This photo is a nod to Gil Elvgren’s classic work. My how I love pinups! Which brings me to this blog post…and why pinups began.  During the 1940′s and WWII, lovely ladies were painted on the sides of military aircraft to being good luck to the men on mission. Add to this the scraps of photos that military men kept in their barracks, and one can see how the pinup genre gained such great attention..

I know, I know y’all are going to give me a tongue lashing.  I really need it.  Please be gentle.  I just recently bought my first lipstick from Mac cosmetics.  It is Dita Von Teese’s favorite shade.  She has been brand ambassador for them in the past.  I bought the Russian Red tube.  I applied it ever so gently and it went on so smooth.  It also had great coverage and lasted throughout my concert.  I, of course, had to wear it to work and I must admit it stayed on until after lunch.

I decided yesterday to buy some of their eyeshadow.  I picked out a particular combination and named it “virginesque.” Yes I made that name up so don’t hate me.  I used that name because I am a virgin on using Mac eyeshadow.  I am very excited to receive it in the mail

Imagine that you are a real housewife of OC, New York, New Jersey….etc, etc..

So you want to be a famous housewife on the Bravo network.  You dream of living the life of a celebrity without actually not having any talent or anything special for that matter.  The series was reality show loosely based on the desperate housewives.    It basically follows around women that have no clue of a normal life.

The first set of housewives were the real housewives of Orange County.  The show became wildly popular.  The series branched off into several more cities including New York, New Jersey, Atlanta and Miami.

In honor of one of my guilty pleasures I am going to teach you how to become a real housewife.  Remember this the beginning of a series of how to turn your boring life into something fabulous by using your imagination.

1.  Make sure you marry a rich man.

This is one of the keys to unlock the door to housewife heaven.  Plastic surgeons are a way up on the list.  Bankers, entrepeneurs , and real estate gurus.  Throw in a little “old school” money and you are ready to rock.

2.  Have perfect teeth.

I cannot stress this enough.  You must sport a mouth full of teeth that shine so that it blinds everyone that comes into you world.

3.  Have plastic surgery which includes botox, breast augmentations, nose jobs and lip injections.  

When your are married to a plastic surgeon this is certainly not a problem.  A couple of the women have the huge lips make them look like a blow fish.  Now, one must remember that when you get the botox injections you will not be able to look surprised anymore.  Breast augmentations must be a very large size.  They must be replaced every ten years.  Remember, you must show off so much cleavage that other peoples eyes will bug out at the sheer site of them.

4.  When you go out in public it is extremely important to act like white trash.  Even though you have gobs of money.  

Let’s face it you will get into many cat fights.  It is reality television.  It is ok to call people a bitch.  You are more than welcome to flip tables in a fine dining restaurant.  You can expect to have your very expensive wig or extensions pulled during one of these cat fights.  Of course, alcohol will be available at all of these outings and it is perfectly normal to be drunk and belligerent at all functions.

5.  Have absolutely no talent but shamelessly promote yourself.  If you are really lucky you can launch a clothing line, makeup, cocktails or launch your singing career.  

It does not matter if you have never even though you have absolutely no talent.  For the most part you will most probably end up divorced in the long run.  You can begin a singing career and even produce a record even though you sound horrible and you don’t even have to stand in line like those bozos at American Idol.

Now, go into your happy place.  You can do it.  Just think about the perks of being a housewife take some of my above suggestions.  You will not regret it.

I plan on beginning a series on a fantasy world.  I was blessed with a very vivid imagination which is both a blessing and a curse.   This is good for my writing life but it is bad for my real life.

Life is hard.  Period.  I am going to give you tips on how to take yourself away from a dull and boring life.  Just stay tuned…..

My mother always accused me of living in a fantasy world.  Yes, mama I live in a world that I create in my mind.  It is a lovely place to be.

Hey cruel world tour in Kansas City, Missouri….

20120519-140859.jpg

I began on my adventure to Kansas City, Missouri early Tuesday morning.  A nine hour trip doesn’t sound too bad when you are a hard core Marilyn Manson fan.  I can listen to his new album ‘Born Villain’.  I can listen to the radio.  Hell, I can even put the top up on mustang sally and let the wind blow through my hair.  I actually rarely let the the top down because of my hair.  Look out Kansas City here I come.

