! Ojitous and Caba!!
-Shoot with Eric
-Go to Lizzy Browns birthday dinner
-Shoot with CandyLust Candace
-Start newest painting.

Art News:
I got an email from a old friend of mine afew weeks ago about a painting I did a while ago asking to buy it. And since I do always like to keep the first of a series I told her Id make her one that was even better! Thus thats what Im doing its going to be insanely awesome. Afew set backs with what Im calling "The Anti Christ Project" I know its totally unoriginal but, I cant think of what to name them yet. Just some technical jargon that I dont want to get to deep into because it will give away all the suprises!

Also something strange I got this message on myspace saying I had a "tagged" image so I went and looked and its a picture of Me, Jess(Vaughn) and Amber Marie the day we met. I made me miss Amber and think of how awesome that time in the summer was.. ahh the good ol' days


The end!

That girl thinks shes the queen of the neighborhood

So the past few days have been shooting maddness here at St. Valentines. Susana is here and is awesome and I offically love her! We've been doing alot of awesome shoots and having a great time hanging out and wandering the city. Im making sure that she sees everything so she never wants to leave! However Ive been coming down with a bug and hopefully this wont effect the shoot saturday with Sarah Von Zombie, Miss Jessica White, Vaughn and myself. I dont want to be all gross for it haha.

I got this message from Cassie about the NYC couture show which is going to be fucking insane everyone needs to go!

"We have a shoe sponsor this season…JANTE…they make those sick stripper heels. The shoes are coming next week and I will let you know about when/where you can pick yours up so you can start to practice in these killers.

Guestlist…invite EVERYONE…but only send me guestlist names if they are press. This is not because I don’t love you…but the list will be 17million pages long if I have everyone give me their friend’s names/ect.

I wanted to save the best for last….are you ready? MTV will be filming the show. They started following me for “True Life: I’m at Fashion Week” 2 days ago…so they’ll be there for our run-through, the show, and all that fun. Thread Banger and New Pop (the online tv shows) will also be filming the show. I’m working like crazy to get TONS of press to this show…so it’s going to be excellente!!

I’ll be in touch very soon with more details as I get them. For now start inviting everyone you know!!


xox,

Cassie K.
New York Couture"

This means it will be big, huge, outrageous and amazing. Seriously, holy shit.

Instant Meso Soup, I love you.

So since Ive gotten into the NY Couture fashion show Ive tried to get into afew other shows as well. Hopefully this one photographer whom Im talking to now works out and I get into another show on the 15th!

This all means two things, going to the gym and the soup diet haha. Ive gained alittle pouch due to my love of Atlas and their vegan red velet cake cupcakes! But no more! good old fashion exersize and diet are the way to go! I heard this on Ugly Betty once and thought it was funny, " All these models are on the cheese cake cocaine diet" hahahaha. However thats not how I roll.

Friday after screwing up my ankle more I hobbled around doing waredrobe design/set design/ hair for Suicide Girl Calamity's set. I cant wait to get the pictures to post on here their freakin awesome! Then I went to the doctor and just need to ice my foot more.

I thought that this situation yesterday was hilarious and a funny story for all to know...

For all those whom havent see the movie "Best in Show" go see it, its hilarious. The cast is fantastic Eugene Levy, Parker Posey, Cathrine O'Hara. Theirs this one scene in the movie that reminded me of my day yesterday. Parker's character Meg Swan needs to find a bumble bee toy for their insane chocolate lab before the show. She goes to the pet store down below the hotel to find one after ripping apart her hotel room looking for it. I found a clip of it:



Yesterday I went to Petco, well 3 Petco's looking for this stupid igloo for the rat cage so Im all prepaired for when I pick up the babies next week. ALL I WANT IS A FUCKING IGLOO! No one has it! So finally I get to the 3rd Petco, its like 3 degrees outside and I tell the guy I need an Igloo like the ones in the cage (Small sidez not to big you know? and point to the ones inside the actual cages there) He goes we have this one, and im like no thats a large igloo I need a smaller one. Then he points to this thing that says "edible hut" and Im like nah man thats a hut ( a little tiki hut which was cute but not practical), it doesnt resemble and igloo at all. Then finally I like loose my mind haha. I see this woman in the corner holding up dogger sweaters to herself like shes buying them for her and not a dog and then I realized I was being just like Meg Swan and appologized to the guy and bought the Large igloo and some little toy thing too. It was just hilarious I couldnt stop laughing when I left hahaha. Im a wacko.



Once I figure out the damn code to this blog Ill be happy!

