The other night I conducted a little experiment called "what happens when you mix dodgy mail order pharmaceuticals with a bottle of wine" (Okay… so maybe that doesn't sound too smart, but boredom combined with the extremely irritating sensation of healing tattoo itchiness made it seem like an absolutely brilliant idea at the time)
The result was a fabulously inebriated evening of taking my frustrations out on a piece of paper (God I miss doing 'real art'… there's something so soothing about the act of channeling all the chaos in your head through the tip of a pencil.)

Here was the end product….



Florida has been an interesting experience thus far. I was hoping to shoot a new SG set today but the last time i stepped foot outside I got mauled by mosquitos and therefore I currently find myself covered in horrible unsexy little red bumps. Lovely.
Yeah… I know… that's what photoshop is for… but Im not sure Im ready yet for round two of being eaten alive as the original plan was to shoot outdoors.

Does anyone know of a really good anti vampiric bug remedy? that "OFF" spray just isn't cutting it. (My blood must be like champagne to those little fuckers)

Speaking of photos… Dijiti l took some AMAZING photos from one of my sleeve sessions up at Exo Graphix. I <3 him! He's such a little photographic genius… and I adore the way he captured my shameless narcissism perfectly in the mirror shot








rawr…

Im going in today to book a touch up appointment… for those who missed it in my last blog… here was the finished piece of skin and ink…




Is it too soon to have more work done??? Shall I fight the tattoo addiction and wait a while before I dive in asking for more pain and more permanent pictures to be scribbled on my body? … Or shall I give into my urges and justify it by telling everyone around me currently screaming at me to stop that "I was bored, had a pocket full of money and nothing better to do."

Ahh the joy of being on holiday and being reckless…

Yay for new ink! my full sleeve is DONE! (in 4 savage sessions in the space of 2 weeks... savage but totally worth it!)



BIG LOVE to Thomas Morrow from Exographix in Destin, Florida for turning my arm into a work of art! I absolutely ADORE IT ... (and can't wait to rock it in a new photo-set in the near future!)

Just had to show it off!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday!

XOXO

Odissi's morbid full sleeve of doom tattoo photo update! #2



So I had my 3rd session last night… As you can see…we finished up the line art and got started on the shading for my anatomical heart and evil skeleton horse. (Bless my tattooist… he's really done a brilliant job to take a load of random an I should add, abstract images, and piece them together to make one work of art that I just know is going to turn out something fabulous! I'm going back in today (hopefully to finish it once and for all!)

Joe Dijitil came along yesterday and took some amazing "work in progress shots" (which included some very amusing images of me making 'OH MY GOD IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE DRILLING THROUGH MY FUCKING ARM' faces when those fill in needles got near my elbow…. Ha! hopefully I'll have those to share (so you lot can have a giggle at my expense) in the very near future.

Hey look! we even fit in a little SG logo to the art … cliche? maybe… but I really am so proud to be a part of this site and everything it stands for…It's part of my life/who I am and I figured if anything it's a fitting tribute to all of the awesome people I've met here, all the adventures (past and future) and the endless hours of online entertainment this site has bestowed upon me.

*ahhh..… warm fuzzies*

More photos soon! Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!

XOXO

Work in progress photos of my new tattoo! (full sleeve)

Line art is almost done... going in today to finish it / do the background... then going in again next week for fill ins / shades! YAY!... I'm sooooooo freaking happy with it.... especially since my main reason for getting it was to cover up my scars left on my arm from my nervous breakdown last year new skin... new start... It's going to be sooo nice to actually be able to o out in public wearing a sleeveless top an not have to worry about getting evil glares for being a cutter. (although that being said... I guess I'll still get some evil glares... but i rather get glares because the pretty pictures on my arm caused offense rather than glares for being judged as some emo attention seeking headcase)

onwards and upwards! new skin = new start
seriously looking forward to sharing the end result .....

hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!
xoxox

HAPPY FRIDAY...
Here's a little something for those who dig chicks in glasses....

I cant believe I went so long without them... who cares if I look like a geek... I CAN SEE! ... and THAT ... is fucking awesome!

