Lower-than-lo-fi glow-in-the-dark middle-school-magic (at least until I can find someone to help me make this sound as lush and lavish as it does in my head...)
thank for the request! every week i read your blog in phantasmaphile. com and you made meet me a fantastic surrealist artist! nice to meet you and big hug from italy!
I must to say i'm happy to be a friend of personn who create music as you do ... A part of i adore to listen ... So, thank you very much ... And, for my part I take the liberty to present 2 new songs of surrealistic inspiration (for the words) The first one is a sort of "enthusiastic" emotion ... rare and strange for me ... Have a delicious weekend ... LAHERSE
It was lovely to see you the other day, I'm so glad you came and got to see all my confections in the same room together. I will get to your wonderful and thought provoking questions at the end of this week, can't wait. Have to do the taxes first. x L.
Oh mi, the second surreal salon des femmes tea just went by too quickly. I wish we could have moved on for cocktails like we did at the last one. It was wonderful to see you. Loved the funny face lipstick on you, you looked divine and were charming as always. Hope you had fun at Dances of Vice. Please give me a holler about the interview. I went by the gallery and saw the space. I am so happy my feet aren't touching the ground. Talk to you soon. x L.
Can't wait to see you on Saturday either. I won't be able to stick around afterwards for any of the festivities but enjoy. I was at Alix's space for the opening, and even got to see the gallery before the show was hung. Wunderbar! x L.
nat has a show tonight that i think you would dig, it's late though... and in williamsburg... on second thought you should probably go to bed. but if you feel like being naughty and staying out on a school night... holla at me yo
Hi Pam, Just stopping by to say hello. Here's a two headed pussycat for you. x L. Hope you are well, seems like you've done some traveling this summer. Sounds like fun. I'll do some in October, cant wait. x L.
Hey there, I see you are on, I'm updating my links page on my website. Would you like to have me link to your blog, and vice versa to my site. Let me know. Hope you are staying cool, calm, and collected in this ridiculous heat. I'm going to a great art show in Newark tonight at Redsaw Gallery, called Lilliput, all the pieces are one inch square and have to be viewed with a magnifying glass. So boss. I was supposed to submit work for it but I forgot and missed the deadline, rats. You should know the gallery owner/curator Asha Ganpat (or Ganput). She is a kick ass conceptual sculptor, is funny as hell, and I think their little gallery allows outside independent curators.
I should probably be emailing you this stuff but I just saw your little 'I'm on' light and decided to try and catch you in. x L.

Aieee! HowDAREyou! Half of the slatterns who hang a shingle on this site put up wank photos of their gonzongas, or their tummies, or their backside. I show a little peak-a-boo shoulder, and you start talking about boundaries. Maybe my beauty feels imprisoned by boundaries, and I want it to roam free like the gazelles of untamed Africa. I am the bird. Don't cage me.
