Lady Gaga | Hair Love

Wind.

I love the wind. It is AMAZING. I love the feel of riding in the car, windows down, face out the window like a silly dog, just feeling the wind on my face. I feel like a bird. I feel like I'm flying. I feel like the world is mine, I own it. This morning was beautiful: cloudy, grey, windy, breezy. My kind of a day. I feel like a feather right now. So light and breezy. Nothing can crush me. Nothing can bring me down.

Flavor of the Week.

I change a lot. Constantly. I go through mini phases, where I discover and obsess over certain things, then I just stop and move on to something else. I don't stop liking said thing, it just becomes a thing I love, a thing that will stick with me forever. Right now, classical music. Not just any: Film Scores, Instrumentals of Songs already popular. I love singing along to music, I do. But I've lost my voice, not literally, but in a metaphorical way. I can't satisfy my singing palate with anything lately. Last was Lady Gaga, until she went out and busted with Judas. So hate that song. I don't do blasphemy. I love God. But back to the original subject. I'm on Pandora compiling a station of music I am just loving:

• Harry Potter Series Film Score
• Lord of the Rings Trilogy Film Score
• Twilight Series Film Score

Just to name a few. I love ideas, or suggestions. Any film scores out there to recommend?  I also discovered a quartet on this station. Escala. Check them out. Oh and here's the link to my Pandora station:

What The Hell?

 

So I was at Chicken Kitchen with my friends, right. This was actually a few months ago, but I forgot I had the pictures until recently lol.  I ordered my usual Chop Chop (yellow rice with veggies, grilled chicken, and then I drench it with curry sauce), then we goo look for a table. Behind us there was something left on the table. So I get a closer look and had a WTF moment.

 

Someone had left a "Degree" deodorant on the table! What?! Why? What?! So many questions popped in my mind. Why would you leave deodorant on a table in a restaurant? Why are you walking around with a deodorant? Are you so smelly that you need to bring deodorant everywhere you go? And if so, why'd you leave it behind?  I dunno. I dunno. But it was definitely weird.

Art Cars. And Their Owners.

I was at the liquor store a few weeks ago with my friends. And there was this guy. And his car. And I've been meaning to write about it. I see stuff like this, and it makes me think. It makes me wonder. How does a person get to this point? Where in this man's life did he think that this was a good idea? Or that this is healthy? I don't mean to sound like I'm pompous. I'm truly curious about the human psyche. Things like this interest me. Just human behavior fascinates me. All the weird shit people do, why they do it, etc. Actually, I looked into this. There's a whole community of people who do this to their cars. "Art Cars". It's fascinating. Here's a blog I saw about this sort of thing: Art Car Central

It's kinda kool, kinda weird, kind of disturbing, but in a good way. I dunno how to even describe it.

Counting Down.

There are only 10 days left until my Mom's 50th Birthday Bash! We've been toiling away like nuts on this party. My sister has spent $1200! But it's going to be a blast. There will be a typical Hispanic meal, appetizers, a desert station, cake and a candy buffet. Not to mention party favors, a liquor bar, decorations galore and cotton candy! OMG I don't even know what I'm going to wear >_<

It's dress casual attire. I have a black dress I can wear, but my boobs sort of fall out of it a bit >_>; So I don't know. I might have to buy a dress. I really don't want to spend the money. My boyfriend needs something to wear more than me I think. He barely has any dress clothes. We'll see.

TO DO LIST:

• Laundry
• Finish the napkins.
• Start resin pendants.
• Start DVD slide show.

To Do Today.

I have a few things I need to do today. Actually, I have a lot of things to do today. I even woke up extra early to get started.  

• Napkins/Cutlery set up. (50% Done)
  
• Guest seating chart.
• Test the record/foam idea.
• Laundry. Tons of it. 
• Wash the dog.
• Crop glitter circles for records.
• Fix those ice buckets. Make em prettyful!

I think that's all for today. And I woke up exhausted. I'm going to pass out by the end of this day. 

Sarussi = EPIC!

Yesterday, Lolo (sister), Bryant (boyfriend), and I went to Sarussi! This place is one of those Miami places to eat. A hole in the wall that offers epic food. They have 16'' sandwiches, packed with amazing Hispanic meats! All 3 of us had a Churrasco (Flap steak) sandwich with mozzarella, tomatoes, shoestring fries and their special sauce. Lolo had bought these groupon type certificates for $5 and it was for $15 worth of food. We bought 40'' worth of sandwiches for like $20 total!

If you're in Miami, you need to try this place out:  6795 SW 8th St, Miami, FL 33144

Did I mention Man Vs. Food did a challenge there? Check it out!

Money Honey.

