My circus freak items I adore

I am addicted to this store called The Evolution Store in Soho NY. they have the coolest things from real human bones to taxidermy animals and insect candy.

These are the two candles I bought from their website ..... Brain in a jar and twins in a jar

This is how they look in my room .... I'm not going to burn them they were kind of expensive ...

but they do have Brain soaps that I want to get for my bathroom :)

another website that sells these candles is The Gemini Company they also have cool strange stuff

So if you like old vintage circus stuff or side show freak things for your house I recommend checking these stores out..... I even like the old circus jacket look !

My nail polish of 2011

Remember Uma Thurman in the 1994 movie Pulp Fiction? Well if you look at her nails she is wearing Chanel VAMP nail color. Chanel Vamp  was created in 1994 .... to look like dried blood and I remember buying this color back in 2001! I still have my old bottle of it! Well on December 26th I went to the Chanel counter and bought a new bottle of VAMP #18 and now it's my color for the year 2011 :) and I LOVE it! Last year my nail color was O.P.I.'s Lincoln Park After Dark but I had to retire that color. The only negative about Vamp is that it cost $23.00 a bottle ... BOO! But I love it!!!!

                                          So what nail color are you gonna be wearing in 2011 ?

                                                                          So Be It                                                                              JAR

Anna Sui's NY apartment is really cool

Fashion designer Anna Sui has been one of my all time favorites. I collect all her perfume bottles and even her make-up ..... now if only I could afford her clothing! I did stock up on her Target collection and I love to wear her finger nail polish :) I even stocked up on her lingerie line she had at Victoria Secrets not too long ago! Anna Sui's store in NY is really cool as via the YouTube video I just posted but lets look inside her apartment!

                         I LOVE Anna Sui's style and now lets take one more look at her store

and this is why I love Anna Sui ..... she also has a new book out and I am saving every penny to buy it ASAP!


                                                                LOVE YA!
                                                             so be it ..... JAR

Amazing Art Work from my brother Billy

I love my older brother Billy .... he was born in Oct. 1975 and I was born in Jan. 1978, so we were very close growing up.I have looked up to him as an artist ever since we were little. When we were young he would sit and teach me how to color in my coloring book, but I was always jealous of his work in his coloring book. So I just wanted to show some of his doodles since he doesn't have enough time to ever complete a piece of art... but he should because he is Billy Rivas and he is AMAZING !!!! Love Ya!
