My Prized Possession

To most, this is just a piece of junk. Anyone looking through my utensil drawer would think I should have tossed it long ago.  Afterall, it's no longer functional. It just takes up space!  In my eyes it is beautiful. All of its imperfections are part of its story. Part of MY story. In 1984 I was moving into my very first apartment.  I was about to have my own kitchen.  I had nothing to put in it of course except for a set of dishes I purchased at a yard sale and some glasses Id collected from work lol. My mother took me to the store and bought me a set of pots & pans.  She also reached into her own utensil drawer and took out this very spatula.  It was one of her older ones.  Its handle already had several battle wounds from being against the side of a skillet a little too long as she used it to prepare meals for my dad and me. Over the years I have used it to prepare meals for my own family.  My children used it as they learned to cook.   I

Speak Easy

Good Morning followers and art aficionados,
Its 3:30am  Alaska time and -2 degrees.
I've got one latte down and just about ready for my second lol

Have you seen  The Lost City of Z starring Charlie Hunnam?!
It got 4 & 1/2 stars on the rotten tomato meter. It's a long movie. 2hrs & 20 minutes worth.
But man is it good, and based on actual events to boot!

The Synopsys -
   Set in the 1920s and based on author David Grann’s bestseller, it tells the incredible true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region. Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment who regard indigenous populations as “savages,” the determined Fawcett supported by his devoted wife (Sienna Miller), son (Tom Holland) and aide (Robert Pattinson) returns time and again to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case, culminating in his mysterious disappearance in 1925.
 An epically scaled tale of courage and passion told in writer/director James Gray’s classic filmmaking style, The Lost City of Z is a stirring tribute to the exploratory spirit and a conflicted adventurer driven to the verge of obsession.

Put the kids to bed, grab some microwave popcorn and drinkage, put your cell phones and tablets in the other room and kick back.
This is another one that you don't want any distractions. You will miss something important.

I'm ready to visit the coffee altar again, but before I do I wanted to share a promo I did a while back featuring
the PeekaBoo Dress for Genesis 8 female by Kaleya and the InStyle Texture set that goes with it by -Valkyrie-
Its a hot little number with a peek-a-boo cut out in the midsection.
The textures give you lots of versatility so she can wear this in a variety of settings.
I can see this with a sweet pair of mary janes or even some thigh high boots.





The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
Swing on over & add it to your wardrobe. Id love to see what you create with it!
See ya tomorrow,
and enjoy the flick!

YouTube Red, Take Ten and Gwen

Good morning everyone! Its 5:17am Alaska time and the holding at+23 degrees. The wind was howling all day yesterday. It finally seems to have calmed. I was waiting with baited breath for the power to die lol. Hence the reason for not being here yesterday. I eeked out one promo and shut it down for the day. I found a show on YouTube Red called Escape The Night yesterday . Have you seen it? It's like one of those murder mystery getaway thingies. They have to solve various types of puzzles to find the next clue. Synopsys: In this surreality competition series, 10 guests are invited from the modern world to attend a dinner at the host's newly acquired mansion estate, which has been locked in the 1920's. This is a dinner party to die for. No one is safe. Ok, I'm ready for Latte #2. Before I go, I want to share an artistic promo I did via Sympatico Studio featuring  The lovely Take Ten Jumper by Nirvy. It's a Dforce garment and is perfect for a relaxing nigh
Hey peeps, let's talk about promos, and what makes a good one! Well, it really depends on what the product is. For example, if you wanted to promo a town or forest. You want to show as much of it as you can without it being obvious. Perfect example by Anita. The figure is just a part of the scene. It doesn't dominate it. It's clear that what we are selling here is the environment, not model. What about this one? It's a cool piece, but what am I selling here? Am I selling the architecture, the ship behind her, or the girl up front? WTF knows? I didn't utilize my camera properly! The model should be off to the side, and my focal point should have been on that ship back there. And this one!   There is entirely too much going on here. Your eyes go all over the place when they SHOULD be focused on that model. I know.  We have lots of toys we want to play with But when it comes to promos, LESS IS MORE! Here
