She turned 35!

So, a couple of weeks ago a friend and I  went on a marvelous adventure, to Royal T’s Hello Kitty Masquerade party, in honor of her (her being Ms. Kitty herself) 35th anniversary… There was an art exhibit goin on at this joint for almost a month and I had heard from friends it was great, but crowded, and I am not a crowd person, AT ALL, but H.K. is only goin to turn 35 once, so we got all cute and drove and stood in line for 2 hours and attended…

We left so early because the first 100 ladies in line recieved a super duper exciting bag of free H.K. magic with all sorts of fun goodies.. We were number 70 and 71 when we arrived, 2 hours later when the doors opened, we got to the door to find out one hundred and thirty some douche bags cut in front of us… Needless to say I let the dorks who poorly organized this know how I and the ladies around me felt.. We still got nothing, but we got in so oh well…

While standing in line, I  was amazed to see  how insanley excited women-WOMEN- of my age were so excited not only for a chance to get a free goodie bag, but to see Hello Kitty and her art, it was amazing, late 20′s, some very late teens, and women in their 30′s were all there for the same reason,——–FOR A CAT, WITH NO MOUTH, A DRAWING, A CHARACTER… We could not stand still, but yet we stood in line, wiggling, antsy, and cold for 2 hours, some stood there for longer! Anyways, I couldn’t believe it. I was standing there, freezing, on a Friday, rushing to this line right after work, chaning in my car, for a cat- a cat with no mouth (in real life I dont even love cats…)I voiced this insanity to my fellow crazys standing in line with me, we all laughed, and realized how insane it was, but its a staple from child hood- a warm fuzzy one, with sugar on top- a memory adn staple that none of us are willing to let go of…

The costumes and characters at this event were amazingly amusing, check em out…

I have taken far to long to post the millions of pics  I took, so I borrowed some from my friend Mary. Thanks Mary.

P.S. Yes, that is infact a VELVET PAINTING of Hello Kitty as Elvis…

Good Vs. Evil?

Who remembers these?

I sure do, I had a couple dolls, a couple small ones, and a handful of pencil toppers, given to students by teachers as a total bribe to be good….
I remember my mom telling me that they were evil dolls, but I set her opinion aside and rode along with the fad, I was 8 years old or so for goodness sakes…

Photo Booths, are one of my most favorite things. I am very particular when it comes to passion for photo booths, they have to be the old school black and white, grainy photo taking ones.  Non of this colored photo hat wearing digital junk, no no my friends, old school all the way. I love the spontaneity of the whole event, you have no time to think about the pictures that are going to be taking, I mean you can plan, but planning is only going to work for that 1st picture and then its over, that flash snaps like no other, three more times, bam! bam! bam! Those 4 moments in time are captured, and there you go…

Go on, get out there and go make a memory…

What screams summer like the Fair?

 

 

Nothin screams Summer like the Fair, its a magical place that I have always gotten excited about… I must admit over the years, my excitement has changed from one thing to another but when it comes to the fair, its no less amusing. What’s a Fair without nearly impossible games? It makes winning that much better! Your so excited to have won that knock of Sponge Bob Circle Pants for only $47.00! What a deal!

What’s a Fair without face painting? How come kids are the only ones  to get their face painted?

 

What’s a Fair without fried food? I don’t think its legal anywhere in the U.S.A. to deep fry food to this extent, unless you are within the gates of a Fair… it just would not be humane.

What’s a Fair without souvenirs you definitely DO NOT need, like a tank with your name on it (just in-case you forget it) or maybe a lovely light denim jacket with an airbrushed image of your dog Spike on it?

AND LAST BUT CERTINLEY NOT LEAST, WHAT’S A FAIR WITHOUT….

 

????…..

What is your favorite part about the fair?

Kat Von Hippie

It’s OK to be a little confused, we all are honey….

 

I was so excited for the art sale this past weekend,it was quit a show, not the type I expected, but ammusing all in all… 

OUT OF NO WHERE a HUGE Drum Circle set them selves up  right near my art space, 93 minutes later (who’s counting?!) the drum circle grew about 4 spaces wide that’s pretty big… it started out with eh, 15 people, and ended with well over 50… My brain was rattling far to much for me to even try to count. Characters of all sorts participated in this hippie jumping, scenster havin, patoullie oil lovin, incense wavin, baggy house pants made out of quilts wear-in circus. But Kat Von Hippie was DEFINITELY my favorite!

I mean…

Final pieces in full affect, you betta step back o’ yous gonna get riz-ecked ( ok, I cant take the full creativity award for that lovely phrase I am going to have to give Tony the credits for that one…) no ones gonna get wrecked, I mean, I wont be doing any wrecking, I mean, I might be a wreck if I don’t sell any of these  paintings this weekend, but I don’t think I will have a problem doing so, so come on down to Cal Worthingtons, no no no I mean, Come on down to the Art walk this weekend off Linden in the artists district of Long Beach, from 3-10p…. It should be grand, nice weather rad artist and some affordable goodies. Heck ya, that’s right I am using this post as a TOTAL commercial ADVERTISEMENT- we are in a recession here people, we have to use the resources that we have!  See you there?
