Girl crush..cruush...cruuushh..{obsession}



The almighty Kate Lanphear. The style director for US Elle magazine, and my everyday muse.
Her androgynous , punk, glam , rawk looks give me great pleasure knowing that I am not the only one that gets hot on monochromatic attire. True, I do have the 'kate lanphear' haircut. Well, I did until I fried it off because I wanted to go from black to platinum in 2 days so I could be a snow baby like her.. I am her fashion groupie. And I am hot for her..

love.hugs.flowers.vintage & ladybugs.

Waking up still high and buzzing from the Neil Young concert, there was no time to be lazy and dream..A date was in motion with a very special friend of mine, Bella Q of The Citizen Rosebud.
We met up at one of our favorite vintage shops in Sacramento , Crimson & Clover (formally Atelier). Of course, I got steals of deals that day! 2 shirts , 2 belts, a hat and all under 40 bux!
I love this shop. It is so romantic and charming . The prices are insane! As Q would say "Its like they're paying us to shop here "
Spending a day shopping with Q is one of my favorite things to do. And this day seemed extra special to me.

"Bullets hit the bison from the train~Shots rang across the peaceful valley~White man laid his foot upon the plain



Joe "My band mate turned down a free ticket to see Neil Young , Monday night at the Fox theater"
Me "W.T.F.?"
Quickly, I jumped to find where Neil Young will be next and also questioning why the hell I didn't hear he was in town. That didnt matter, what did matter is how I can see him.
He makes me feel so free. My soul always takes a vacation of reality when his music is around. Neil Young has helped me become who I am today. My love of nature, history, music and my own self image has mirrored his lyrics into my life since I was 14.
Thanks mom for putting on his records!
Here are some pictures of last nights show at the Mondavi Center. Among this, are some of my favorite shots of him..

See me..

..the coyote outlaw. Running with the untamed angels of the forest. With no expectations of modern reality or disappointments of our unforeseen future. My emotional protest is binding , grown by fear.

I welcomed two new Cacti to the family today. Planting the babes in their pots of life, and listening to alot of Johnny Cash.









Johnny Cash Hurt

Got it , need it, got it, got it.

I got my leather, got my boots, and now...I have a riding helmet!! My honey was helping his BFF spring clean his home , and donate much needed goods to the local thrift. As they gathered everything up to go , he spotted a black riding helmet with a visor! Oh my goodness! I am so happy. I got all my outfits planned and my routes around town, now all I need is the scoot and license..hehe..Its a start! Weeeeeheeeww! I am doing the disco right now!

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.
