<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Every year, right after Easter, animal shelters get bunnies that were purchased as gifts.

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Disclaimer: My experience with the <a href="https://suicidegirls.com/" target="_blank">Suicide Girls</a> is solely in the form of screensavers on my husband's computer but they refresh every hour so I feel like I have a pretty good handle on what they're all about. <b>Edgy. Tattoos. Creative photo shoots. Nerdy stuff. Real women. Real bodies. Alternative Pinups. </b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At least that was my impression before attending their "burlesque" show in Seattle at El Corazon recently. And yes, <b>I meant to put burlesque in double quotes</b>. They should have too. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">First, let me tell you the things I liked about the show: </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There. With that out of the way, let's get to <b>my complaints</b>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1. The tickets were $20 each with a $7.50 convenience fee. <b>Fuck convenience fees</b>. That's almost 50% of the ticket price. Stupid.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2. The tickets said the doors opened at 8pm and the show started at 8:15. I guess if you count the fact that there was a DJ on stage from 8:15 - 9:15 you could argue that it did start on time. If you don't count the DJ, then <b>the show started at least an hour late</b>. I don't know if you can tell, but I don't count the DJ.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">3. The venue. El Corazon is quite possibly the worst place to see a burlesque show. There are two levels so only the people in the very front of each level could see anything on the stage. <b>People were literally yelling, "We can't see anything!" for the first part of the show until they gave up and left</b>. It was packed shoulder to shoulder until intermission. Then, suddenly it was super easy to walk around. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">4. I won't even comment on the <b>fake British accents</b>. Or the fact that <b>they made fun of traditional burlesque</b> at the opening of the show. All I could see from my vantage point was a lady stumbling around the stage pretending that she had feathers from a boa stuck in her mouth. Yeah. That's what real burlesque is like. Sure...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">5. I will comment on the 10 minute long social networking commercial the host did. <b>She named off all of their social networks and asked everyone where they heard about the show</b>. This isn't the time or place for market research. Ask people those questions on the form when they buy their tickets. We've already been waiting over an hour for the show. C'mon. <br /><br />They also encouraged everyone to take pictures and tape the whole show to post online. This proved to be a good thing only because <b>watching the show through the iPhones people were holding up was the only way to see anything on the stage</b>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">6. Their version of "burlesque" involved jumping around the stage in unison. No tease. No story. Basically <b>just stripping but with tape over their nipples</b>.<br /><br />Honestly, they seemed confused about the concept in general as most of the acts started off with a woman or a group of women coming on stage in their underpants. Don't you have to take something off? No? You'll just start that way? Okay. I guess. If that's easier. <br /><br />The show was billed as "nerdy" and they say in the advertising that the acts will poke fun at nerdy things like: Game of Thrones, Dr. Who, Kill Bill & Planet of the Apes. <br /><br />I've seen several of <a href="http://jojostiletto.com/" target="_blank">Jo Jo Stiletto</a>'s shows including: <a href="http://jojostiletto.com/ai1ec_event/whedonesque-burlesque-2-4/?instance_id" target="_blank">Whedonesque Burlesque</a> & <a href="http://jojostiletto.com/ai1ec_event/burl-x-files-3/?instance_id" target="_blank">The Burl-X-Files</a>. I was expecting at least that level of performance -- but with the production value of a wealthy company that can afford to buy awesome props. <br /><br />I guess they did wear ape heads for the Planet of the Apes number. And one of them did rub real cake on her tits during the Portal number. Maybe there were some really awesome things in the second half of the show. <b>I wouldn't know. I left.</b> <br /><br />The acts that did verge on nerdy themes didn't involve any creativity. They just bounced up and down to a song that related to whatever nerdy thing they were pretending to be into.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">7. I'm not sure if they had any tattoos. I couldn't see. But <b>several people around me commented on the lack of tattoos</b>. That's pretty much their trademark and what people have come to associate with their brand. Why no tattoos? My guess: Those girls are too cool to want to participate in this cash grab of a show. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">8. The host interviewed different people involved with the show between the acts. Well, by interviewed, I mean that they brought the merch person on stage to talk about all the stuff you could buy. And then another girl - who I think was one of the dancers - who didn't even talk into the microphone. Thrilling. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">9.<b> One of the women licked the pole on stage. At El Corazon.</b> Licked it. I hope she's okay. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">10. There was a couple - both wearing backpacks standing right in front of me. One of them was a woman who had obviously taken way too many drugs and was just randomly punching in the air -- or the people around her. Granted, Suicide Girls had nothing to do with her being there -- but since I'm complaining I'm not going to let her slide. At least take off your backpack. Right? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That's my review on the Suicide Girls Blackheart Burlesque show. Knowing what I know now - there's no way in hell I would have bought tickets. And honestly, I've lost respect for a brand that I previously thought was empowering. In short: Hated it. </span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05091511341761293939noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773745495682976010.post-36012830852769469552013-08-08T13:37:00.002-07:002013-08-08T13:37:23.940-07:00What I'm Reading: Grow Your Handmade Business<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://karichapin.com/" target="_blank">Kari Chapin</a> and I have been pen pals for years. I don't really remember how it began. I constantly try to pressure almost everyone I meet into sending me things in the mail so I imagine I was the one to propose the pen pal relationship scenario. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I love mail.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Kari is extremely funny and also a best selling author. Her book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1603424776/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1603424776&linkCode=as2&tag=unanicraft-20" target="_blank">The Handmade Marketplace</a>, is considered the indie craft business bible for people starting out on their journey. I'm a little behind the times and am just getting around to reading her second book: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1603429891/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1603429891&linkCode=as2&tag=unanicraft-20" target="_blank">Grow Your Handmade Business</a> now. I bought a copy at the last <a href="http://urbancraftuprising.com/" target="_blank">Urban Craft Uprising</a> show. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The best part about buying a book directly from the author is that you can make them uncomfortable by asking them to write crazy things in your book. It's one of my favorite things ever. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Kari also had these cute notepads at the event and I scored one. I've been writing messages to myself on it ever since. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What I've learned: I do nothing quickly but I would like to do a lot of things. Or rather - I would like to have a lot of things done. Not by me. Maybe by a nice fairy or something. Someone else. Someone good at stuff who is also really focused. </span></span><br />

