to so many thangs
not just pussy and crack
and hoe-like bitches
trannys, meatloaf,
crisp effervescent beer
sidewalks and pissy alleyways
in Belltown
and naked jazz
jazz so real
only a baby can play these lines
this feeling
the fluidity of thought
can only come
from a simplicity of mind
of time
like niggers on a long march
across an ocean of mediocrity
and complacency
this thang I do
this voice
I can preach to God
or you
but the difference is in
the love
Bitch I love you
more than I love myself
so recognize

sex negroes freaky
at my house
booty in my eye
hello Juicers…….!
fun time
here in Ubiquity
my brothers
show love before
confinement control constraints
conditions con con con doc
people
living like animals
fucking in the ass
and being cool
just 2 years
and he blew his brains out
rather than be BoBo Biatch
all Sunday night
watchin cops in prison
on Tv block neonigga

and reminded me I was just a nigga in a mercedes
now if I’m smart
& broke
why do so many stupid people
have so much money
but I’ve got to praise God
I got my food stamps
the day b4 yesterday
Epiphany

should I sell a kidney?

or do a home invasion

up here on CApitOl hilL

all this $$$$

around me

and I’m broke

but I got my food stamps

I got Jesus

and HoPE

rodger pegues

I’m wiring music

reading online documentation

or tenderly licking the rim

of Misty’s ass hole

touching this inner voice

I can only hear

in loneliness

enter into this love

unabashed

unconditionally

so that the belief in the things that I’ve chosen

to have meaning and purpose

in my life

as she sleeps

and I masturbate

to an image

on a screen

as she sleeps

and I want her to awaken

and in this prism of shame

and conviction I call

my passion

7 November 2009

Another absolutely beautiful day at the Texas Renaissance Festival. The temperature got a little higher than we’d have preferred, but I don’t think it got higher than about 80 degrees. And, true to form, the patrons were here in droves. I believe the count was over 31,000 people!

Sales, however, also true to form, were fairly average. When the park gets that full, the patrons stay in the lanes and the pubs. The stage acts do well . . . the beer and food booths kick butt. But, the crafters, particularly with higher dollar products . . . not so much. So, no butt-kicking here, just a solid day. However, there was butt-sketching!

Jonathan—the god of butt-sketching—has begun a trio of sketches (one for each of us, of course!) of we three girls that have us all feeling like goddesses!

I wrote last week about how much we enjoyed Jonathan’s work. And how much fun this is to have done. We now own three, and we’ve sent numerous people over there to enjoy the fun.  Kyle has posted a great photo taken during the sketching of Iris and Rose. And, now, I am actually posting my photo of today’s masterpiece. We are calling this series of three: Triumver-butts. The concept was born last weekend when everyone started seeing how fabulous these are, and Ginger coined the phrase “triumver-butts.” We hadn’t made a specific plan for when, so it was a totally wonderful, serendipitous fluke that Kelly and Ginger both showed up at my booth, at the slow end of the day, just before dark. So, off we went to ask Jonathan to work his magic! Ginger won the toss on who got today’s piece. The second of the three should happen tomorrow!

The triumverate is happy.

what can I write?

Happy Birthday, Kyle, My Love

Usually, when one talks about having a birthday and flowers in the same sentence, there are plants involved: daisies or lilies, or even roses. But, with Kyle*, it’s just one Rose . . . and one Iris. And, they aren’t plants.

While Kyle celebrated his natal day, I had a very busy faire day.  The special part of my weekend is that Nicole is here from California!  And not only Nicole, but Shawn and Jerry (our leather-guy/tooling artist) as well!  Nicole, of Pendragon Costumes fame, has more recently created a sister company to Pendragon, known as MadGirl Clothing.  Inside of a year or so, it has become THE source for the serious steampunkers to get the best garb for their flavour of fantasy.  She can be found at most major sci/fi/fantasy/steampunk conventions, and this weekend only, at the Texas Renaissance Festival! 

So, it was the getting ready for her visit and making the guest artisan booth workable for a clothier that took control of my day yesterday.  And, it was all worth it!  Her booth looked great, and was full of fabulous product!  I just know that when Kyle has a chance to go look, it’s gonna cost me!

He didn’t get there today, though.   I didn’t see as much of my husband on his birthday as I would have preferred.  He spent his day doing what he loves most . . . looking good, drinking beer, and playing with friends.  Happy Birthday, my love!

*I’m not sure why it looks as though he’s flipping me off as I take this photo!  Hmmmm . . .?

Le Comité Colbert vient de lancer son premier portail en partenariat avec Sina.com (le plus grand portail chinois qui compte 600 millions de visites par jour) destiné principalement aux jeunes Chinois et qui se veut un “voyage virtuel interactif pour découvrir le luxe et la culture français”.

“Il s’agit du premier site internet de ce type. La 3D jusqu’à présent n’existe que pour les jeux vidéos, les films, mais il n’y avait aucun site en 3D”, assure Elisabeth Ponsolle des Portes, déléguée générale du Comité Colbert.

On y trouve des objets, du savoir-faire…

Chaque maison a choisi ce qu’elle voulait mettre en avant. Et le résultat est absolument formidable parce que l’on passe d’un atelier de couture aux cuisines d’un palace, des caves d’une maison de champagne à l’élégance d’un magasin. On n’entre pas dans ce voyage par le nom des marques mais par des mots autour du luxe. Nous avons d’ailleurs travaillé avec des linguistes de l’université de Pékin pour offrir la traduction en idéogrammes la plus riche de sens. Nous avons imaginé la démarche la plus “acommerciale” possible, cette oeuvre est avant tout une occasion de nourrir un imaginaire.

Pourquoi une exposition virtuelle et non réelle?

Exposer physiquement les 70 maisons est toujours difficile. Et nous ne voulions pas nous limiter à Shanghai ou Pékin au moment où les villes des différentes provinces se développent à une vitesse incroyable.

Quel moteur de recherche utilisez-vous?

Sina.com, l’équivalent de Google pour la Chine. C’est un système qui offre une couverture fabuleuse, et l’exposition sera visible sur tout le territoire ou presque dès le 29 octobre, date à laquelle elle est inaugurée, simultanément à Pékin et à l’ambassade de Chine, à Paris.

Tout est écrit en chinois?

Oui, mais accessible aux gens du monde entier!

Pourquoi la Chine?

Parce que c’est le pays qui a aujourd’hui la plus forte croissance économique (autour de 10%). De plus, le désir de consommation y est très important et la Chine voit d’un bon oeil le luxe français parce qu’il est porteur d’une consommation de qualité. Nous sommes donc dans un parfait tempo! Aujourd’hui, toutes les maisons du comité, grandes ou petites, comprennent que le marché chinois leur est essentiel et que cela vaut la peine d’imaginer des actions collectives. C’est typiquement un marché où la démarche commune de 70 marques correspondant à des secteurs différents (mode, parfum, hôtellerie, arts de la table…) peut faire comprendre la richesse, l’histoire, l’émotion qu’il y a derrière cet univers. Les maisons ont d’ailleurs parfaitement saisi l’importance de cette démarche en Chine. C’est la première fois dans l’histoire de Colbert que toutes participent.

Imaginez-vous cette exposition itinérante en route, ensuite, vers l’Inde ou la Russie?…

Pourquoi pas! Parler collectivement du luxe à des cultures émergentes est selon moi une démarche très efficace, qui donne une image moderne et compétitive de notre univers. Et la Russie, l’Inde, les pays du Golfe sont aussi des régions très prometteuses.
