I’m on xoJane!

Yes I look like ashy Larry in this pic - OH WELL - I’m on xoJane! The shoot was so fun and really it was NEAT to even be asked (by my favorite editors at xoJane I might add). Here’s the actual article. 

sidenote: did you know Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love were featured on the cover of Jane Pratt’s Sassy Magazine back in the day (April ‘02)? Welp, that takes my geek-out factor to the next level w/ this experience!!

Had to share…back to work!

XOXOX,

Someone tell me again why?

Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino has a tumblr that usually acts as a way for folks to see where he might be in the world. Now it’s a place to find awesome Art, like the one featuring Biggie Smalls today. Can someone please tell me again why that might be the case? I’ll see what I can find.

Update 5/28

My only clue proved longer than my attention span, but I finally managed to read the entire letter from “Big Ghost” -hidden under the art-. He writes like a caricature of a Five Percenter and this note was as hard to read as Trainspotting. I think he said people are fighting a good fight and doing it for the kids (?) - but I have no idea who Big Ghost is. More to come there.

In the meantime I found a sweet song at the bottom of the page! Download it.

Update 5/28

Turns out Big Ghost has a blog and is hilarious. If this is just a way for Childish Gambino to release new tracks, well - I like it. 

XOXOX,

In the Autumn of 1923 Zelda was interviewed by a reporter from the Baltimore Sun. The public, he had told her, wanted to know if she was the heroine of Scott’s books. When the reporter arrived he found Zelda sitting far back in the plastic overstuffed chair in the living room of their Great Neck house. She told him this was her first interview and then called Scott to come help her. The reporter described Scott as he came into the room as tall, blond, and broad-shouldered, towering over his petite wife. They began to speak about three short stories that Zelda was writing. She said there were no typewriters in their house, for they both wrote their drafts in longhand. “I like to write. Do you know, I thought my husband should write a perfectly good ending to one of the tales, and he wouldn’t! He called them ‘lop-sided’ too! Said that they began at the end.” Then she interrupted herself to talk about Scott’s writing; her favorite short story of his was “The Offshore Pirate.” “I love Scott’s books and heroines. I like the ones that are like me! That’s why I love Rosalind in This Side of Paradise. You see, I always read everything he writes. It spoils the fun, the surprise, I mean, a bit….But Rosalind! I like girls like that….I like their courage, their recklessness, and spendthriftness. Rosalind was the original American flapper.”At this point in the interview Scott explained that Zelda’s youth was spent going to proms and living in Montgomery. “That’s a mighty long way from New York,” he added. The reporter asked him to describe his wife. “She is the most charming person in the world.” And, after receiving Zelda’s thanks, he continued: “That’s all. I refuse to amplify. Excepting - she’s perfect.”Zelda said, “But you don’t think that….You think I’m a lazy woman.”“No, I like it. I think you’re perfect. You’re always ready to listen to my manuscript, at any hour of the day or night. You’re charming — beautiful. You do, I believe, clean the ice-box once a week.”
