FactOTD: Carrots used to be PURPLE

Carrots used to be PURPLE, not orange! Orange carrots were first introduced by the Dutch in the 16th Century. http://bit.ly/bZ78SF

LOTD: from Google mail to Guthrie

I was reading email earlier and a sponsored link

It lead to this article on wired about Robin Guthrie, the founding member of the influential band, Cocteau Twins.

Last month, his new album, Carousel was released and you can grab it directly from his site. http://www.robinguthrie.com The article is a good read about how the times have changed and includes his thoughts on social networking.


As autumn weaves its way into reality here in Hollywood with its grey skies and cool breezes, it reminds me of 20 years earlier, listening to Cocteau Twins and other 4ad/ Beggars Banquet label artists while either on a long train ride or driving my jeep through the blankets of lightly moistened yellow, brown-red leaves throughout PA, NJ & NY. I can even smell the scent of rain and the dust of the trees in the air!

Now I am even more excited to be heading to the east coast in time for Halloween!
More on east coast performances and DJ gigs later. (hang w/ me in Albany on the 31st)

This link arrives from the pathway of Sarah Lane.

The next time you hear a film maker announce they will begin shooting in fifteen minutes it might look like some heat is about to occur!

LOTD: Star Wars vs Renaissance & Bday recap

I have been sitting on this link for some time.

1. I love Star Wars
2. I love art
3. I am a huge fan of juxtapositions
4. I love food. (it has no bearing on the top three but always worth a mention)

Enjoy the fusion of Star Wars and Renaissance art!

Thank you again to everyone for the very kind and (mostly) thoughtful birthday wishes on the 28th! I was able to bring the celebration to its peak with excellent friends and have some fantastic memories (and of course fine food)!

Table of Events which transpired:
Natural History Museum (with Butterfly exhibit)
Watts Tower (my second time there, google this!)
Moun Of Tunis Restaurant (25 of us in a private room and a strange belly dancer)
Kung Pao Kitty (rotation of some folks, larger crew, drinks & dance!)
Rooftop afterparty (this went late/"early", however I had Wednesday off)

If you have photos or video, apart from me attempting to bellydance, please send!

I have been hired to spin 80s, 90s and sexy music tonight at Medusa Lounge for Liquid City's SexyChic art & music event. This is NOT my event, but I do have a guest list.


Have a fantastic day!
