Ball Joint Dolls

Day late...oops.

But I've decided to do two photo feature posts a week.


TODAY'S IS ON BALL JOINT DOLLS =D

This is one of my dolls. Her name is Adeline. She is about 45 cm tall; this size is the 'mini' size.

This is my other doll, Ayashii. He's a boy. Shut up. He's also a mini. The price range for this size goes from $250-$400.

There are all different sizes. This one is a 'tiny'. These, of course, tend to be cheaper.

The last size is the largest, they're 60-70 cm and the most expensive. This size (large) goes from $500-$800.

Why spend so much money on them? Well, multiple reasons.

Some people want to bring their story characters into three dimensions.

Some people (like me) love how BJDs are so photogenic.

And some people want to brush up on their sewing skills.

BJDs can be customized however you want. You can change their hair, eyes, makeup, gender, clothes, and body parts.

For more info about dolls, DenOfAngels is a GREAT website for all your doll needs.

Consuming >:D

Today, my headphones broke.
My second pair of $30 Skullcandy low riders broke.
I used to have earbuds, but GUESS WHAT, those broke too.
And my first pair of low riders....I stepped on.

Why am I complaining?
Its not because I have no fucking clue what to write about today, but because consumers buy things because they look good. So, Skullcandies are some of the coolest looking headphones around, but when it comes to quality, they're HORRIBLE! One of my teachers said that America is like the 'shiny object' country. We tend to change obsessions quickly and look at whatever is most interesting. Like pop culture. That's why rags like People are getting so much money; people want to hear about Brangelina and Brittany in rehab again. Not only do we love pop culture, we love to buy things. People will go out and buy a $300 iPod Touch and then the 'new and improved' version comes out...uh oh, got to go buy that one too. Its so easy to make tons of money with technology now. Just come up with a new version of your last product. People will buy it. I'm not saying I shy away from these things (although I don't read pop culture magazines), I like to hear about the hilarious photos the paparatzi caught, I also like to know about the latest version of *insert product here*. I don't stay up to date, but every now and then its good to solve my boredom.
Moral of the ranting blog post: don't buy Skullcandies.

DEATHROCK FEATURE TIME.

Since I love art, its only natural that I put some throughout this blog.

So, I've decided every Wednesday is going to be a photo feature day with whatever theme I feel like. So, today...hmm.
I'm thinking some deathrock pictures.
DEATHROCK? WHAT IS THAT? SOUNDS SATANIC.
Hahaha, well along with the pictures I'll give some little tidbits and history on the genre.

The term 'deathrock' (also death punk, but that doesn't sound as scary) started in the 1950's to describe rock and roll music about morbid things. Like the Monster Mash...

No, this isn't a band, but its a great example of deathrock fashion.

You can probably spot a deathrocker from miles away. Leather, fishnets, black, skulls, and massive amounts of hair spray and makeup is hard to miss.

THE MISFITS. They're one of the most influential bands in this genre. EVERY SINGLE PERSON who considers themselves a deathrocker listens to the Misfits. They started the whole shock rock and horror rock starting in the late 70's.

The deathhawk. Its the most common hairstyle among deathrockers. Its like a Mohawk, except thicker and usually buzzed sides and messier hair and its usually worn down.

Deathrock wasn't only influenced by horror and vintage goths, there is also elemnts of caberet, some religious icons, and many books and films.

And we're done =D. More amazing deathrocky-y-ness at deathrock.com

Horror Movies

You know what sucks?
Horror movies these days. The most recent one that I actually liked is Saw Five. I love the saw series o_O. But really, there haven't been any good ones out. My Bloody Valentine, I didn't see just because its in 3D; that kind of ruined it for me. Honestly, I don't want axes coming out at me and 3D is dizzying. The Unborn....WHAT A STUPID IDEA. They pretty much stole every other demon baby movie's idea and just made the kid unborn. The Uninvited I heard was actually pretty good, but I haven't seen it yet. It looks kind of overboard-cheesy.
But all the really good horror movies are old. Killer Klowns from Outer Space, for example. That movie, ahahahahahahaha. Its so bad its hilarious. I love it. Rosemary's Baby; oh MY. That movie is really scary. Its also really fucking racist and sexist. Eh, back in the old days....haha.
That kind of brings me to a new point...GIRLS IN HORROR MOVIES. I don't consider myself a feminist, but sometimes horror movies go to far. Like Hostel. The plot is fantastic, but the movie is ruined by all the naked people fucking. The entire movie is based off of guys who think with their dicks rather than their brain. So many horror movies are geared towards horny guys, its kind of sad. I don't know if I'd consider House of 1000 Corpses going to far, with Baby and all. But she barely wears any cloths the entire movie. At some points its like 'um, okay we get it, you're hot, now go put on cloths'. And there was this other movie I saw on Sci-Fi, but I forgot the name. Tons of naked people (edited out since it was on TV) and a bunch of horny people at a rave. They were on an island and then people attacked....help me with the name '-_-.
But yeah, no matter what, horror will always be my favourite type of movie. Blood, blood, and more blood. Now that's what I'm talking about.

