where are the wild things?

opening ceremony has collaborated with where the wild things are director, spike jonze, and created these amazingly creative and fun pieces. is it bad that i want every single one of these pieces?

this is when i wish i had all the money in the world to spend on clothes.

more work...but some play

before my weekend really got started, i spent friday night painting my little butt off. 3 more paintings done...a lifetime more to work on...

crazy skull.

this is actually 2 paintings that i worked on together. i think i still have some work to do on them but i really love the direction they're going in.

that was an awesome way to start my weekend. especially since i went out for a bit on saturday and then i was sick all day on sunday! damn sore throat thing that was making me feel sick!!! i literally spent the day in bed drinking theraflu. i could use more sleep today but instead i'm at work for cpr training. blahhhhhhhhhhh.

happy monday, people!

how i wear color

i wear a TON of black. TON. so much that i am literally in the middle of putting together a post entitled "how i wear black." lol.

but, sometimes, i put the all black away and wear some color. and the way it comes out, i always like it way more than black! damn, i should wear color more often.

wore this on monday:

jacket - nordstrom, dress - target, leggings - h&m, belt - my mom's, shoes - delia's

sweater - gap

ring - little rooms!, gold charm bracelet - h&m, gold and green bracelet - street vendor, blue leather and orange leather bracelet - target

feather wrap ring - present from my boo, thumb ring - h&m

earrings - street vendor, locket - bought at a trunk sale

happy friday, party people!

oh, and i promise to work on how my blog looks. i really need "html for dummies."

i want!-- MK's hair

damn. look at mary kate. although she has been looking quite...strange...lately, i love love love her hair in this shoot.

if only my hair looked as amazing as this pic all the time.

what is a synonym for missing?

I've decided that a synonym for missDTM being missing is painting.

It's hard being me.


I love that clip.

Anyway, here's a sneak peak of what I've been doing. Sorry for the
shabby pics but I had to snap them w/ my phone.

Skulls, skulls and more skulls. All for my photoshoot w/ 5pointmagazine.

I've been working on the 12x12 for a raffle next week. Yes, I donate my art to
good causes!

After tonight I'll be able to get more sleep. 4-5 hrs is just not
cutting it anymore.

If I haven't commented on your blog--my bad!! I promise to catch up
asap...(Aka-this wkend).

who's over the top?? I'M over the top!

last night, i spent time doing a whole lotta nothing. after getting home from work later than i expected, i sat around with my boo and watched tv. i can't even remember the last time him and i did that.

anyway, i made him watch the behind the music of pink, where she said, "some say imitation is the highest form of flattery. i think it's annoying." i couldn't agree more!!!

i <3>

A-mazing weekend

i have some amazing friends. seriously.

after deciding at the last minute to throw my homie, rain, a par-tayyyy, we had a fabulous showing of people. 

i told my boo that if i rarely went out, i would be totally happy if i could have nights like saturday...

homieeee! and melly. i really love these two.

my chicas.

<3

this homie never goes out. so happy he hung out with us that night too.

 a strange group shot. haha.

i love love love love these two. love.

my boo and his buddy.

ok, so i have to admit, i was standing on a step when we took this pic...lol.

YAY! loveeee manny. soooo happy he came out to chill...

lol. again. i love these two.

that's all folks!

poker faceeeee

i'm sure the blogosphere is BOOMING with entries about lady gaga's many outfits from last night's VMAs. now, i HAVE NOT seen a whole entire show in SO LONG...seriously, i can't even remember any performances in the past couple of years. i think once britney lost her mind, the vmas lost their swagger. no more girl on girl kisses, or snakes on stage, or britney and JT stare downs. so sad. once she stopped going/performing, i stopped watching.

BUT--this year was a different story!

the standout of the evening (besides kanye's TACKY rant - poor taylor - i heard she was crying backstage...can't help but feel bad for her) was definitely ms. lady gaga who had a million wardrobe changes and was wearing some interesting costumes.

just last week, i was complaining to my fashion friends how designers no longer take risks. why is it that when you have the option of making art that people can wear, designers make the same crap all the time. and i don't mean that they should be as adventurous as what we have seen lady gaga in over the past few months, BUT--there is a lot to say about her fashion choices. although her style veers over the top and to the left, i have to give her credit for being that wild and making a statement. i saw an interview with her once that said she sees herself as a walking art piece. as someone who makes and loves art, i can respect her for that decision.

so here she is--in all her glory:

lace is VERY in right now.

yes, this is just a fancy ass neck brace. but it's totally fabulous with feathers.

you gotta give her crdit here--halloween is in 6 weeks so gore is definitely in.

she's rocking more lace and disks on her head.

this is a cute one-sie but the powder on her nose is OD.

and this one just scared me. but also reminded me of "where the wild things are." which then reminded me that i cannot wait to see that movie!!!
