Hell City Blog! + (new multi preview!)
Hell City is quickly becoming my favorite time of year! ^___^
This year I got to stay with the always amazing Alissa, Durb, and Rourke at the hotel, get tattooed by Adam France, perv on lots of cute girls, and make some awesome new friends!
Pictured: 28+ hours with no sleep.
My amazing tattoo from Adam France @ Red Tree Tattoo in Columbus. We did this from midnight to nearly 4am the night before the convention started lol.
Convention antics and sexy photoshoots
Soon-to-be-hopeful Shipwreck
Glitch & WIt multi
Tovi and I found the bottom of that vodka bottle in there
The super sexy Vellin shot with Alissa
I can't wait to go back next year! If you haven't been before then you're definitely missing out! I can't wait to find another excuse to go back up. I have a couple of things already planned for my next visit
Oh, and guess what I got to take a look at yesterday! Phecda and I cooked something up with Alissa during the SG Spring Party. You can expect to see this pop up in member review at noon on May 29th (the day after my birthday!) I still can't believe I got to cuddle up with her!

Hey men! This blog is for you. And it's about you. Two birds, one stone, eh? Did someone say stones? Don't worry, men, I'll get to your balls in a minute. (Ba dum chhh)
First off, I have some good news. That's right, you should totally care about this, guys. I just wanted to say that I, from this point on, am totally okay with being portrayed as an anal-retentive, nagging, can't open a jar by herself, ruin everybody's fun type of woman in most every commercial ever that depicts both genders. I'm most notably talking about commercials from the last 20 - 30 years because, let's get real ladies, we knew better than to leave the kitchen before that. Right? *good-natured rib nudging*
I'm sure you're dying to know why I'm totally okay with this, right? Because, as I said up there ^^, you should totally care about this and my views on it. *emphatic nodding* You know, because I said so. I'm okay with this because today, as I ever so hung-overly (that's a word, right?) read an article on Cracked this morning (the world's highest standard in hard-hitting factual journalism that is in no way 99% of the time completely list-based), I realized that in all of those commercials that depict me as a smug, obnoxious twat, you're all being portrayed as slack jawed, socially and evolutionarily inept neanderthals who can't go more than 30 seconds without questioning their manhood and thinking about their balls. (See, it took a minute, but I promised we'd get to your balls.)
"Take away the loofah and just admire that fully erect penis of a bottle."
Now men, I wouldn't expect you to be aware of this. If these commercials marketed specifically to cater your simplistic and testosterone driven pattern of thinking are any indication, it's not your fault that your too stupid to see what idiots you are. (I hope these commercials also encourage you to read satire. Are any of these commercials about Swift's "A Modest Proposal"?)
The article I'm referencing here is "The 5 Most Insulting Ways Products Are Advertised to Men" and some men, most men, should actually be kind of pissed off about how they're being portrayed in the form of media that's driven into peoples' heads the hardest. (I'm sure there's a joke about violent fellatio in there somewhere.) Yeah, women whine about being shafted (heh, shaft) by being portrayed as nagging sticks in the mud, and I'm sure you've heard enough women in your life at some point say something like "blah blah blah, misogynistic pig, blah blah blah." Get it, because women never shut up and all they do is whine, right men? *more good-natured rib nudging* But seriously, you guys are getting boned too (heh, boned.) and you maybe you should be a little pissed about it? (The last part is a question because I'm a woman and, as such, no good at thinking about things that aren't directly related to cooking or cleaning.)
Please don't think I'm talking down to you, guys. I'm on your side here. My poor and less than eloquent use of sarcasm may not make it sound like I am if you are one of the individuals that this core marketing is being pushed towards but, c'mon guys, I really am on your side, here. And if I'm not, hey, I have boobs, so how bad can I really be, right? (Unless you believe commercials, then I'm kind of a cunt.)
Proof: Boobs, I have them (also, while I'm vaguely not-really insulting your mental capacity, this would be a great time for you to go show some support to my boobs in my set. *nonchalant whistling*)
If you've even made it this far through this blog that is more words than boobs (my apologies for that, by the way) then congratulations! You've defied what is apparently the startling level of ineptitude and you deserve a cookie! (I don't have any cookies, though. I'm sorry about that, too.) But seriously, on a certain level I always realized how over-hyped and testosterone driven these commercials are. It's hard not to. The whole "manliness" of it all is really shoved down your throat (Giggity). After the guys who wrote this article really put things in perspective, it actually became really funny.
