1. Why I (re)joined suicide girls?
This girl--Twwly and this one: Amina. Then theres Anomalisa and Luscious and a bunch of others. I love their opinions as much as their images. I love sets that incorporate humour and artistry.
2. This whole member review thing; Im less keen on. I love the idea of a site where women are in control of the way they are portrayed. Sure, the photographer takes the awesome pictures, but the women express their personalities...in a myriad of creative (very hot) ways.
3. Personally, I couldnt give a flying rats wether Paul in San Diego isnt too keen on, say, chicks with curves/shaved heads/missing limbs/[insert feature here]. I might like them. Im not the majority, but last time I checked the site line was something about celebrating alternative beauty -- which by definition is something outside the mainstream. Surely by opening up which sets go live to a vote reduces the type of woman depicted as one that best fits the collective tastes of the majority of community members. While the type of people likely to join a site celebrating alternative beauty/culture would naturally tend to be left of centre, this system seems to encourage meeting average tastes rather than pushing boundaries. And thats not very rock n roll.
4. But enough whingeing (as we say in Australia). On to positive things-- working on a series of paintings. Fun. I love working with oils, but I am a merciless critic of my own work and others. Zero tolerance for wankery---and this is art were talking about! My current awe is reserved for Keith Weesner. I really like his steam and highlights. He doesnt hide his technique behind a smokescreen, I like honesty in art. Gauguin happens to be my Current God and I am somewhat tempted to make the schlep to Canberra for the Lautrec (sp?) exhibition. Oh and people who rave about Degas? Please stop. They were all really fucking talented OK? I plan to never work from a photograph again if I can help it. I mean, really, how can you say youre all about the nature of light when youre squinting at a reflective, flattened image.
5. My latest source of music is this place. Recent discoveries? Scott H. Biram, Th Legendary Shack Shakers, Heavy Trash...and its all freeeee.
6. My new secret boyfriend is John Spencer.
7. My legs are so hairy today. I wax my legs occasionally. Not particularly often though.
8. About to run off and watch Breaking Bad with someone awesome.
9. Fresh garlic is the best. I want to grow my own next year.
10. Got to practice zamp sometime soon. Why are people always asleep when I get the urge to practice? Guitar is much more forgiving.
Got a haircut + colour today.

2: Glad things are on the up and up! I would be interested in seeing the progress, and/or finished product of your oil paintings. Go you!
3: the member review thing is lame, I agree " Paul" can suck it!
4: let the hair grow!
Cheers,
