Double Fisting




I am a mag whore. I love art, fashion, food, hair, craft and lifestyle magazines. Sometimes, I find myself returning to the same shop with in a week and already spending 50 bux.Yikes.
But my heart truly belongs to 2 magazines. They will come in on the first Thursday of every month. On hold , in a cubby with my name on it. But sometimes they will receive calls from me with my voice slightly disguised to see if they have arrived sooner..
Oh joy! They are here and I run like lightening to purchase them. I arrive in a heaping sweat, feeling like they are the last two pieces of bread on earth and if I dont get em quick, consider them gone and I will be left starving.
She plops them down on the counter and I smile . Does she think I am buying these little lit books for two diffrent people ? When did Neptune and Earth meet?
In one hand, I hold Mary Janes Farm, and in the other Zink.
They couldnt be more different , yet be more the same to make me feel like I am floating over a rainbow.
These two little beauties make me so happy. Why ? Simple
Zink delivers my love of dark, geometric, dramatic fashion, pushing boundries and challenges the ordinary .Yet I dream of owning a tractor, goats, canning, DIY, crochet bloomers, organic gardens and the simply beauty of nature.
I was born into a city and raised in the foothills. These two cultures that I have lived have swirled themselves into a delicate and complicated life of me. I love to wear metals, leather and black , but in my house you will find the likings of mountain man with worn down distressed furniture, bones, dolls, produce boxes and curiosities . ( I am in search of old rifles to mount on our walls )Press on to the online diary . I vision my favorite recipes, latest pair of shoes, the new resturant in town, tea time with the birds, organics , beer , vintage , thrifting excursions , animals and friends to be here for you , and me, the birds and the bees , the flowers and the trees.
