Kissing Film Stills, pt 10

When I watch movies, I always take pictures of the kissing scenes!!

Bonjour tout le monde! Je suis en Paris this week but I shall keep you up to your ears in kissing film stills, nonetheless!
Louise Brooks pulling back from an embrace. I think that’s a balloon she’s holding!
A kiss captured among decomposing nitrate.
I think this photo hints at a lot more than kissing! Meow!
James Cagney under the full force of the flower girl.
I love it when I can capture them in a full on face smoosh. Baby Take a Bow (1934)

Things I love Thursday!

Things I love this week:

  • It was so beautiful out this week! I biked past a street corner where a man was selling sno-cones to quite a crowd. Oh, Texas weather!
  • Stitching off a batch of Tidy Cloths to send out to the Museum of Sex – they will start selling them in their gift shop in April.
  • Getting tattooed by Nick Baxter – packing my vegan picnic lunch and preparing for rib work – eee!
  • Listen to Sophie Madeline play the ukulele and you will heart it too!
  • Reading “Lost Princess of Oz” in the original 1913 edition.
  • Seeing a live-action Silent Movie acted out by a group of amazing Austin artists. I saw it not once, but twice. Once on a date with a super cute boy and once with my bff on a lady date.
  • Taking a shower and setting my hair for the morning to the beat of the metal band playing in my living room.
  • Literally just wearing vintage lingerie to work to protect my fresh tattoo and I kept getting compliments on my “nice dress!”
  • Whiskey, fiddles and red head girls.
  • Looking forward to getting tattooed in Paris, also.
  • SXSW is so soon! I get to see all my favorite internet people in the meat world! Anja, Gala, Chad, Laurel, Molly Crabapple, Angel and so many more! Also… all of the cuteable crust punk boys who migrate from Colorado and always end up staying in my co-op and filling up the commons with their dirty feet and piles of candy – LOVE IT!
  • So excited about my sxsw waffle & jam party!! Got so many gumdrops and tea cups and glittery things to gather as soon as I get back from ….
  • GOING TO PARIS ON FRIDAY!!!!

Phonograph Tattoo

We started on my new tattoo piece last Friday. I tried to take photos of it but it’s in such a unique angle that a video did it the most justice. I’m so excited about it! You can see Nick’s work on his wonderful website.

One thing that I was going to say (that got cut off in the video) is that I got the “Lost Princess of Oz” primarily because I saw it in the Henry Darger documentary and I loved his little frog feet.
