Go Clean Your Room!

What do they mean "de-personalize the house"?!?! I know exactly what they mean. They want me to make everything look NORMAL (I almost typed "moral" just then - how Freudian)!! It's awful! Don't they understand I'm a Rock Obsessed Cancer Pagan Artist with Goth & Vampiric tendencies?! I'm a deranged, brooding homebody, dammit! NORMAL=BAD, ok? Any home of mine will never look "normal"! This SUCKS!!!!

It's all part of letting go, I suppose. I'll tear it all down & rebuild it in Los Angeles. Now if I can just hurry up about it without having to reminisce over every single forgotten item I come across. Baby steps. I'll get there. Fucking soon I hope.

I found some way-cool shit tonight though in one of the storage spaces under the roof - a rolled up poster of Guns 'N Roses with Axl donning big hair & makeup - pre Sorum days, too, as Steven Adler is in the photo. They should have put a shirt on Adler instead of a vest. His chest hair is like a friggin' brown 70's shag rug. Eeww. LOL.

Also found this wicked photo I took in the ladies room (I guess - it's pink?) of a club called Jammin' in NYC in April of 1989. I wasn't even old enough to be in the place! Anyhow, the cute boys are: with middle finger extended - Danny Wheelz (because he worked at the shoe store "Wheelz" on 8th Street between 5th & 6th), Tony Slash (for obvious reasons), and Danny .... I can't do it. I can't type Danny Discipline. LOL!! There, I typed it. If you know Danny, you know he has none, but I guess they figured it would look good on the Throbs record. I think he's currently still in Faster Pussycat. Danny (Discipline - ROFL!), I know is not a computer person, but if anyone reads this & is nice enough to pass along a message for me, please tell him I will see him very soon in L.A. & if anyone knows the whereabouts of Danny Wheelz or Tony Slash, tell them to send me an email & say hello!

Please visit Billy Morrison's blog to join in the lively discussion of him being drained of bodily fluids, and listen to some Doheny while you're there. They're rather good. Go to http://dohenymusic.typepad.com/ then go to the Crop Circles post. The URL is too long for me to put here - it screws up the whole layout of my blog. Anyhow, here's hoping I'm not overestimating Billy's sense of humor. Take your lumps, Morrison, it means you're liked! Duffy is liked & he got fused with Mini-Me in photoshop. At least there's no Mini-Morrison. Oh wait....ROFLMAO!!!!!! Oh, I must end this post now as I've wandered into very dangerous territory and simply must not continue for fear that my New Year's Eve plans may go asunder. Oh fuck it. Are you lurking, Astbury? You take your lumps too, dammit! It means you're liked!
All I want for Christmas is a Cult show.

Get Your Motor Runnin'

Okay, so I'm jumping the gun a bit, but I'm excited, dammit! Plans to drive across the country are in the
development stage, and doesn't my car look completely ready for a road trip today with the sunset reflecting off the side of her?! I cannot WAIT!!!

Michele convinced me to forego the weekly "Creative Open House" thing we've been doing every Sunday, and go out to eat with her & Patrick instead. It was just what I needed - to get out of my sweatpants & put on some jeans, take the hair tie out & put some makeup on & get out & mingle with people and have a really good meal. Old Man Rafferty's has great food & a dessert case that's to die for.

We talked & laughed and par for the course when Michele & I get together, we began devising a plan. It always starts innocently enough & then escalates into something straight out of Natural Born Killers or Thelma & Louise. We think (and I do need to run this past my brother & make sure he's cool with it - although he should be since he said he did not want to drive across country in the winter) Michele & Patrick & I are going to drive to California together. LOOK OUT, Bible Belt, prepare to be terrorized! If you see these three (specifically the two girls, the guy really has no clue what he's in for), RUN!!!



Evil? Who, us?
Mwehehehe.
I cannot wait for this trip. It will be
documented. Hmm, wonder if I can get my hands on a laptop. Oh well, plenty of time to figure that one out I suppose. Realtor should be calling tomorrow about coming out to see the house. I've posted a few pages on my website with items I'm selling, so go take a look & buy something! lol.





It's all about the pictures today. Have to post this one because Patrick says it will get me lots of dates. Michele says I look like I have a deformity. Cranky bitch. She says I'm going to move to L.A. & get my lips injected & become "plasticized like Pamela Anderson". Meanwhile, she is determined to move to the middle of nowhere in West Virginia, despite my warnings that she will never fit in unless she loses some teeth.

