Pismo Beach 2018

Plastic Paralysis show

    The Plastic Paralysis showing at Studio Bongiorno was amazing. It raised awareness for the plastic toxins that are creating havoc in earth's Oceans, land and effecting not only water but also sea life including turtles, fish and many more. It was heart breaking at times to look at the pieces but it is something that needed to be said. I hope you can educate yourselves on what is going on in the gyre and eventually do some environmental clean up. I love doing beach clean ups, helping out when I can, donating or even taking in a rescue animal or volunteering. It is hard but if we all do our part we can help out.

    It was wonderful and enlightening to be able to hear some of the artists speak about their pieces. I met some really cool people from Santa Cruz and other places and we had some nice chats. Thank you to the curator and the artists for putting this show on and helping the Bay Area become more aware of what is going on.

Portland Saturday Market

 Portland Saturday market was awesome. There were a lot of boho type items, jewelry, loads of food and a few cool gothic items. I even found a lady selling handmade jack and sally boho/goth bags haha I have never heard of hippie goth but if it exists this was it lol. It was actually pretty cool. There was a guy selling some cool gothic goblets, nerdy awesomeness like Link's shield from legend of zelda and a really amazing street performer who managed to put himself through a tennis racket and later balanced while juggling sharp knives with the tennis racket still around him. He must have been double jointed or something! I have never seen anyone do that. It was a great day. If you find yourself in Portland check out the Saturday market. So rad!

The San Jose Fantasy Faire

Earlier today my love and I checked out the 2nd annual Fantasy Faire in San Jose. It was an amazing experience. We met up with people and had such a wonderful time. I hope to be back next year the the year after that. I got a really cool romantic gothic skirt on sale, a fae necklace, some sage and some wax moons from the vendors.  I treated myself to a huge ice lemonade to beat the heat. I love fantasy and whimsical things. I always feel at home in places like this.

Trying on a lovely fairie skirt.