Going into town to pay the deposit for my full sleeve in a few... SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
I met with the tattooist yesterday to discuss it and he seemed really sweet.... I have total faith that he's gonna rock it for me... photo report coming soon

What's everyone else up to this weekend? anything fun?

xoxo

No need to start planning my funeral you sick fucks. No… I didn't OD at SXSW...NO... I didn't convert to Christianity and run away to one of those scary Middle American "God Farms" No… I wasn't kidnapped and held ransom by a gang of lesbian hillbilly freaks and i sure as hell wasn't abducted by anal probing aliens. That's right I'm still alive and actually back in London. (Home Sweet Home)…For the moment at least

Yeah I know, So this month's issue of Indecent disclosure is a bit later than usual…deal with it… I've been jetlagged and crazy busy. *she says grumpily as she stares at her mile long to-do list that is has been preventing her from going outside and enjoying the first decent bit of weather England has seen in ages…*

Sigh….
March and the first couple weeks of April were a fabulous blur of airport lounges, late nights, loud music and shameless intoxication. Unfortunately for me I was just starting to enjoy a regular sleep schedule and the comfort of a familiar bed when the realization hit me that from Friday I get to start the process all over again.

Ahh the tribulations that accompany a career as a touring musician...
(file this away under First World Problems)

As the calendar page turns at the end of this month, May and June promise to bring with them new chapters of adventure and mishaps to my already exceedingly colorful life. More late nights, more travel, beach party gigs in my old Florida stomping grounds, a couple of pre-Burn festivals out in Idaho and a little DJ Tour of the Northwestern states (details to be announced soon) to look forward to. As for any spare time between those events… I intend to spend it on the beach, in a comfy beach chair, under a big umbrella, mac book pro powered studio in my lap working on my album whilst I sip fruity alcoholic beverages and check out hot surfer boys…

(ok… so I was kidding about the fruity alcoholic beverages and the checking out hot surfer boys part, but I definitely intend to put some production hours in on the beach…try to catch a vibe from the surroundings and all that.
And besides my gullible internet lovelies…you should all know by now that I prefer my men over the age of 35 complete with grey hair and a studio tan…AND GOD KNOWS it will more likely be Jager from the bottle if any form of creative intoxication is to be involved.**

Ok enough about me… onto the blog…

Im gonna start this off with a bit of recommended listening… (actually I've got lots of recommended listening for you guys this time around.)



While admittedly I was too busy either recovering from or partying at my own gigs to really get out and enjoy the array of amazing underground talent that SXSW has to offer, I did manage to devote at least one evening to barhopping with my label mates. For the Electronic Music crew that end up at SXSW such a afternoon can be quite an interesting experience…After stumbling into (and very quickly stumbling out of) what appeared to be some kind of cowboy style blues bar we ended up at a venue called Emos (with expectations that music would be as ominous as the name implied.)

What a pleasant and unexpected surprise we got as we were greeted by pure, upbeat, audio ear candy being dished out by The Royal Bangs.

Im not entirely sure what genre this quirky 3 piece from Knoxville should be filed into…. Completely original "Indie Nu-funk Psychedelic Electro Party Music" made even more captivating by the quirky voice and epic keyboard/sequencing skills of their front man. The majority of the bass being played live was synthetic… which the producer geek in me LOVED because it gave their overall sound the kind of warm-gooey stomach shaking heaviness that any dance music lover could totally appreciate. From my own experience in a hybrid type band… I know how difficult it is to get that balance right… That being said, Royal Bangs I salut you for pulling it off flawlessly.

Check the awesomely trippy video for their track "War Bells" below, then watch the other video of their live gig at Emo's and see why I was so instantly smitten by these guys.

This month's eyecandy feature is dedicated to Laurie Lipton.
I've been a fan of this artist ever since I stumbled across her work in the pages of Juxtapoz a fair few years back. I love her even more now that she's teamed up with my favorite clothing line All Saints
Roll on payday! I'll be buying all of these
Her drawings are a beautiful combination of the morbid and the surreal. Below are some of my faves….

Im going to wrap this one up with something a bit random. In addition to raising hell, making music, getting my tits out and globe trotting… I also have a passion for cooking…. Those who follow me on twitter are most likely already aware of this as I tend to tweet images of my creations from time to time. I've had a load of requests for the recipe to this beauty….



which I like to call "The Strawberry Sex Cake of Doom" ….
That being said, I've decided to share it…. Stoners and Domestic Divas take note! It seriously tastes as good as it looks!

Ingredients
2oz (50g) butter
10 honey glazed graham crackers
A handful of chopped pecans
3 tablespoons of caster sugar
2 large eggs
3 teaspoons of vanilla extract
142ml of sour cream
strawberries
blueberries
bakers white chocolate

Method
First melt the butter, then crush the graham crackers to fine crumbs. Combine them with the melted butter and chopped pecans then press the mixture evenly over the base of a lightly oiled pie tin. (I use the disposable tinfoil ones… less crap to wash up)

In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of caster sugar together until it's smooth. Next beat in the eggs and the vanilla extract and pour it into the pie tin over your base.