Sorry D=

Okay, so I'm copping out.
I'm so tired.
I have exams soon and track practice all week. And today was really hard.
So I'm just going to put in a short little thing I wrote a few days ago.
-
Goodbye sky, goodbye day.
Hello darkness, hello moon.
Goodbye sun, I'll see you soon

Pathetic sorry...

Thank You Twilight.

Read this.

Go on.


Finished? There are many things wrong with this link. One: a website dedicated to Twilight hating; holy hell people, get a life. Two: the sad thing is, although this is most likely a fake story, I wouldn't be surprised if there were actually physical fights over Twilight, which is sad
I think a rant is in order. WHAT THE FUCK. Twilight sucks. Actually, end of story. If I needed to actually prove myself, then I'd make people read the damned series.. I don't need to make points that have already been proven, so my post is finished.

Stupid post.

So, I love the website LOOKBOOK.
Just putting that out there.

I don't know what to write about...ahh!

I'm just going to list my favourite movies:
Donnie Darko I think is my ULTIMATE favourite movie ever. Its so original and just...crazy. The plot is great and the romance doesn't kill the entire movie, which happens sometimes.
I also love Eraserhead. That movie...HOLY FUCK. David Lynch is my favourite director, by far. I have yet to actually see any of his other movies, but his shorts are fantastic.
THE. SAW. MOVIES. They aren't overrated, so shut up. The plot is crazy and keeps people (well me at least) interested. And I don't think the blood is 'too much'. THERE IS NO SUCH THING!
Rob Zombie actually did some good movies too; Like House of 1000 Corpses and the sequel to that, Devil's Rejects. House of 1000 is pure insanity and horror; yes please. And Devil's Rejects shows that the characters are actually human and not just crazy killers. Love love love =D. Its also clever how the tables are turned and the police man goes crazy, very clever.
And, getting out of the horror realm, Slumdog Millionaire is...wow, just wow. Visually, its stunning and the past and present flow together perfectly. After seeing it, that movie became one of my top ten favourites.
Other non-horror movies...let's go with some oldies!
Labyrinth, of course. David Bowie...mm mm mm! Hehe.
Corpse Bride is a good movie. I love the visual aspect a bit more than the plot, but I'm still willing to watch that movie over and over again.
Alice in Wonderland. Yes, its ridiculously overrated, but STILL! Its pretty to look at and the plot is...scary to say the least. And I love the music. <3

Oxy Moron blogpost =D

So, to make this boring blog a little less boring (because I love paradoxical things) I'm going to include the following things whenever I update:
A song of the day.
Today's song is Snuff by Slipknot
A photo of the day.
I'm a bitch, so I'm going to do one of my own (but I usually won't do this): Held Down
A drawing of the day (which I'll most likely get from deviantART.com.)

And, a quote of the day.
“This nation has still not come to grips with its racial past,” said by Eric Holder, of course.

So yeah, look forward to that. And I might add more things if I think of them.

You cowards!

I happen to love the new attorny general.
THANK YOU FOR REALIZING THE RACE PROBLEM.
Holy fuck people, Obama is not the racism band aid! Seriously? Eric Holder is spot on. America is a nation of pants-wetting cowards when it comes to race and religion and the like. I find it sad that people are like 'yay! black president equals no more racism!' Yeah, um, right. If November fourth ended all racism then there would be no plans to kill the president, no KKK, and certainly no accurate polls that show black people have it harder than white people.
FOR EXAMPLE:
More black people live in the inner city than in the suburbs.
Black people are more effected by the recession.
And there are still close-minded backward folk who think black people are fucking slaves.
YES! RACISM IS OVER. Fuck you guys. "Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and we, I believe continue to be in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards."
Thank. You.
How can people think that the race problem is over when middle-eastern looking people are getting 'random bag checks' in airports. Or when a totally innocent black guy gets pulled over by a police man. Oh, man, how about those stereotypes, too! Okay, yeah, America has taken a huge step forward in this department with Obama and Holder and such; but we're NOT FINISHED. It doesn't take a day, or one person, or even a group of a few people to change the fact that America is still racist.

Well hello there.

I've been planning on doing this for a long time.
This will be my blog that I (hopefully) update daily. It's not really about anything...whatever I feel like writing about I'm going to; I've forgotten my social graces and anything politically correct.
Sorry.
This is a little bit about me, so you can get an idea of my blog:
I enjoy listening to music that others consider noise.
I watch too many horror movies.
I'm a work-in-progress photographer but I love all art.
I like fashion. A lot.
I'm kind of maybe just a little bit controversial.
I'm bored unless there is some type of drama happening in my life.
I don't really care if I offend people.
And I love anything crazy weird.

Woooooooo. Let the blogging begin.
=D
