I believe she was so much more than the woman she portrayed herself to be. An incredibly talented, funny, intelligent woman who underneath it all, tragically, lacked confidence and seemed to be constantly searching for love and acceptance. After reading about her life, her journal entries and poetry, I cannot help but feel a little sad every time I look at her image.
Despite decades separating us, there is something about her that I truly identify with, and today I felt like writing about it to show my appreciation for a woman I will always adore. There is no other quite like Marilyn and I don't think there ever will be. So I hope she will never be forgotten or cast aside as just a ditsy blonde, as she is the true testament to "never judge a book by its cover".

Historial fact of the day
"Elijah McCoy, son of former slaves who had escaped to Canada, studied mechanical engineering
in Scotland. After the Civil War, he moved to the United States and worked for the Michigan
Central Railroad. Because the railroad company could not imagine an African American engineer,
he was hired to run the boiler and lubricate moving parts of the train.
In 1872 Elijah patented his first invention, a self-regulating lubricator.
His device was so successful that buyers of steam engines would ask if the lubrication systems were the "Real McCoy"."
... hence the phrase.

As unfortunately it seems so damn expensive to buy a house now a days, I thought this article about a lady, Sandra Foster was completely inspiring. With little money and living in a trailer, she made a beautiful, tiny house in the middle of a forest in New York. Converting an old hunting cabin with only $3000.
Truly showing you can make any house, no matter how small, a home. So cute!

Punk rock has the power to change the world,
It lies in every punk rock boy and girl.
So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth,
These streets are your streets,
This turf is your turf!
Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in,
'Cos you can make a difference,
You can change everything!
Just let your dreams be your pilot,
Your imagination your fuel,
Tear up the book and write your own damn rules.
Use all the heart, hope and soul that you've got,
And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut,
And realize that the other world that you're always looking for,
Lies right here in front of us,
Just outside this door.
And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas,
After all, you were put on the earth to do this.
So shine your light so bright that all can see,
Take pride in being whoever the fuck you want to be!
Throw your fist in the air in solidarity,
And shout - VIVA LA PUNK, JUST ONE LIFE, ANARCHY!
From 'What if punk never happened' by The King Blues

This picture depicts me having dinner with a shark which I often do and sometimes can be a tense situation, but ultimately we have a lovely time. Thank you Lauren!

It is refreshing to walk into a gallery and not have to read too much into the work you are looking at but just enjoy the sight and think "That is awesome!"

New Beginnings
I finally started a blog after meaning to for quite some time.
My hope is to post up any thoughts, photos and creative outbursts that I have as I go along. Being extremely forgetful it's good for me to note things down so I can look back and not lose awesome memories of the past.
I already have loads of things to post up from the past couple of months, but that's for another day...
For now, over and out.