It sucks being unemployed. Or slightly self-employed but not doing as well as I want lol. I want money. I want to buy things. I'm also mostly tired of being home all day. I want to get out, have something to do. Not just sit here and waste away on the internet. My sleep has really suffered, my eating schedule is out of order. I'm all kinds of backwards. All because I'm not working.

There's so many, too many, people put there in my same predicament. We should all band together and do something lol Not really sure what though. I'm just ranting now...

Catch Me.

Catch Me. by SkittlesRTasty featuring carved jewelry

Just a little something... I loved the pattern of this dress/leotard. So I played with it.

To Do Today.

I have so many, many things to do today. I can barely keep track. And I have to wait for Bryant to get out of bed as well. 

• Glitter the centerpiece cutouts.
• Finish cutting the damn cutouts.
• Cut and Paint foam.
• Edit photos for slideshow.

I'm pretty sure there's more I can't remember!

Gaga, my favorite dress.

Gaga, my favorite dress. by SkittlesRTasty on Polyvore.com

I went to the Monster Ball, and Gaga wore this towards the end, while singing "Paparazzi". I loved it. I had seen it once online, but never could find more pics. Makes sense now, it's her concert wardrobe, there wouldn't be as many verifiable pics of it. After a major search, I found a few usable pictures of it. Enjoy.

50th Birthday for my Mom :D

Me and my sister are secretly planning a 50th Birthday party for my mom. Thankfully she doesn't read blogs or anything of the sort so I can freely post this :D It's a 1950's theme sock hop type of thing.

To save money we've basically done everything from scratch. I was working on the center pieces today. Round, clear plastic base, with a clear tube attached, which I've rolled up a blue glittery tulle inside, then we're gonna put a record on top, and a cut out of different pop culture stuff from the 50's. Each table will be called depending on what's on that record.

We still haven't acquired the records yet. I've been working on the cut outs, and the tulle so far. I'm doing all the creative/crafty work. My sister is all about the connections and calling people, places etc. Hopefully I can add some pics with this blog. We'll see, I get lazy for uploading.

I'm So Fucking Excited.

Today was a pretty good day.

Me and my sister have been planning a 50th Birthday party for my mom in secret for the past month or so. It's a Fifties theme party, she loves stuff from the 50's. So toy we did a lot of errand for the party.

At the end of the night, we hit Flanigan's, for their 50% all booze special. My new fave shot: Melon Ball! It's simple, it's strong, it's sweet. We had 8 shot between both of us, and it was only $25! That's a deal right there.

Now, the real excitement is tomorrow. Lady Gaga concert! I've been dying to see her perform. She is seriously one of the very, very, very few artists I truly admire and enjoy. I think I've only been fans of 3 bands/artists my entire life: Hanson (I know it's silly, but I love the message of their music, and they have great talent), No Doubt/Gwen Stefani (Loved them before they did "Just A Girl" which was their breakthrough song), and now Lady Gaga.

When Gaga first started, I didn't like her/ I thought her weirdness was a product of marketing. I loved her style, but I thought it was an agents clever idea of getting fans. I watched, studied, read everything about her for a year. I finally realized, that this is all her. She is  putting a theatrical show for the world, and she is the sole actress. That kind of talent I admire. She re-invents herself, re-creates herself, revives herself. I love it! This is the kind of creativity, originality I always craved from an artist in a music generation that is all copy-cats and marketing schemes. 

TomorrowI'm going to have a blast seeing her live. Me, my sister, and Gaga! Cannot wait!

Hypocritical Moment of the Day

This hypocritical moment of the day was brought to you by my boyfriend.

My boyfriend is wonderful. I have no complaints. We get along wonderfully. He's the love of my life. But every once in a while, shit goes down. That's normal, like in any relationship.

Basically, he's on Facebook, and I was in bed, and looked over. I notice he has a friend or is following a page of this pretty little slutty model, who shared some video titled "Freaky Girls" or something along those lines. I'm a woman, I'm defensive if my man looks at another woman. This is natural instinct. Except, he doesn't ever look at other women. He says that it's disrespectful to me. I agree, and love that he thinks  like this. But out of the blue, he has some slut on his friends list? And he gets upset with me for pointing it out?

Am I wrong here? I mean I'm not like psycho jealous or anything. I trust him. I just don't like being disrespected. I got bothered that he follows some model on facebook who's half naked. Yet if I mention Johnny Depp, he rolls his eyes at me and is suddenly offended. Why are you being hypocritical with me? That isn't you. That's never been who you are. 

And this all made me feel insignificant, like I'm not enough for you, I'm not sexy to you. I'm a woman, a human, these actions make me feel insecure about myself. So I think I have all the reason to get upset at this. Even if you think it's silly. My emotions, insecurities, self-image, respect... is silly to you. Whatever.