It's true. I embroider while I watch movies. I embroider in the car. I embroider while I work at the store. I love to embroider. Every pillow case in our house is covered with embroidery. Sometimes I use a pattern and other times I just doodle. I love it. I'm obsessed.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So I was touched when <a href="http://urbancraftuprising.com/" target="_blank">Urban Craft Uprising</a> asked me to do an embroidery demo at the most recent show. I decided to do a very low stress demo that would get people started on a project in an hour -- and give them all the supplies they would need to finish it off at home. I called it : <b>Beginning Embroidery for the Timid and Fearful</b>. Everyone who attended got a second-hand pillowcase with a Sublime Stitching pattern already ironed on, a hoop, a needle and some floss. I used pillowcases so that it wouldn't matter what the back of the project looked like when they were done. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'll be teaching another class shortly at my shop in the Pike Place Market, <a href="http://uglybabyandlaru.com/" target="_blank">Ugly Baby and La Ru</a>. We also carry Sublime Stitching embroidery supplies at the shop. If you're obsessed -- come visit. </span></span><br />

We are partnering with several local crafty groups: <a href="http://www.etsyrain.com/" target="_blank">EtsyRAIN</a>, <a href="http://www.unanimouscraft.com/" target="_blank">Unanimous Craft</a> and <a href="http://www.schoolhousecraft.com/" target="_blank">School House Craft</a>. <a href="http://www.uglybabyandlaru.com/" target="_blank">Ugly Baby and La Ru</a>, our new shop in the Pike Place Market will be home base. From there, people can use some of the 500 PIECES OF SIDEWALK CHALK to chalk the sidewalk up and down Western Ave. Hot damn!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.etsyrain.com/" target="_blank">EtsyRAIN</a>, one of our co-producers, will be setting up a tent where people can decorate tiny chalkboards, write a message on them and then hide them in the downtown area. It's fun to make a little magic appear in people's lives and we think teeny chalkboards will do just that. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's true.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My throat is all swollen and I feel weak and terrible.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's not being sick and feeling bad that gets me down though. When I'm sick, all I can think about are <b>all the things I need to get done and how much time I'm wasting</b> by not having any energy. You'd think that would inspire me to take better care of myself... but it doesn't. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Basically, I'm an idiot.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I should <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/130118773/1911-bizarre-anatomy-print-mouth-throat" target="_blank">buy this tonsil print on Etsy</a> to remind me to drink more water and be a good person and stuff. Do you think it would work? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">How long, after purchasing this print, do you think it would take me to frame it and hang it up on the wall? I'm guessing 18 months. Anyone care to make a wager? </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We live in a time where graffiti artists can have Etsy shops. The rest of this post should go something like this, </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"In my day..."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Back when I was your age..."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Something, something, up hill both ways..."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Something, something, youngster..."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm old. I get it. I fell down and broke my ankle instead of popping back up like a string bean wearing a halter top. I get it.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I didn't realize I was so old that graffiti artists could have Etsy shops. That's new. It's sending me into a mid-life crisis. And not just because Netflix created a category for me called "Mid-Life Crisis Movies." It's more than that. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have to say - I have a huge crush on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Starheadboy" target="_blank">starheadboy's</a> work. He has a unicorn combined with a burrito character. That should be all I have to say to win you over. </span></div>

If my broken ankle heals in time (translation = by June 20th), Doug and I will both be heading to <b>Brooklyn, NY</b> for Renegade. <br /><br />If the ankle isn't in good working condition by then, Doug will have to make the trek all alone. Keep your fingers crossed for us. <br /><br />Brooklyn requires a lot of walking. Plus, our awesome friend who offered to let us stay with her lives in <b>a walk up on the fourth floor</b>. That will be almost impossible on crutches. EEeeeeeeeeeeek!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Regardless of who is manning the booth - if you're in Brooklyn on the weekend of 6/23 and 6/24, please stop by and say hello. You'll get to <b>see <a href="http://www.showerart.net/" target="_blank">Shower Art</a> in person</b> - along with 300 other amazing indie crafters. It'll be worth it. </div>

It rained hard. And it's an outdoor show. And it was my birthday. And I still had a fantastic time. (Crafty Bastards rules that much - for the record). </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While we were in town, we stumbled across a cool art gallery in an alley called <a href="http://www.thefridgedc.com/" target="_blank">The Fridge</a>. I took a few pictures of the murals on the building - and on some boarded up buildings leading up to it. </span><br />

We start getting ready earlier and earlier every year -- and it STILL always takes us by surprise. Sigh. <br />
<br />
<b>We have two new products to introduce this year: </b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/UglyBaby?section_id=10681173">T-Shirts</a>! Oh yeah baby. We turned a popular Shower Art piece into a concept for a t-shirt with the help of Barry Blankenship. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/UglyBaby?section_id=10613924">Soap Dishes</a>! We got tired of people always asking, "So this is <a href="http://www.showerart.net/">Shower Art</a>? But what do you DO with it?" Ummmmmm.... NOTHING. You just look at it. Like you do with other art. (I have a bad attitude - that's why Doug does most of the customer service). Now you can have Shower Art in the shape of a functional soap dish. Yes, yes you can.<br />
<br />
<b>This year we are participating in three shows: </b><br />