Whole Lotta Nothin'

I wasted a lot of time today. Feels that way, anyhow. Got a few things done around the house, but nothing major. Trying to find a New Year's Eve outfit is turning out to be a major ordeal for some reason. Listened to Camp Freddy Radio while I searched online. Those guys are funny as shit - until Mr. Morrison tells the story about the "photographer". Look buddy, the real photographers out there have it hard enough as it is, ok? Bleh. Hopefully he won't ever use that story again anyway. Eww. Whatever. I would be in a better mood had I found the perfect dress tonight.

Change of subject. A dear friend is celebrating her birthday today & she is a big Cult fan, so I know she will like the photo I posted today. I took this shot of Billy Duffy March 17, 2001 at Stubb's in Austin, TX.

Nostalgic

Quiet day today. Catching up on sleep - again! - & getting things done around the house. Sorting through old papers & scanning old family photos. Came across this one of my mom. I'm completely awestruck by how beautiful she was when she was young. If she didn't choose nursing as a profession, she should have been a movie star. She'll laugh if someone reads this to her. Just in case, I miss you mom! I'll be out there soon.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Mine was great. Sleep won out last night & I had the cell phone shut off & lights out by 10:30pm. I never get to bed that early! Felt very decadent. Needless to say, I was well-rested today & ready for a big meal & visit with my aunt & uncle & cousins. Traffic was not completely horrible either. Ate way too much - chocolate, whipped cream, strawberry & hershey kisses-covered cheesecake did me in. My stomach is killing me!

Photo is me arriving home Tuesday night from the Manson show. Guess I can't wear the silver pants to a Velvet Revolver show, huh. Damn you, Scott Weiland, I had them first!

www.ladyalchemy.com

Next Motherfucker's Gonna Get My Metal

The Marilyn Manson show was a blast. Got really close to the stage which surprised me given the enormous line that snaked through the parking lot when we arrived. Starland is a small venue so I'm not sure where they all went once they got in - underground dungeon, maybe? Was glad to hear Lunchbox & a bunch of other songs I haven't heard - shit, was just glad to hear & see Manson again. It was fun. Opening band, Slunt, from NYC were good & reminiscent of the Cycle Sluts from Hell. The crowd took a little while to react, but by the end of their set the kids seemed to have warmed to them a bit.

Despite the small venue, Manson's stage show was still very theatrical & suitably spooky. Spookier to me, though, was the Alexander McQueen ladies blouse he had on (I've considered buying the same one - how embarrassing!) & the fact that it covered a paunch! What's happening to these rock stars, even Manson's getting fat! Mind you, I did indeed eat a Swiss & Mushroom Cheeseburger & Seasoned Fries at Denny's at 1am (see incriminating photo above), cancelled my Jenny Craig appointment today, and intend on taking full advantage of the Thanksgiving spread at Aunt Kathy's house tomorrow, thankyouverymuch.

At Denny's I found myself wondering if Manson ever steps off the tour bus in full makeup & walks into places like, oh, I don't know, McDonald's at a Wisconsin rest stop, just for the hell of it. Better yet, a public library in Kansas. I dunno. At 1am in the Denny's it was funny to me, because I was picturing him walking in at that moment & imagining filming or photographing peoples' reactions.

Anyhow, we had a great time and Jenna's dad tells me that despite getting home at 2:30am on a school night, she was actually bright-eyed & cheerful this morning - and out the door early for school. Ah, the power of a concert high.

On the agenda for tonight - SLEEP. My eyelids are heavy now. If the second wind doesn't hit me soon, it's going to be an early one. If it does hit - which it probably will - I'm scanning photos. Tedious, tedious work but well worth it to have everything archived & organized.

Welcome to My Nightmare

As promised, here it is. The garage wall from hell. Called the realtor today & he gave me a quick courtesy call back & will follow up tomorrow. Do I see light at the end of the tunnel? Will beat the crap out of the daylight I'm seeing from the inside of the garage lately.

My brother got stuck for 2 hours on a California freeway last night - closure due to a snow storm - while I sat at home in NJ in fairly warm temperatures. Huh. Nice switch from the norm at this time of year, which would be me pitching a snow shovel into a 5-foot drift in sheer frustration, silently cursing my brothers for having the gaul to live in warm climates. Must remember to drop lots of Donner Party references when he & I make our trek out West together in the U-Haul with all my worldly possessions in tow. This trip is going to be hilarious & must be documented.

