This Weeks Inspiration: Cheeming Boey

This weeks (or whenevers) inspiration was found by me stalking the Sharpie website for challenges (the Sharpie website offers challenges and tutorials for Sharpie club members.) I was looking through the blog and came across an artist named Cheeming Boey, who does his artwork on paper coffee cups. I am becoming a huge fan. On his website you can look through his journal, which is very entertaining! I like Cheeming Boey's original Shel Silverstien/Keri Smith-ish style.

I would love to be as talented as him. I find that nowadays it's difficult to be completely original in art because almost everything has been done! So I try my best to add many twists and turns to what has already passed!

Birthday Challenge Update

A couple articles down I speak about for my 16Th Birthday I would do a "Everyday Photo" video. Well, turns out that may have to be delayed till further notice, but I found my journals. I am making a plan to journal every single day Yes, everyday! I know it doesn't sound special or difficult to the least but I am a person who isn't very good at communication, out loud or on paper. It can be extremely difficult for my to document my day everyday.

At my local dollar store I found a set of four Twilight journals. Yeah, I know Twilight sucks and I agree but the journals are convenient and one fits in my purse perfectly.

I had a very nice Birthday party by the way. I had a Unicorn cake, a bar of candies, and my family.

Not to mention I got the Lime Crime lipstick shade I always wanted!

All in all it was a great day!

It's Almost Here!

So, being the lucky girl that I am for my Birthday my mother bought me Lime Crime's lipstick 'My Beautiful Rocket' it is almost here (knowledge due to Track and Confirm on http://usps.com)

It arrived in Charleston yesterday and should be coming soon!

I can't wait. I will have to do a mini photo shoot because so much has changed with my appearance. I now have red hair, an undercut, and I've lost some more weight!

Sadly, I am not as cool as Doe Deere but I can try to be. Look for my post and video review on Youtube and mookychick (if it gets approved, cross your fingers!)

Love,

D.M

New Mooky Article!

So, I have a new article on http://mookychick.co.uk and I am probably a little early (if anyone even reads this.) The article speaks about the semi-popular hair trend, the Undercut. Undercut is a term for when you cut or shave a section of the hair where there is another layer that falls over. The article is taking a little bit but it is most likely posted now.

This Weeks Inspiration: Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo de Rivera was born in Coyoacán, Mexico. Born Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderón. Frida was a Mexican painter with extraordinary talents. Frida is a feminist icon that we can all learn beautiful lessons from. At the age of six she developed polio, which made one leg appear much smaller than the other. She went through a terrific accident that caused large amounts of pain and hurt her ability to reproduce. She went through a volatile relationship with her husband Diego Rivera.

Her appearance is well known in history. She had a uni brow, hair with flowers, big brown eyes, and traditional Mexican dress. I personally love her to death. Her artwork and past inspires me so much. I hope to get a Frida Kahlo tattoo sometime in the distant future. I also want to be Frida for Halloween.

I believe that there is much to be learned and feelings of inspiration thanks to Frida Kahlo.

She is my hero and I hope you see her the same!
