Read her article in the current issue of Juxtapoz. I will quote it later, but to sum it up, she has no problem painting beautiful women and is pretty fasinated by Hook muses. I get this from time to time, are you a lesbian? NAH! Not that I have anything against that, but people don't understand how girls can quite frankly be obsessed with other good looking girls. I mean who woulnd't want to look at these paintings? Her steez is off the charts. I love So-Cal girls. And she paints them perfect. A rare bread in this world us So-Cal girls.
So... I am no longer an X-Games Virgin peeps. This was my first X experience and let me tell you, this industry is where it is at. Extreme sports include skate, surf, moto, and a coupe other ways to tweak your body. Let me first also clarify that X-Treme sports are about being creative and winning. There really isn't that many sports where you can invent a new trick, and compete for money. These dudes get paid to make new tricks, straight up twist their bodies in directions that this world has never ever seen. And that is the truth. Danny Way's Mega Ramp! RADICAL! Moto Step Up The man Bob!
Andy Mac (is a really cool guy!)

Oh in case you forgot how hot Gena is, remind yourself right now.
Isla Vista On Board with Concept of Skate Park Discussion at a community workshop centers on location, with noise a concern and many supporting a downtown site.
Santa Barbara’s skate park, Skater’s Point, was designed by Mike Taylor, who is also working on the design for the Isla Vista park. (Lara Cooper / Noozhawk photo) By Lara Cooper, Noozhawk Staff Writer | Published on 07.23.2009
It’s a project that has been talked about for at least a decade, but after a public workshop Thursday night to explore the possibility of a skate park in Isla Vista’s Estero Park, it could be awhile before skaters see any ramps or halfpipes.
Of the several dozen people who gathered to contribute input, most liked the idea of a skate park. Just not in Estero Park. Or near their homes.
Noise seemed to be the dominant concern, and the idea of relocating the park to a downtown location was a key discussion point. In the end, the board unanimously voted to get more information on both sites and poll nearby downtown merchants. After that, the project will be brought back to the board for review.
Provisions for a skate park at Estero Park are included in several documents, including the Estero Master Plan, which was approved last year, and the Isla Vista Master Plan.
The Estero plan also provides for a basketball court, a soccer field and a community center. Carol Belser, general manager of the Isla Vista Recreation & Park District , said the cost of building the park would be about $595,000, but could run as high as $800,000, depending on the amenities, and would be paid for by Proposition 40 bond funds and fundraising.
The park in Santa Barbara is about 14,000 square feet and cost about $830,000 to build. Its designer, Mike Taylor, is also working to design the Isla Vista park and has spent several hundred hours working on this project, all free of charge to the district. Taylor, who was at Thursday’s meeting, said he had been to hundreds of skate park workshops and has designed just as many parks.
“The ‘not in my backyard’ people show up every time, and they usually have the same concerns,” he said. “And after the skate park goes in, they usually flip-flop and they see the skate parks as an asset.”
“The usage is through the roof,” he said of California’s many skate parks. “You live next to a park? Guess what? There’s going to be a soccer game, there’s going to be noise. Skateboarding noise isn’t any higher than the noise that’s already going on in the park.”
Belser cited a noise study during a presentation conducted by the Skatepark Association of America. Studies the organization conducted at a park in Santa Monica showed noise levels of 64 to 78, noise the study said would equate to “a conversation, a dishwasher or daily traffic,’” she said.
Trish McKenna, a landlord at the nearby Silverwood Apartments, said the owner of the building was concerned that he might lose renters because of noise complaints. “I am not against people who want to skate, but I think the downtown is a better location,” she said.
Both locations being considered, Estero Park and People’s and Perfect parks downtown, are owned by the park’s district, which helps considerably in the planning process, Belser said. “Location is key, and if we don’t get the location right, we’re going to be facing hurdles down the road,” she said.
Several people voiced concern that exploring a downtown location could set the project even further back. Taylor said it took 12 years to build the Santa Barbara skate park.
“My kids weren’t even born yet when we started, and they skated at the grand opening,” he said. “Don’t do that to these guys’ kids. They need it now.”
“I’ve been skating for many years, and have made many friends. That’s what these kids are looking for,” said Mike Pizano, a skater and Ellwood resident. “They need something here in Isla Vista.”