Taking my friend John's daughter Jenna to see Marilyn Manson tomorrow night. Dug through the piles of black t-shirts in the dresser & found 2 Manson shirts - one has Manson's face with a light over it that looks like a halo & the other says 'everlasting cocksucker' in pink glitter. Haven't made the choice yet. If the glitter tee wins, I just hope nothing transpires that will require me to have to meet Jenna's mom.

Didn't do a single creative thing today, aside from thinking up all kinds of new uses for my left arm, as I seem to have broken the right one yesterday via overly vigorous house-painting. You know it's bad when you've just cleaned the 20 pounds of loose change out of your purse & it still hurts to lift it. So glad I don't drive a stick. I hope I don't need my arm tomorrow at the Manson show. Maybe he'll have a prosthetic one I can borrow until mine heals.

www.ladyalchemy.com

Sell, Sell, Sell!

Trying to psych myself up to call the realtor tomorrow. I'm scared to death. Not of the realtor, but that once I call & put the house on the market there's no turning back. No matter how many times I've moved away (there have been several), I've always had my home to run back to. Shutting the door on that part of my life is not easy. You can dismiss astrology all you want, but Cancers are connected - emotionally bound - to their homes like you wouldn't believe. I should apologize now to the poor family who will take up residence on this property 50 years from now..."sorry folks, didn't mean to haunt you. Can't help it. I'm moody, but really harmless underneath it all."

I was going to put up a photo of the lovely garage wall that's causing me so much stress - but I couldn't find one. I did stumble across this photo that I took last March, which I'm convinced is the ghost of my youth sneaking in the back door of the old Limelight in NYC, sans ID but with gold VIP card. Yes, it could be steam rising from a manhole, but I didn't see it when I took the photo & normally when I take a shot I'm aware of every element appearing within the frame. Keeps up the haunting theme anyway.

Talked to my brother tonight - the one worth talking to. Hmm, should I delete that snarky comment? Nah, oldest brother lives in a ghost town - LITERALLY! He will never, ever get a computer. He's working his way up to mountain man status, and I believe he'll get there someday, dammit!

Anyhow, cool brother calls me at sort of a bad time - for him, it turns out. See, I was fine until he called & made me realize I was painting the house all by myself. Kind of like the kid who falls but won't cry until you look, I suppose. Anyhow, I asked him where my brothers were & why they weren't here helping me with all of this crap. "They're assholes" he tells me. That's why he's the brother worth talking to. I love him.

Waving the White Flag

To me, there's something very soothing about this photo. Soothing is good. I'm waving the white flag & calling a realtor Monday. I've had enough. I tried, but I cannot save this house just like I cannot save my mother. She of all people understands how hard this is for me, to give up the home my father & grandfathers built, that time & the elements are now tearing down. I cried to her tonight on the phone. She was lucid & comforting & I'm grateful for that. She doesn't have many lucid days anymore.

Promise the blog won't be all depression & sorrow. It's just this is a very difficult time for me & I'm not going to pretend the sun is shining brightly in my world right now. There are opportunities though. I know that. Just have to keep thinking of warm weather & sunny skies. Sweet home California soon enough...

www.ladyalchemy.com

Ow

No blogging tonight. My head hurts.

www.ladyalchemy.com

Tangled Web

One of my favorite shots from last month. Playing with the camera while waiting for Penny to arrive for a shoot...

Website is back up, yay! www.ladyalchemy.com My FrontPage software is very buggy for some reason though & won't let me navigate in preview mode. Strange. Works fine in the browser though. I know I should be using Dreamweaver anyhow, but haven't had time to learn it yet.

I've got some prints up for sale at the site. They're not archival quality & are only 8" x 10"s, but they're the best I can do for now. Will continue to work on the site & make improvements & hopefully offer some archival stuff soon.

Aside from the creative stuff, I've got a gaping hole in my garage wall that is causing me massive amounts of stress. Anyone know a contractor who will do something other than poke at the water-damaged wood (thus making the hole bigger) and then tell me he's booked until March? WTF?! I need a new fucking wall!!! And a vacation. And a massage.

Making a Statement

Here's another shot of that gorgeous abandoned building. Determined to get to bed before midnight tonight, so this will be a quick one. The blog has already become an obligation - at least to the point where I feel guilty enough that just now I shut down the computer & turned out the light without posting, and came right back & started it up again to leave this post.

I've decided I need to look into gallery exhibitions. Last exhibits I took part in were in school where all the legwork was done for me. Haven't a clue as to how to go about getting back into it. Asked an artist friend for advice & first thing she asked me was if I have an Artist's Statement. I don't. So that must be why I've been blogging. I need to write one & this is my warmup. Funny how things tend to move in succession & build on each other when you let them.

