the good life










headband c/o wild and free jewelry, fringed dress c/o black pyramid, wholesale-dress.net top, tentacle & starfish pendant c/o silentcheesecake, hanging crystal necklace c/o nous savons, shorter crystal pendant necklace c/o my salvation,  metalicious knuckle ring, other jewelry from venice and flea market

Ventured to the craziest find 20 minutes outside of the city. Hidden away in overgrown weeds and brush was a tiny old motel, giant steel teepee, and this little abandoned gift shop. From what I gathered, the gift shop was built in 1909. Lots of broken and not broken things still packed away in there. I didn't take anything, though I wish I would have snagged that native american painting. I almost grabbed it but I heard movement in the attic as I went for it. Probably an animal, but in my mind I only could think of a scary old farmer that hides out and guards his treasures with a shotgun. So bam, gone. I didn't explore the teepee, but I will soon. 

Right now I am sitting in my 5th story apartment, windows wide open and listening to a blues fest going on outside. Ah, summer. Never leave, please? 

Also, I have been bombarded with giveaway requests, and I have decided yes on 3 of them. So expect a necklace, a shirt, and a ring, all coming soon to be given away. Stay posted, yo.

Thank you, Topshop. Gold and taupe is just what the doctor ordered. Can't wait for these babies to land a place in my overflowing closet.

Lenni Vintage shorts winner!






wholesale-dress.net sheer top
DIY cut off shorts
American Apparel crossback bra
Jeffrey Campbell shoes
Silent Cheesecake tentacle/starfish pendant
Nous Savons crystal necklace

After random.org-ing and finding out the number/person chosen DIDN'T follow the steps, I had to do it again and recount. Awesome, you who did that. Having that many people to count through is exhausting, wow. So, the winner of Lenni Vintage aztec shorts of choice is Amy Lee! More giveaways soon, I promise.



Quickly snapped some not so great photos of this outfit before rushing out with the friends. Prime example of why boobs are terrible. Luckily when I wore this out, it was dark, but in the daylight when I was getting ready, I looked rather ho-ish. If I had no boobs, this would not be an issue. Also, if you were wondering, yes, I do wear duct tape pasties almost every day instead of normal bras. Makes the ol' coconuts appear smaller and there's no issue when a breeze comes. 
I felt very witchy wearing this (good thing, mind you). Not only was I rocking my usual crystals and a pendant incasing a real tentacle and starfish around my neck, but the flowy black sheer top was rather Stevie Nicks inspired. This is actually even more dear to my heart because my mother grew up being told she looked like Stevie, and just so happens to love Fleetwood Mac. I put a photo of her and my dad at the bottom so you can see the resemblance. Stevie was a hottie, but I would say my mom was and is even more of a fox. Hope everyone had a great 4th! Favorite holiday for sure.

These 2 attractive people created yours truly almost 27 years ago. Nuts. I am so old!

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.

Aztec shorts GIVEAWAY still going on here.
