What's in a name?

What's in a name? I like sexy and I like trailer parks. So I just decided to use this name and not overthink it.
To me a trailerpark is a sortof mythical place. Real trailerparks...not so great sometimes. But the trailerpark in my imagination is sexy. It's a little bit Sunnyvale from Trailer Park Boys and a little bit Shady Dell, AZ.It's a place apart, in dreamtime, full of fun and freedom.

On the show they grow pot

The opening and theme song are pretty cool

Interesting....

A modern mobile home!

By the way, if you haven't seen the Canadian TV show Trailer Park Boys you might want to check it out, especially the earlier seasons. There are some characters I don't really care for but it can be very funny. I like the episodes about the Samsquamsh and liqorball sandwiches.
Mike Smith who plays Bubbles has a great singing voice- so great when he does his song Kitties Are So Nice. I also like a song called Curious that he did when he was in the band Sandbox, but he wasn't the lead singer on that for some reason!
Well, I have started to line up women to film. Maybe this will actually get going. Seems to be flowing along....I'm reminded of a quote by Moshe Feldenkrais in his book The Potent Self  "One is not reluctant to give up action that does not work properly when in possesion of a correct method that does so; one even feels somewhat foolish for not having though of it before."

Glitz and jewels and platinum hair

Showgirls...who wouldn't want to dress up like that?

 I'm thinking about style...traditional Native American dress is always good. Dolly Parton has always been so upbeat....I'm a big fan of Kendra. And Holly Madison. Her hair is so nice. And Fergie is very sexy.
Clothes you put on, hair color, jewels....makeup...

Dolly Parton!

She is only about 5 feet tall!

They look happy.

Kendra and Hank Baskett

Holly Madison

Fergie. Wish I could sing like her!

 This is a "custom cut" gem. I have learned to cut gems like this but I am not sure I want to do it for money. The gold ring is by Alex Sepkus, a designer I like. I like that his designs are smooth.
Another custom cut gem (cut by lapidary artists here as opposed to mass produced overseas, in unusual cuts rather than the standard cuts you usually see) and a really unique white topaz cut by Precisiongems and set                                                    by Knox Jewelers in Minneapolis.
The silver ring is Tiffany. Simple and nice. Platinum, or gold, with the words inside, would be even better.
Then stacks of Hidalgo rings. I think an enamel ring would make me nervous- it might chip. I have a pair of rings from the Hidalgo line for QVC. They are the most comfortable rings I have! Cheap too! (they are not enamel.)

Vacation ideas

 Because the Northwest is so cold gray and rainy all winter I crave the desert. South. California Arizona and Nevada. Palm trees and sultry warm air, neat little birds like quail and roadrunners....sunshine, pools...ahhhh.

I have been to Palm Springs, but ages ago. I went with my cousins and had a filet mignon. I've been to Calico. It was in the a.m. and so cold there was ice in the puddles.I have been to the donkey rescue- check out their site. They do such good work there.

I have not been to Scotty's Castle or the other places pictured here.Time to make travel plans. I need more sunshine than Washington state provides.

I wonder if the Mira Loma Hotel is still in PS? Looks fun.

So much to learn

So...like a gypsy consulting the cards I wonder how this is going to play out. I have a real interest in film and photography. But I also have a hobby of faceting gemstones. I've done graphic design, all kids of crafts....what calls to me is just living life. I can't say I want a career of any type.I don't think I ever did. I just want to do things my way and learn about myself and look around and see what the world is about and be with the people I care about, and my pets.
But if I've gotta make money...it has got to be at least a little interesting,right?

I am drawn to erotica because it seems so basic. But the more I look around at it the more I think I want to do something a little bit nicer than the mainstream stuff. Whats style will I choose? If I can get into this at all?

Musing about the past

FLW Storer House where Joel Silver used to live

Storer house interior...maybe TOO stark but I like this

Storer house pool

Interesting pots from ReForm School

Succulents are so LA.!

Great L.A. view,  lots of light

I love outdoor rooms

There is generally no point to thinking about the past. Remeber the good stuff, learn from mistakes, forget the junk. Yet today I was wondering how my life would be differet if my son had grown up in an airy, serene house..if he had had a proper playroom and nursery.Instead his childhood resembled a Walker Evans photo but less picturesque. Everything that has happened has brought me to this point so I can't complain. See? there really is no point in dwelling in the past. It can't be changed anyway. Remember the good stuff, learn, and go forward.

I really like Heywood Wakefield furniture

Mid-century modern. Study looking.

My favorite dining table and chairs. Heywood Wakefield

We didn't have sunny windowsills.

Or a garden.

Or time just to play and enjoy babyhood together

It was more like this. (Walker Evans photo)
