Free Sexy Art Prints!

Australian artist Hazel Dooney is offering print downloads for free here. If you print it out and send it to her, she'll sign it for you.

But.. I wouldn't print her art out in public settings...

Central Park Bathroom - toilet, sink, stage

Public bathrooms are obviously not pleasant. The Central Park ones are not that different, the smell, the mysterious puddles, the dark and the creepy.

But for Irish director and playwright Paul Walker, the Central Park bathrooms are the perfect settings for his play "Ladies & Gents." The play is set entirely in the bathroom, both men's and women's, the show portrays the seedy underside of 1950s Dublin, where politicians dished about corruptions and call girls (call girls, politicians? Sounds familiar lately?)

The audience stands in front of the rows of stalls to watch the play. During intermissions, they switch facilities to watch the other half of the play.

Apparently a man actually ran in to used the bathroom in front of the actors... it is still a bathroom afterall.

Featured Seller changes and Weekly Featured Seller: Mikiye Creations

I've been trying really hard to maintain a weekly schedule to feature other sellers on my blog. Usually I'll send sellers with shops I like 4 questions for them to answer, a short Q&A session. But this format hasn't been working out. Sometimes people gets too busy to answer them in time, or they forgot to do it and I have to constantly follow up. I totally understand these situations, and right now I do not have time to follow up anymore as I once did. Although I would still love to do my Q&A sessions (anyone who wants to do this, just let me know), from now on I'm just going to pick shops I like and feature them on my own.

So without further ado:

Our Weekly featured Seller is Mikiye Creations. You can visit her store at Mikiye.etsy.com Besides maintaining a great blog which I enjoy, Mikiye has beautiful jewelry and accessory pieces. Currently I'm digging her floral hair accessory.

I've been Tagged!

I've been tagged by Mikiye Creations. The rules go:

1. Link to the tagger.

2. Share 7 random or weird facts about yourself.

3. Tag 7 people, post their names and links to their blogs on your blog.

4. Tell the 7 people you tagged by posting “Tag you’re it” on their blogs in their comments box and explain the rules to them.

Ok, 7 random or weird facts about myself.

1. I recently dyed the tips of my hair purple.

2. My cats are trained assassins. Look how well behave they are.
I'm just kidding, they're not really that well behaved. This picture just showed one of those rare moments when they're being peaceful. They usually fight each other a lot, like any siblings would. The big one is Jack and the tinier one is Cali. Jack is actually my bf's cat but I've also claimed him as my own. Jack was a stray and my bf took him in. I adopted Cali from the animal shelter my brother works at about a year ago. We took her in since she was only a couple days old so I practically raised her. She grew up so fast.

3. I will never get sick of eating rice, even though I eat that almost every day of my life.

4. Out of boredom, I caught the movie The Wicker Man recently starring Nicolas Cage. That has to be one of the worst movie ever (definitely one of the worst ending ever.) I found this compilation of scenes from the movie much more entertaining.



5. I'm not good with kids.

6. None of my friends share the same musical taste as I do and that makes it really hard for me to go to concerts, unless I go by myself like a loser.

7.Thinking up 7 random and weird facts about myself is actually harder than I thought.