"Take Gillette's Mach 5, for example. What makes a razor deserve the name Mach 5? Do they know how pants-shittingly fast that is? What exactly was Gillette going for by naming a razor blade after a speed that will literally remove your colon?"
They were going for HOW FUCKING MANLY IT IS. TESTICLES.
"Have you ever wondered why products like Coke Zero exist, when Diet Coke is already a thing? It's because the word "diet" is too feminine, because dieting is something only chicks do."
Dieting? That's for chicks. And you're a MAN, RIGHT!? (seriously, it plainly states that this dressed up product exists specifically for marketing to '20-something' men because diet coke is targeted to women.)
I guess what I'm getting at is that men should be just as whiny as women are about how they're being portrayed unfairly is mass media. We should all be embarrassed that it's this easy to market to us based on gender. We, men and women, are saying that we're too stupid to think for ourselves and need to base our choices on whether or not a product is masculine or feminine enough, and what it says about us that we use said product. And, if I'm just going to jump into grand generalizations here, we're allowing mass marketing advertising agencies to assign us to socially constructed gender roles. Disagree? Fine, but guys, when was the last you bought "Secret Platinum" deodorant instead of, I don't know, shoving a cheeseburger in your mouth while rolling around in the dirt and grunting at each other? ... Exactly.
[TL;DR - I'm embarrassed for us, people as a whole, that we're so simplistic as to buy whatever is shoved into our faces simply because we're told we need it and we're told it suits our gender accordingly. I'm basically just disappointed that we're not more complex than this. Bummer. Also, testicles. ♥ ]

So, I'll start by shamelessly touting my set in MR right now "Dipped In Pink".
Unfortunately, it hasn't been my most well received set to date
I'm not going to plead for votes or anything, but any support you choose to give would be beyond appreciated! I may not always have the time to go through and thank everyone individually for their kind words, but I do absolutely read every single comment you guys leave. On the subject, while I don't have anything queued I'm hoping I can find a way to put out something new for you guys!
In other news, I finally got my chest piece (somewhat) finished. We have a quite a bit of touch-up work to do on it when i get back from the SG St. Patty's Day party in Ohio this weekend as it obviously is still a bit rough looking. I'm thinking about asking her if we can go back and create a background of blue and aqua light rays behind the design. I'd like it to be bigger and have a little more too it. It just feels incomplete for some reason.
Sorry about the quality, my phone's camera doesn't have a protector so the tiny scratches it has accumulated has the the camera into complete shit lol.
Oh, so here's something new, (well, not really new, but new to me) I found a FB page called "I HATE TATTOOS" this morning. They seem to be very content in spreading completely unproven nonsense such as "tattoos cause cancer" and supports and encourages other people who have openly stated that they "go out of their way to avoid people with visible tattoos" and that they generally view people who have any manner of tattoo to be beneath them and overall "trash". basically, it's not even so much as they hate tattoos but are placing open judgement over the people who have them.
Unfortunately, most of the counter posts from the oppositional point of view seemed to be what you'd expect; flaming, trolls, vulgarity laced nonsense making any similar points of view seem ignorant. Not that it will make any large difference, but I wanted to try to put some sort of well thought out "voice of reason" argument out there...
I dunno, this probably seems like such a minimal thing to get upset over but I really just can't stand how okay people have become with shameless, willful ignorance running rampant. Don't like tattoos? Don't get any. And especially don't support and encourage hatred and judgement of those who do choose to get them. Seriously, how do my tattoos affect you and your life? I'm fairly sure that they don't... [/rant]
Lastly, on a very solemn note, RIP melaniek. Your strength was and still is beyond inspiring. Even in your final days you were more worried about everyone around you more than yourself. You were too good for this world and that's why you were taken from us so soon. I'll try to cry for you no more, as it's not what you'd want from us. Instead I say cheers to you, and celebrate your life. I truly believe there is a better place out there for people like you, Melanie, and I hope you find peace. ♥
Twinkies and Octopus hugs ♥ xx Anna