Among the Ruins

Went out a week or so ago to photograph the fall foliage, but I'm much happier with the shots of this incredible abandoned building I found. Must go back & shoot this some more. Will make some of these prints available through my website when I get it back up & running. Worked on that most of the evening. Had it for a minute & then got the stupid Error 403 once again. Tech guy gave up on me & went home. Frustrating but what can you do. We'll try again tomorrow night.

I know you can't see much of the building, but isn't it gorgeous? Filled with wasps, too. They were flying past my head as I took these shots. Will have to remember to go there during a snow storm & see what it looks like then.

Brushstrokes

Photo shoot with Penny fell through today. Spoke this morning and we both had other things we needed to take care of early in the day. When it got dark outside & neither one of us had called the other back, it was obvious it wasn't happening today. That's ok. We can reschedule and in the meantime there are plenty of other things to do.

Seems I'm getting a lot of hits here, which is really cool. No one is really commenting much, though, which is ok because I'm not approaching this as a popularity contest. On the other hand, I do love to hear from creative people & I'm in the mood to collaborate, so if you're out there with something to say & you're just being shy, then please speak up! I won't bite, I promise. :)

The painting above is one I'm working on as a gift for my dear cousin Karen. She has already seen it - I mistakenly left it sitting out one day when she was coming over & didn't realize until she started saying how beautiful it was - OH SHIT! I meant to put that away! LOL. She wanted to take it home right then, but it's absolutely nowhere near to being finished. Will give it some attention tonight.

Alright! Tech support came through & now I've got the blog linked to my website. URL is http://www.ladyalchemy.com/ if you want to bookmark. Site is just a homepage for now as I've been spending my time sorting through & scanning literally THOUSANDS of photos. Will get some of those up ASAP.

NOOOOOO!!! Error 403. No website to bookmark at the moment. I'm off to bed. I've done enough damage for one night. :(

The Girl with the Curls

Photo shoot with my friend Penny went pretty well today. We got off to a late start (as usual). We're both to blame (as usual). We always arrange to call each other around 10am & then somehow don't get on the road for the shoot until 3pm. How that happens is beyond me. Actually, there is a reasonable explanation. It's called massive prep time. You've got to plan the goal of your shoot, choose your location, mapquest it, check the weather, dress appropriately, do hair & makeup, gather all your props together & grab all the cameras & gear. We need extra prep time because it's just the two of us - no makeup artist, hair stylist, wardrobe stylist, or photo assistant. Today I had trouble getting out the door as I took time to curl my hair for the first time since I was probably, like, 15 or so. Then I couldn't figure out what to wear. We've already done the black velvet goth thing a few times & it's not like we have free access to new clothes or anything. There's an idea for someone - start a photo shoot wardrobe swap program. All my new cute clothes are summery & now I'm fucking stuck here for another winter. Bleh.
**do I call in to Camp Freddy Radio right now? They're looking for sex stories. Sorry, momentary distraction**

Aside from the 43 degree weather, the photo shoot was fun. We went to location with an open stone building with circular cut-outs on two sides. I sat in the circle & looked around & tried not to make the "something smells bad" face I seem to make all the time when Penny's trying to photograph me. Thing is, I don't know that I'm doing it until she tells me, and since I don't know I'm doing it, I'm not sure how to fix it. I probably need plastic surgery or something. I also occupied myself by trying to hide the band aid on my hand. One of my New Year's Resolutions is going to be to stop doing things that make my hands bleed. This time it's from cleaning out the gutters. Someday I will let myself be a girl.

Penny made me climb a tree today. She predicted I would write that, so I had to. It was actually fun & I'm happy that I didn't fall. We ran out of daylight so we're going back tomorrow morning - 10am, right?! - to take some more photos of me in the tree.

Took these self portraits as soon as I got home from the shoot with Penny. These are just me fucking around. I had to get some shots of the curls. They're such a novelty for me. I think I like them. Love the shot all the way to the right (as you look at the monitor), second row down. Not flattering at all, but so psycho looking I had to keep it! LOL.

MEOW

Here he is, the King of the Castle. Look at that face. Don't you just wanna squish him? Loki had a rough day today. He threw up this afternoon. Tonight he was scared by the phone ringing & jumped off my lap & ran down the hall. It's good to be the King, aside from that pesky overactive nervous system.

