I just wanted you guys to know....

[blustocking]

Oh yes.



So I had a piece in the Olive Gallery's Valentine's Day Show...and here it is:

How it was supposed to be set up
How it was set up
Mini watercolor detail
The shelf, detail
The photos, detail
Aaaaand of course, the vibrator, detail

The whole title was "V is for Vagina: Self Love 17-27".
The card read: "Dear Vagina, Happy Valentine's Day! Love, Me. p.s. Thanks for everything!"

edit: just to be clear, the cash didn't come from the piece, but the photo illustration for Lawrence.com. "V is for Vagina" is still on the market. ;)

HiiiiiYaaaa!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

WAhaaaaa!

[cinzazul.livejournal.com]

Chhoooooooooooooo!

[lagnolalia.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

You just love me for my crappy art projects that people only notice because they involve vibrators and boobs. ;)

[lagnolalia.livejournal.com]

Nope.

I loves you for YOU.

♥

Seeing as how we had a hard time meeting up even when I LIVED there (my fault), I thought I'd tell you I'll be in L.A. April 5-8th. Let's have dinner, or lunch or something!

[lagnolalia.livejournal.com]

Replied with my #. Erased it for obvious reasons, but you have it now.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I'll try not to breathe heavy when I call. :D

[ponsonbybritt.livejournal.com]

That has to be the best watercolor of a labia and clittoris I've seen in some time. And you have no idea how many I've seen this week. Whew!

Can't quite make out the photographs, but I really like the set-up. They take away your chains?

Please tell me you used a paint pen to detail the vibrator. I giggled quite a bit when I saw that. Excellent!

Congratulations on it all.

and you, thank YOU!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

After awhile though, don't they all start to look the same?

Yeah, I took the pic of the photos from a distance for that very reason. Someday, when I'm really hard up for attention, I'll turn to them and post them for all to see. Then cry, because I'll feel dirty and used, by myself.
And they DID take away my chains, which, in my opinion, completes the installation.
Is there no END to the trials an ARTEET mus go through?!

Paint pens are the pens of the gods. The gods like to make shiny, crafty objects.

I knew you'd get around to me.

[ponsonbybritt.livejournal.com]

The Sun looks the same every day. Doesn't mean I wanna stop seeing it. I probably should stop staring at it though.

Sucks about your chains. I agree it added a statement. And I figured there was intent with the distance of the photo. Isn't it funny sometimes how we (and I include myself in this) can bare ourselves, figuratively and literally, to loads of relative strangers but find embarrassment when it's people we have a connection/relationship with? I've dropped trow onstage on more than one occasion but am just not getting nakey enough with people on a personal basis.

Not that anyone's complaining. Except me, that is.

Ok, I'll shut up now.

You dirty bint!

[locopuff.livejournal.com]

You making dirty pitchers again?

Re: You dirty bitch lint!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

But Ma! All the kids at skoo really likes 'em and I kin sell 'em on eBay!

Re: You dirty bint!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

pee ass. (aww, that makes me miss boddah)
I checked Enterprise and it looks like we can rent a car from the 7th-11th for around $94? I'll pay for the 7th, since I just want it to be able to drive around. Anyway, doesn't sound too bad. But where do you think we should pick it up, near your apt?

[catwoman980.livejournal.com]

That picture is very "damn it feels good to be a gangsta."

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

That, is exactly what I was going for.
Thank you. :)

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I love your icon, by the way.
Ask and thy shall receive: Nails are this (http://www.sallyhansen.com/nails_prisms.cfm) in "Garnet Lapis". I recommend that one and there's an Amber one that's pretty too.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

What?! Canadians don't have fingernails! PSSSSH.

[secondderogate.livejournal.com]

wow. all this time and i never had a clear idea of what you look like. i must say, you're gorgeous. nice work on the piece. how does it feel to make money making art?

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Really?! You must have missed the "Jesus, will you stop posting pictures of yourself" phase. Thanks! And it feels weird, like I don't deserve it, yet I still think I do. It's a wonderful combination of ego and self-deprecation. A melange, if you will.

[secondderogate.livejournal.com]

Keep it up (hotstuff).

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Will do (weeniepants).

Oh DAMN you look HAWT. I have a thing for redheaded Libra woman. ;)

Re: Thank you!

Re: Thank you!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Nooooo, I would not shove my dirty crafts on you.
Heheh, that sounds even worse.

Re: Thank you!

[anastaza.livejournal.com]

By the way...

(this is random)

Did you go to KU?

Re: Thank you!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Mais oui!
I'm there right now (Spencer).

Re: Thank you!

[anastaza.livejournal.com]

Reeeeeeeally?
Hmmm.

Were you, by chance, there in '96?
You look like this girl I used to know when I lived in Hashinger.

- Christa

Re: Thank you!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

.....whoa. Yeah, that's when I was a Hashie. What floor?

[jnglboogi.livejournal.com]

what a sexy biznatch!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I know! I hate having a twin sometimes!

[ex-nixe725.livejournal.com]

WOOHOO! :)

Does the word "vagina" bother you, Mister Lebowski? Vagina.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Bwaha!
HEY, YOU! Am I gonna see you in April or not?!
*looks angry, taps foot and crosses arms*

[ex-nixe725.livejournal.com]

I shall be there!
I may be forgetting but are there room plans and things? I will coordinate efforts if I can help.

*wets pants*

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I already booked the York for us! :D
Just need to actually buy the plane ticket and rent a car for Jen and I to drive up. YAAAY!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Hey, I meant to ask you....have you seen this book (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0609607820/qid=1109896432/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/104-5694933-6748740?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)?
I saw it at work the other day and not only is it hilarious, but it reminded me of you.
*tear*

I remind you of regrettable technicolor limpnoodle food?! (sniff)

[ex-nixe725.livejournal.com]

Hey, wanna take some liberty with me, I'm a pea. *wink*

Re: b....but in a good way!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I want you to make me the pork n' beans dish with the weenies sticking up out of it...to remind me what a manly man I am.

[corporatebitch.livejournal.com]

i'm sad you moved out of Cali. Ms. photicdriver thinks we'd really get along. My saying this, of course, because you are WAY hawt.

ha! what an appropriate icon

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

It's science fact that hawt people are easy to get along with.

Re: ha! what an appropriate icon

[corporatebitch.livejournal.com]

I think I've read that in a textbook somewhere...

;)