This is a long drive.  At some point I can barely hold my head up.  I am such of a task driven person that I only stop one or two times on the trip.  It is a very long trip.  Thankfully I found a “rock/metal” station in Kansas City that made me very happy.  They were actually giving away tickets to the show.  They actually talked about the show.  It was like I had drifted into an alternative world where you are not judged by the music you enjoy.  The station played bands such as Disturbed, Slipknot and five finger death punch.  It was wonderful.  I just wished we had a similar station here in Memphis.

After I arrived at the Best Western in KC I went and found something to eat.  The hotel was super nice.  I would highly recommend the hotel to everyone.  I went to bed fairly early due to my extreme exhaustion.

I decided to explore the town.  There was this fabulous outdoor mall that reminded me of Gatlinburg or maybe even Paris (although I have never been there).  I think the name of it was the Country Club Mall but I wouldn’t bank my life on it.

After perusing the shops I decided to go back to the room and work on my projects I had brought along.  I also wanted to be well rested for the concert.  About four I decided to go and find the concert hall.  The show started at 8pm and the opening band was the pretty reckless.

I found the Uptown theatre without difficulty.  There were people (goths) standing outside the theatre because it was a general admission.  I know the poor things almost died of a heat stroke.  I went back to the Best Western and rested for a while.

I got dressed up and went to the hall about 8pm.  It was really cool.  I expected the hall to be full of black wearing, eyeliner, black lips and chain wearing goths roaming the halls.  But, in fact, most of the people were blue jeans and concert t’shirts.  I was kind of disappointed that the people were not dressed up as I expected.

Manson came out with a vengeance.  He was looking quite striking.  I honestly cannot recall the number he opened with.  He played all of my favorite songs.  Really the only song I did not like was Tourniquet.  When the podium came out and with the antichrist superstar logo I almost died.  The song took me back to when it was first released.  It was fabulous beyond belief.  Of course, the show ended with ‘the beautiful people.’  I could have cried because of all of the emotions that poured out of me that night.  Music is my addiction, my love and my drug.  It takes me to a place where I can be who I am and feel the way I want to feel.

Thank you Mr. Manson for the most memorable night of my life.

Forever my lovelies,

Not the typical Marilyn Manson fan…

Take a look at me.  A really good look.  Would you ever dream that I am a huge Marilyn Manson fan?  Yes, I said it.  Yes, I mean it.  Now while you pick your jaw off of the floor allow me to share the reasons for my love of him and his’ music.  I love music that with a very strong beat.  I really like his’ sound and how he expresses himself.  He does not care what people think.  He has been blamed for murders of the Columbine massacre.  No person in musical history has ever been blamed for murders he did not commit.  It’s pretty obvious that he has non-traditional values.  He just says what other people are ashamed to admit.  One of the new songs on his album are ‘murderers are getting prettier everyday.’  Some people might translate that statement to codon the act of murder.  However, if you think about the Kasey Anthony case she was a beautiful girl.  She murdered her daughter.  Manson forces you to look at yourself and society and think….really think.

How to become a Marilyn Manson fan

1.  Buy a Marilyn Manson album.  You can clearly see how he evolves throughout the years.

2.  Go to his’ website and research his’ music and art.  http://www.marilynmanson.com

3.  Follow his’ twitter and facebook accounts.

4.  Go to http://www.thenachkabarett.com and gain further knowledge and insight on his art, music and life.

5.  Go to the other Manson wonderful websites dedicated to his work…http://www.providermodule.com  http://www.mansonwiki.com  http://www.basetendencies.com

6.  Be prepared to become labeled as everything from a devil worshipper to inhumane.

With all of this being said I leave tomorrow to go to the Kansas City Marilyn Manson show.  I am super excited about this.

Dear Brenda,

You were such a wonderful mother to me and Jerimy.  We always felt loved and secure in your arms.  You were taken from us at such an early age.  You raised us to be self suffient but we still needed you.  I miss you so very much.  I love you, mama.  

To my beautiful daughter’s….These are the loves of my life.   They are wonderful daughters and I am so very proud to be their mother.  I wish that mama would have been able to see how all three of her girls (Hailey included).  

Forever my lovelies,

Miss Stacy Blaise