Renewed my membership to EP tonight & sorted out a bunch of emails. Waiting to hear back from tech support so I can link the blog to the website & make some more updates over there. Photo shoot tomorrow. I'm the model this time. It's supposed to be 43 degrees tomorrow & we're shooting outdoors. I'm on the wrong damn coast.

Hey! EP is an organization of editorial photographers dealing with contracts, pricing, and other business issues.
I'm posing for a photographer friend of mine. She's great (hi Penny)! We've been working together quite a bit lately. Might post a photo or two here at some point.
I like this blogging so far. It's a lot of fun!

Veteran's Day

I just learned the difference between Veteran's Day & Memorial Day. Never thought about it really. Memorial Day is for those who have died in combat & Veteran's Day is for those who have served during peaceful times or war.

I want to post a photo. My Dad's WWII photos aren't scanned yet. My brother was in the Navy a long time ago, but I don't think he would appreciate being posted to the internet in his uniform. Hmm. Should I call him & ask? He'll think I'm insane (yeah, like that will be the straw that breaks the camel's back). Should I do it anyway? Nah.

Ok, I looked through my photos & came up with a pretty cool one that's appropriate for the day. I took it in '95 and it's from a cemetery somewhere in Northern New Jersey (possibly Frankfort Plains in Sussex County) & the grave is that of a 21 year old Union soldier during the Civil War, who was killed in Virginia 8 days after Lincoln declared the Emancipation Proclamation (There's no history book in my head. I had to look that up). I'm distantly related to him & his stone reads: "Thomas B. son of Wm. P. & Abigail Struble. A member of Co. D 25th NJ Vols. Died Jan. 9th 1863 on the banks of the Rappahannock. Aged 21 years, 5 mons. and 16 days." Wow, that's young. Cool how they wrote the years, months & days on the stones back then. I like that. I like the winged skulls on the old tombstones in Salem, too. Jeez, I'm designing my tombstone now. I think it's time for me to sign off. Here's Thomas B.:

Rock Collection

Pulled in the driveway & found an envelope leaning against the door. My photo has arrived from London! I'm so excited over this. It's my first fine art print purchase & it's an image of Debbie Harry taken by Mick Rock during the "Picture This" cover shoot. It's 11" x 14", signed by Mick, and Debbie looks gorgeous & happy with a huge grin on her face. If that's not enough, turns out the guy I bought it from works in the archive library of Abbey Road Studios! Holy crap, do they have a "bring a virtual stranger visiting from America to work day", because I would love to get in there & poke around the archives a bit!
I've got a couple great shots of Debbie Harry taken in the late 80's in NYC. Hard to take a bad one of her though - she's so beautiful. Don't have time right now, but will have to find those & scan them & post one or two here soon.



MICHAEL! Michael Aston was kind enough to hotlink my blog to the update portion of his website - www.genelovesjezebel.com - I really do appreciate the mention. Are you lurking, Michael? I love this photo. Reserved? HA! - people, don't believe everything you read!!

Hey Fernanda! Thanks for posting. Congratulations again for the photo contest!

Posted by: Astar AGAIN!!!!DAMN HER! November 12, 2004 at 07:50 PM

That's got to be hard when the crowd is really small or disinterested & you have tech problems & all. I think I would want to disappear at that point, but if you were able to play it off that's probably half the battle right there. Now you'll take that confidence of knowing you won't fall apart under adverse conditions & work with it to be able to win the crowd over, right? It takes time I would imagine.
So you're singing at the Viper Room Monday night?! That's AWESOME! You know I would go if I wasn't on the wrong coast. I listen to Indie 103.1 all the time. I hope you get your rush again!

NYE with The Doors. Again.

Got my ticket today to see The Doors New Year's Eve at the HOB in Anaheim. They were amazing last year at the Kodak Theater, yet the HOB is much more intimate, so I'm really looking forward to this one. Best thing about NYE gigs is not only do you get a show, but you ~have~ to go out shopping beforehand for a new outfit & all kinds of pretty, shiny things. YAY!! Here's one of my favorite photos I took of Ian fronting The Doors. This is from Fontana, California, in September of 2002.

Now Playing: Sanctuary's Over - Butch Vig Mix Mash-Up

Yikes, I'm Blogging!

Deathly afraid of the whole blogging thing, but here goes. Hope the water is warm, because I'm diving in...
Happened to look out the window at just the right time this afternoon & was rewarded with the opportunity to capture some shots of a gorgeous sunset. Not bad for the East Coast!