Out-of-body Experience

I think I had one. And it was horrible.

Let me start at the beginning. I don't sleep well, to say the least. So I take sleeping pills often to help get rest. Side affects are sometimes hallucinations, and nightmares. Some rest, huh? Last night at around 5AM I had a horrible nightmare, I woke up so distressed and startled that I awoke my boyfriend to comfort me. I asked him to turn the light on, but right as he did, I think I fell asleep again.

Next thing I know, I threw myself out of bed, to go to the bathroom. Except, I was still in bed. Or though, I thought I was. It was as if my body wanted to pee, but my subconcious was asleep in bed. I was not, at that moment, in control of myself. My boyfriend thought I was falling, as I said I threw myself out of the bed, and he grabbed me and yelled my name.

Then suddenly I awoke and was back in my body, and I started to scream in terror. Because I was standing, when I knew for a fact, I was asleep in bed. The thought that I was not in control, brought so much fear I was screaming as if I had been trapped and suddenly released.

It was horrifying, I don't ever want to feel that way again. My family all woke up of course. It was a mess, and hard to explain, I was shivering and crying and just so confused. I drank some Coke to give my body a bit of caffeine. And I couldn't get to sleep for a few hours after that. What a way to start a day.

New Craft Project on the Horizon

For a while now I've admired handcrafted resin work. I've seen a few shops do it on Etsy and Artfire. It's absolutely darling. I've always wanted to learn how to do it myself. And guess what. I have! I've already compiled a list of materials, and set a budget and did some projected sales. I think this will be a really good opportunity to make some money on Yardsellr. I'd really have an advantage since not a lot of people do this kind of work on there. I'm really quite excited! I shall make pendants, earrings, and rings! Can't wait!

I'm going to take this time and throw in a bit of advertising for myself. I have some very adorable Hello Kitty jewelry up for sale. Please have yourself a look! I'd muchly appreciate it!

My Yardsellr, Shop type thing!

Industrial Revolution

I look to capture a simplistic version of Edwardian and Victorian eras, with an influence of modern steampunk and haute couture. Natural tones, simple accessories, and a kick of style brings you to this collection set seemingly titled "Industrial Revolution".

Don't Call Me Gaga.

Don't Call Me Gaga. by SkittlesRTasty on Polyvore.com

Lady Gaga tribute.

This is my latest set on Polyvore. I really do enjoy Gaga. I was so apprehensive about here when she had made it big, I usually avoid modern music if it isn't in social situations. I thought she might be a "One-Hit-Wonder" like a lot of these over the top style artists. But her theatrics, her ethics, and her ever changing style, might make her a legend. We'll see.

Wired.

I've been awake for a while now. Going on almost 20 hours soon. I feel wired, yet strained as well. I should sleep. But I don't really want to. Is this insomnia? Or does it not count when I choose to not sleep? Even if I wanted to sleep, I know I'll just lie there, thinking, endlessly about nothing. Then I end up exhausting myself, and still no sleep. Maybe I'm over thinking this. I tend to do that.

I love Peacocks. They are magnificent creatures. Here's a little set I put together, a tribute to those cocky birds.

A Room with a View

A Room with a View by SkittlesRTasty featuring reversible skirts

Just a little something I cooked up. Been quite a while since I did one of these (:

Let's have another go at this.

For a while now, I've been trying to start a blog. I have to say it's been difficult. I'm sort of an inconsistent person, unfortunately. I believe my downfall in this "blogging" business, is that I'm trying to hard to be thematic. I love the idea of themes in almost anything, except for, of course, myself. I'm ever changing to stick to anything to long, before it bores me to death. So, as an introduction to this new "project", welcome to my theme-less blog, The Bleeding Metaphor.

You must be wondering, assuming anyone will read this, where and what is this title I have chosen, "The Bleeding Metaphor". Well first, and foremost, I will thank this page, Codename Generator, for my title. I really had no idea what to call this, "blog". So, naturally I turned to Google, typed in "blog name generator", and behold, that website. I read through, then went to the generator, and after about 50 silly titles, up came Bleeding Metaphor. It instantly had me, it was me, it was how I perceive the world, how I think. Whenever I want to convey what I feel, I always use metaphors, similes, etc. I bleed metaphors! So it was really quite fitting, and it felt just right. So, there you have it.

One more thing, before I conclude my first post. My writing style varies, depending on what I did, how I feel. I feel very Pre-20th century at the moment, for I've been sitting on the couch all day watching British Pre-20th century movies and shows, and a plenty of Masterpiece Theater, a PBS series with different miniseries constantly running. So, do not be surprise by my sudden choices in words, and eloquence, or lack there of.

And with that, I bid thee, adieu.