Black Coffee

So somehow earlier this week I twisted my ankle and am now a gimp haha but it doesnt hurt when I wear high heels? I think thats just my body telling me that im a whore for high heels and all I wear is pumps..hahaha.

I also met with Cassie of New York Couture this week and I get to shoot with her and Steve Prue and also am going to be in their fashion show during NYC Fashion week! So everyone has to come out to that Febuary 7th.

I didnt shoot with Candy Lust due to said gimpyness.

Today I styled and did MUAH stuff for Calamitys shoot for SG which was also fun.

And aparrently Mike the kid whom lives below me and cant decide what kind of music to play is one of the stars of that new Cloverfield movie. So thes premiere party is here tonight and he invited me and the roomies to go!

I also today found myself a new set of ratties to love from a breeder in NJ. I tried to get ahold of SG Squeek but she wont answer my emails :[ So I found someone else! We decided on their names also

Caballucos del Diablo


Ojitios


Keeping with the tradition of having rats with outrageous Spanish names we( Vaughn and I) decided on these. Caballucos del Diablo means "Devils small horse's" which is just fucking hilarious. And Ojitios is from my time in Texas with pin ups Ili Jean and Sin O'Rita, Ojitios is the sexy eyes you make at a dude at a bar but we made terrible faces insted hahaha. So Im going next week before Vestige gets here to get them in NJ. SWEET!

I also got the pictures from my shoot with Louche Lab, Enjoy!
















Im in the process of now masproduction of my latest maddness.. get ready people, shits going to blow minds!!

Pull up

I refuse to let this year go up in flames like Ive done so many times. Self sabotosh was always a fortay of mine so hopefully I can leave that all behind me and strive for good things, better things.

This year will be devoted to art first and foremost. Ive begun on a new venture into the land of blasphemy and I hope that my latest project will turn heads and hopefully give me enough bank so I can get to Norway and everywhere else I plan on going this year. I also plan on doing alot more make up artist/hair work in the modeling world so that atleast I can make more money. Im so excited to start casting these little beauties and paint . Do all kinds of fun shit in my fortress of solitude this will be the year of the hermit for sure haha I can see it now me wandering out into the light, burnning my eyes with a beard or something (because yeah im such a bad ass I can grow a beard?) clothes riped and it will be 2009.

Thus just because I crashed the car Im not going to let it get me down and fuck me up.

Ive also decided on some new tattoo ideas. I keep having dreams that Im a grandma with a full sleeve yelling at my grand kids to not tell on me for calling them gay..hahaha. But who knows?

Thursday this week Im meeting up with Cassie of NY Couture just to talk about working together and stuff, if all goes well hopefully Ill be in her Feb. Fashion show.

Turning heads every place we go.

Music: The Ronettes- Be my baby

So as always the absurd never seems to be to far behind. My sister put it best yesterday "your always two steps forward or two steps back, and when youre foward its in the wrong direction" haha I was very proud of that statement.

Monday I was kiddnaped and brought back to NJ to see my mom and such. I had a mess of things that needed to get done such as:

-Make doctors appointments
-Get my passport reissued (for Norway! FUCK YES)
-Make sure all my paper work went through for disability (Wahoo Dyslexia!)
-Go food shopping

So I did none of these things but the food shopping. Because I crashed my moms/my car on the way to see my cousin whom I havent seen for a year. It was pretty retarded. I have no colision insurance and since I just scratched the ladies car I hit she said I could just go and it was okay, the luck of the Irish was so on my side (she said if I needed any info from her she worked at Joyces Irish Cottage) hahah YES. So I got lucky, but unlucky cause I need 3,000 bucks to fix the car, AKA My Texas/Cali/Norway money...no dice. I checked the car myself and its just really body damage new Hood, Bumper and Light Fixture. Billy my sisters boyfriend agreed and told me how much it will be, Im so fucked.

For some reason this damned blog wont let me post the pictures to their actual size...




To top it all off I then slipped and fell down the stairs of my moms house..so their was only one thing to do...

Thus naturally I fled back to NYC my homeland to regroup and not drive haha.

Last night I went to see Outbreak/Bane/Have Heart/ With Honor. It was nice to see everyone as always. The Outbreak kids got me in on the list so that ruled. I havent seen the With Honor kids in forever and Mikey was with them which was pleasant too hes the best. I hit back afew Jack and Cokes, Thorns helped in me making an ass out of myself infront of a cute boy. Then the Outbreak kids drove back with me to BK where we went to Crown Fried Chicken and of course as always they were happy hhahha. Afew of them slept in the apartment, others in the van. This morning we woke up and I made everyone endless pancakes and eggs. I was even going to make them cookies for the road but they had to leave. Seriously I love those kids so much I just think back to my first trip to Maine hanging out with Chris and Nate all day and night theyre just such great guys.