Bake on the center shelf for 25-30mins at 350 degrees….

While it's baking… mix your soured cream with 1 tablespoon of caster sugar, when the time is up… crank the oven temperature up to 450 and spoon the soured cream on top of the cheesecake…bake for 5 more minutes…

Remove from the oven and let it cool… then top with sliced strawberries and melted white chocolate. Stick her in the refrigerator to chill for about 2 hours… remove… and eat it… (preferably naked and in bed with someone sexy…)


Well that's all from me! I'll leave you with some obligatory shameless self promotion. (I just had a new single released… Wh0oo Hoo0o!). Expect another update once I get to Florida… I'm finally booking myself in to have a some new ink and will be dragging my bestest buddy Joe and his awesome camera along with to document the occasion. Yep...More pretty pictures and more bitching about jetlag.
Watch this space.







Dance music's reining princess of all things twisted returns to Lot49 with a follow up to her first solo release on the label, (Empty Vodka Bottles), which was unleashed on the dance scene last September.

'Dirty Secrets' is a naughty techno perversion of an original rock track taken from her Sex & Circuitry project album which was produced alongside guitarist Jim Davies, better known for his axe wielding in bands such as The Prodigy and Pitch Shifter.

Re-creating the original underground electro-rock anthem into something entirely different, and far more fucked up, Odissi takes back her lyrics and flawlessly transforms the initial idea into a brooding, industrial electro monster.

True to her signature sound, she once again injects her music with her sleazy and sultry spoken word vocals, this time in a poetic description of Soho's vibrant red light district, transvestites, gay bars and seedy brothels.

On the Remix duties, Lot49 has appropriately called in one of the hottest names from Italy's bubbling underground techno scene, Dyno. Equally known for his love of dark techy grooves, Dyno strips back the vocal and dubs it out, twisting the original into something that wouldn't sound amiss as the soundtrack to an S&M Orgy. Sleazy and gritty synths roll along tight and driving drums and disorienting guitar stabs. Late night dancefloor headfuckery guaranteed.

For those like the tempo pushed a little harder there' s also a remix by Hedflux who as of late has been creating quite a buzz with his fresh and distinctive flavor or cerebral tech-funk. In his remix of "Dirty Secrets" he stays true to his sound, drawing on energy from breaks, techno and psychedelic styles, resulting in a fusion of deep driving bass grooves, thumping drops and intricate neon synth-play.

I've been waiting for this to come out for almost a year now so needless to say I'm super happy to see it out to the masses at last!

Anyways.. that's all from me for now... I've actually got LOADS to say / lots of adventures and tales of debauchery to share from my week at SXSW... but that's all going to have to wait till next week as I've yet to get around to editing the mass of photos / video that I shot. It will happen soon though! Promise....

You know small town life is starting to effect you in a very strange way when putting on an outfit made from items found in the kitchen drawer and posing in bondage photos with strategically positioned fruit becomes an acceptable form of afternoon entertainment.

I kid you not! 3 weeks into my self exile to the "Redneck Riviera" and my sanity is clearly starting to suffer.
*See photographic proof below*



… yep… told you.
That being said, I apologize if this blog reflects my current mental state. As usual my head is a mess of fabulous and fucked up thoughts made slightly more disorganized by the fresh air and the fact I've been spiking my coffee with booze every morning. Nothing like a few shots of Disaronno and enough caffeine to make a horse feel buzzed to kick start long days of doing absolutely nothing.
I could get used to this "life break" stuff… It's nice ditching all your financial responsibilities, surrounding yourself in nature and living in your own little bubble of relaxation and creativity… even if it means getting eaten by mosquitos and learning to love thick southern accents all over again.

Its been an epic struggle against my newfound distaste for anything that involves me being productive … but I've pulled my finger out and managed to scrape together a new edition of Indecent Disclosure to bring you audio goodies, eyecandy and hopefully a few "lolz" as well in addition to some essential updates for those hardcore few who actually give a rats ass about what's going on in my life / career at the moment.
That being said...
Hey Look, It's a new DJ Mix.

*insert gasps of shock and disbelief here*
Yeah, I know… I hardly ever grace my fans with new DJ mixes… lucky for you guys, the mindless dribble and non-stop barrage of country and western on American FM radio has chipped away at my nerves enough to prompt me to put a mix together for my own in-car listening pleasure. Behold, a 60 minute compilation of easy on the ears tech house and techno… And if you listen all the way to track 12.. you can even catch a sneak peak of my next single on Lot49 (out April 5th!).
