amurica

Random unknown rusty truck made everything look 10x more redneck.


Making bombs

Truck luv.

Just some fried chicken between our toes. Pretty normal.



Again with the redneck. I swear we are NOT hillbillies. Everything my brother does is for laughing purposes. Found that weird foot thing? P90Pedal?





Our own personal show.

Driving at night on the 4th can be rather challenging due to the thick smoke fog. And mmm sulfur smell. 



What a night. Only some burnt hair and a few burn holes in shirts. The 5th of July is always a pretty rough day for me. Sigh. Tomorrow I announce the winner of the aztec shorts giveaway. Cross yo fingers!

I go through bouts of obsessing over conspiracies and right now I'm back on my "new world order/Illuminati" kick. It's really quite interesting, and if the Illuminati still do exist today, there is nothing any single person could do about stopping their world takeover plan. Do you know about Bohemian Grove? If not, you should read up on the conspiracy surrounding it. Super nuts. Basically all of the most powerful CEOs, politicians, and just the wealthiest males spend time at this "males only" redwood forest club known as Bohemian Grove near San Fran. Obama's been there. Clinton's been there. Bush. Everyone. Male. What goes on there is unknown, but they say it's like a mens only party where they discuss important things and just "hang out" for a few weeks. It's been theorized that actually they go there and are basically brainwashed to do what the Illuminati want them to do, and they even supposedly worship a giant pagan owl statue. (owls are an extremely pagan symbol, as are pyramids, the all seeing eye, black and white checkerboard, etc). Well, a guy put together a film after he infiltrated Bohemian Grove, to show what goes on there. The whole club is outdoors, filled with skull and bone decor, and drunk rich guys all wearing khakis and hanging out. Weird bagpipe music plays during the day, and at night it is NUTS. The guy who is filming captures a super odd...presentation?...cult ritual...? on film. All these richies get together at night by this giant 40 ft owl and watch as a ritual goes on where the owl named Lucifer is given an effigy (fake human sacrifice) and a bunch of catholic looking leader men pray to this statue. More goes on, and it is entirely nuts, but you can watch the video here.


On the internet this question is answered. Or supposedly true:

What activities take place at the Bohemian Grove? The grove is the site of a two week retreat every July (as well as other smaller get-togethers throughout the year). At these retreats, the members commune with nature in a truly original way. They drink heavily from morning through the night, bask in their freedom to urinate on the redwoods, and perform pagan rituals (including the "Cremation of Care", in which the members wearing red-hooded robes, cremate a coffin effigy of "Dull Care" at the base of a 40 foot owl altar). Some (20%) engage in homosexual activity (but few of them support gay rights or AIDS research). They watch (and participate in) plays and comedy shows in which women are portrayed by male actors. Although women are not allowed in the Grove, members often leave at night to enjoy the company of the many prostitutes who come from around the world for this event. Is any of this hard to believe? Employees of the Grove have said that no verbal description can accurately portray the bizarre behavior of the Grove's inhabitants.  

But Bush, Clinton, every other male that's been there says they "can't talk about what goes on there," or they just get really awkward and don't totally answer the question. You can also find these clips on the internet where they get all tongue-tied. Anyway, really freaking weird, and I want to go to the Bohemian Grove. Too bad I am a woman. And not extremely rich. Workers at the grove also are very hush hush and say they don't want to repeat what goes on there. Here is a drawing of what the guy saw at the grove.


Anyway, sorry to bore you if that's what I did. I think it is extremely interesting to a point where I obsess for period of time. Our leaders are doing things that we have no idea about, and they possibly have an entirely different agenda than what we are told. Oh, my neck feels better. Doc gave me meds. Yippee drugs yippee.

don't you love a discount code

Skull/stone bangles and long chain necklace from Opulent Oddities

I am writing this as I sit here with a folded up, roped towel wrapped around my neck like a tourniquet turtle neck. My neck is in severe pain and I cannot look to either side, up or down, or even stand up without having issues. I look very Stephen Hawking when I do end up turning to move or look at something. Not quite sure what is going on, but this is a-w-f-u-l. I wanted to go out and enjoy my weekend but nope, I'm left sitting here being a neck gimp. So just a forewarning, this may be a rambling post. 

I have had my blog for 6 months now. It's a ton of fun, but boy is it like having another job. I can understand how people could be full time bloggers for their career. And people who do outfit posts every day, wow! That's some committed and dedicated awesomeness right there. To brutally interrupt myself, a weirdo guy was hitting on my friends and I last night and I told him that I had a bacterial infection of the youknowwhat from an std to get him to go away but I think that only made him more intrigued, as he did NOT leave. Some guys are so beyond clueless that it boggles my mind. Who willingly and immediately tells you they have an std and still wishes you would talk to them? Yikes. Learn some distance, weirdo dudes. (and no, I do not have stds.)

Anywaaaaaaaay. Are you liking those sweet bangles on muh wrist? You need to opennewtab this page and check out Opulent Oddities rad jewelry. If you like my style, you'll love her style. And she is giving my readers a 20% discount on anything in her store. Just enter the code strawberry20 at checkout. Heck yes, right?

stabbing belt + peace








UO belt
thrifted top
Black Willow Jewelry shark tooth necklace
DIY crystal necklace

It's hard to tell, but the table behind me has a giant peace sign spray painted on it. Randomly happened upon this thing. Was this before or after the storm of the day? Can't remember, we've had so many. None like the one I have pictured below. That was just the beginning, brewing black clouds above the city looking nutso. Somehow it resulted in NOT a tornado. Here, at least.  

Do you like that little number on my wrist/hand? Needs no other bracelets, lemme tell you. I got this courtesy of Darkling Studios. A magical gypsy jewelry shop, yet again. You know how I love those. Pay Darkling Studios some love here. Otherwise, shark tooth necklace from Black Willow Jewelry. Love me some teeth around my neck. Did you guys know that sharks are actually my favorite animal? I am fascinated by them. One time while boogy boarding (haha, yeah lame whatev') a shark head popped out of the ocean right next to me and scared the living heck out of me, as you could imagine. Come to find out, it was not alive, and not even a full shark. It had been freshly bitten off right under its fins, so naturally I grabbed it by those suckers and boarded back to shore where I could poke and prod. Did you know sharks feel like sandpaper? Not smooth at all. Anyway, something killed a shark. So...I didn't go back in the water. 

Any cool shark stories anyone? Probably not, probably just pain and death. In that case, don't depress us all. Or do.


 I photographed that random jewelry because I was convinced I would be sucked up in a massive tornado a few nights ago, so I packed up a "dash-to-the-basement-and-hide" bag with money, my laptop, some clothes, and a purse full o' jewelry, which later got dumped out onto my couch and now I have to sort though and put away. UGH.

 Hung out at the parents house the other day. My broseph is painting this cow skull he found a long time ago. Quite the artist, he is. Maybe if I am lucky this will end up in my livingroom?
