Results of last night’s mood music…
GOURMAND (unfinished, I think)
I had this thing for Chocolate
Rich, dark, thick & bittersweet
But it was the best thing ever in the moment
I craved it
Dreamt it
Loved it
The way it stayed on my tongue
Teasing, tempting me to overindulge
And I did, every single time
I invested in everything it offered
Had stock in its outcomes
But in the end, the taste faded
It dimmed my senses and left me wanting…
Then I acquired a hunger for Honey Bunches…with Almonds
Its different flakes lent personality
The crunch clusters added depth
Explosive on its own
But in the midst of smooth, slightly sweet almond milk
Detonation was almost instantaneous
Another layer of pleasure when all the different textures blended
Another experience outside of the past
I sought it
Relished in it
Yearned for it
Until it stayed too long in the milk and that pop fizzled
It became limp, weighted, tasteless
There but uninspiring; dismissed
I tried out Mocha and enjoyed it
But too soon that became bland
Over sampled by others hence undervalued by me
I let my taste buds take a break
Become more discerning
Then they sizzled and my mouth watered at just a vision
Saccharine, fluid Caramel
Appearing innocent until I got it into my mouth
Over flowing my senses with its dense cloying texture
Melting yet maintaining its viscous nature
I covet it
Sink into it
Ache for it… -
This is some footage that didn’t quite make the final cut of “Color Outside the Lines, primarily because there wasn’t enough space to incorporate the entire segment in my opinion. Originally I wanted to include an entire section focused on femininity within a male dominated culture. It would talk about how women with a lot of tattoos are often perceived by others, their relationship preferences, how hard it is to maintain those relationships as well as being the best at what they do in something traditionally masculine. A couple of the artists were single mothers as well, so we talked about how they balance that part of life as well. Unfortunately there were somethings we needed that we couldn’t get and we couldn’t figure out how to make this segment flow seamlessly with the rest of the film. It didn’t make sense to just put it in, if it didn’t flow. Women are still represented in the film and now here is some additional footage for your viewing pleasure.
This interview was done in 2010 with body piercers Brittany Slam and B. Girard. They both also from time to time take awesome photos for magazines, that showcase the possibility of a women wearing a body full of tattoos and having people recognize the beauty in it. Here you will see us discuss questions like: How does the outside world perceive you? What type of men do you attract? What will you do when you are old and have all those tattoos? What tattoo means the most to you?
It’s a very candid discussion that is sure to open eyes of males and females about not only these women but all women with tattoos.

Crossed Signals… (unfinished)
I take chances with myself often
Maybe too often
Even though everyone around me is guarded and jaded
I’m still open to possibilities and opportunities
Holding back is a battle with my inherent nature
Though I was molded to be emotionless I am everything but
I am all that you never knew that I was
But you’d never know because you make assumptions
Beliefs that pain me and sit in my core
That I carry around in efforts to contradict
Yet end up only further proving your theories… -