Tonight I painted a mural on my door its pretty wack Im kinda insane but pictures later, for now I finally have the photos of my prints from last semester...



For those whom didnt know my beloved rat Le Chupacabra passed away December 13th last year, the day before my winter break..thus the night of her passing I painted this in memorial to her. Me and all my roommates will be getting matching rattoos of this for her sometime soon. She lived to be 120 in rat years (4 human years) She is definately missed.



I started to do really narly rat prints about 3 years ago and theyve just gotten more nastey and insane looking. This is a rat eatting baby skulls with little feti swimming around it. I thought of that lady and the tramp movie from Disney while doing this, in the scene where the rat tries to like eat the baby but that would never like SERIOUSLY happen.. atleast I dont think so. So I found it comical and made this out of that idea..hahah.



This is a Carosel horse breaking off from the group being a rebel bastard. I came up with this the week me and Naomi Nekro did a shoot in LBI on a Carosel.



Im just really fucking weird man...hahahah



This is based on Madam Gabrielle from my sideshow series. She was the first ever half woman and was a total babe. This however is not in my personal oppinion one of my favorite prints, I have more to add to it though, when its done ill start selling them I guess.



The story of this print is fucking awesome. Its from my sideshow series, her name was Myrtle and she was the first 4 legged girl. Maybe I fell inlove with her because her name is Myrtle the same as my late dear grandmother but the facts behind her "freakishnessss" make her all the more outrageous. Out of all of her legs only one worked well enough to walk with, however she could sway the other three as part of her act. She had two vagina's and gave birth to four children 3 out of one vagina and one out of the other. She was actually classified as a siamese twin but could control the actions of the other twin. HOW FUCKED IS THAT!



This is one of a bamillion pictures from my shoot last friday with Louche Lab. A husband and wife team I mentioned in my earlier entry. Theirs still a million more pictures but i havent gotten them yet.

I have a bunch of shoots within the next few weeks and now I need more then ever so I can pay this damn car shit off and get back to going all over the place.

Adapt, not me

This year brings new tidings with it, thus it only seems right that I would make a new journal to write them in. For those who have never met me and read this you might think alot of things in here are alittle outrageous or hard to understand, however yes my life is this ridiculous. To know me in short heres what you will need..

Im a retro pin up model (and no I do not get naked). Im an artist and have what some would like to call "artistic ADD" I work with a huge range of mediums so nothing gets repedative or boring. Im a certified cosmetologist and a certified custom framer. I dont believe in liking one kind of music. I drink Coca-Cola with Coffee. I live in Brooklyn but im originally from Jersey. Im absurdly dyslexic and cant spell for the life of me. I read alot of Existential philosophy and am in the process of writting my own book.

With that all being said heres my day today:

I had a photoshoot in Williamsburg today with a husband and wife team. They took me out to lunch before the shoot to this little taco place and it was awesome. We did the shoot for a vintage clothing collector and had a whole mess of waredrobe to play with. The makeup artist was this strange Brazillian woman who didnt really talk much. We used all these crazy vintage hats one of them I wanted to take so bad it was green with these obnoxious flowers. The shoot was more fashion which I like because lord knows I can only handle so much pin up stuff. Finally after several hours we got done shooting and I took the beloved G train home to Jess and Poppie.


Jess is one of 3 roommates I have (photographed above) AKA Vaughn Lacie. We live in a factory loft space with all our own bedrooms. Jess and I met on a photo shoot in Coney Island over the summer and have been the best of friends since, we used to have another roommate Amber who we also met on the shoot but she went insane and got married, which is a whole other story..With this new year has come a new roommate however, Gretchen whom I already love because yesterday she cleaned the bathroom for two hours! My sister Desiree also lives with us, but is never here because she goes back to NJ to see her boyfriend and work. Poppie is our Sheba Enu who we are fostering, he found a home yesterday and will be leaving us :[. The kid whom lives below me in my building cant decide whether or not he wants to play obo or the drums and it makes me furious. (this is happening right now) This has been an on going struggle with him and normally I just jump on the floor three times and he stops but I think hes going a bit insane...

Tonight Im hanging out with Greg Miller which will be awesome seeing as how I never see him. I sadly only see my NJ friends now rarely because even when Im there Im always at The Lanes with Kimmy getting drunk and creating some kind of misadventure haha.

So this being a new year and all I have afew "resolutions" that need to be taken care of:

-Stop spending money frivolously.
-THE YEAR OF EXPLORATION!
Texas, Norway, Georgia, Cali here I come!