Board member Bruce Murdock said that of the 29 people who spoke, more people supported a downtown location, which he also agreed with. He suggested that the business tenants most likely would be in favor of the nearby park because it would increase foot traffic. “If I were a merchant, I’d say, ‘Yeah, bring it on,’” he said.
Board chairwoman Diane Conn said she liked Estero because it was in a location accessible to kids, and that “the noise is much less of an issue than people think.” But she also said that People’s Park is one of the most underutilized downtown parks.
“I’m not going to commit to a downtown site if it’s going to set us back, but if we can move forward in the same time frame, then I’m leaning for the downtown location,” she said. “I think it will be a more useful site.”
The board plans to revisit the issue at its August meeting.
Love this one. I have home girl's face (yes from the graphic above) on a table in my room that was hand crafted in Tucson. Love it. I mean it is almost Fiesta.

Reading a book. Yes it still happens after college. I try and make a point to have a new book every summer, just for the heck of it. This summer I am reading Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth. He previously wrote the Power Of Now.
I was recommended this book from a customer of mine, he used to work for the government and is a very educated individual who decided he made enough money and wanted to support his son's hobby, skateboarding... so he opened up a shop. Then I went into Borders and asked the chic where it was at... she had also read it so I was pretty convinced at this point to purchase it. I mean, as if Oprah's book club wasn't enough... ;)
I found this book in a time when I needed it most. I was getting super overwhelmed with people's ego's, as well as my own ego getting in the way of daily decisions and goals, dictating their actions, and me holding those ego actions against them as if it was something personal. I needed a deeper understanding of the mind, more psychology classes please. This book is an insightful look on the EGO, and Eckhart's definition of society's current state of mental dysfunction. Because things can not define a person, because things, as we are, can be replaced or die off. Things are impermanent. As life is.
Rachie and I ready to hit The Bowl in style! Check out our American Appy, Floral, Sexy fo leather, and our lil smiles! :)
GRINDING Santa Maria Tri- Tip SB locos
Very impressed with the recycling station set up. This was a special thing for the concert... They had a food waste bin, and lots of other properly categorized bins. GO GREEN good example lots of waste at shows ...
The Duke Spirit. First time seeing this band. I think the lead singer is British, either way I was pissed. Her outfit was So Gaga. Her pants were fly, the top not so much. I was diggin' the jams and fist pumping.
OMG you have a blog too!! Yippie more girlie bloggers in SB! Check out me and Rachel's fashion debut on SantaBarbaraStyles.com Saucy!
KilGar and Brandon Boyd- HOT
Rachie's bangs are bangin'
Yes. Seriously.
Well, if you didn't know already, Brandon Boyd is not only a musically talented hotty, but a raging fine artist. Pretty much why I am so down. Please check out some of his art pieces... I know you will dig. This has always been my favorite. Since high school.
Vampire fads. They come and go. The last time we had this big of a vampy faze was back in the 80's. Lost Boys came out and hooked me with their star Michael. Truth is, Michael was the innocent human who fell in love with the vampire Starr down at the beach. She was supposed to be his first...
His first what? FUCK!? LOL that is what they want you to think, but some how in every single vampire movie, they imply the kill or bite as some sort of sexual act. And it seems vampires have their own virginal code in terms of their first kill. Therefore your mind automatically makes the association between killing and sex. Weird right. But it makes sense!
Vampires are the one MONSTER AND KILLER that you can actually lust after, and sex is their super power. That is why we are all obsessed! They hypnotize you by placing a spell that makes you want to do it. They are the sexiest monster there is, and if you are like me, and you love horror, this is right up your ally.
Kiefer Sutherland is one of the best vampires of all time. Hands down, he is a mother fuckin bad ass.
"Maggots Michael, Maggots"
Jason Patric made me want to grow up and be 18 ya dig. Michael is also sporting oober hip shades in the Lost Boys Pic. He must have spoken to Mary Kate Olson. Trends always repeat themselves. A more modern approach to being hip. Ok. So this was the deal breaker. This movie transformed my vampire fascination to a whole different level. I think that for the first time, being a vampire wasn't about having sex with humans and going in for the kill, Interview With A Vampire was about the birth of a cold blooded killer and a life plagued with eternal time. How it all started. The beginning. Christ rising. Whatever you want to call it. This movie got back to the basics. The costumes were amazing, and you can't beat the cast. My favorite part of the whole movie was when Kristen Dunst cut her hair and it just kept growing. Her long blonde curls. That was the moment she realized she would live forever. Until the sun got to her. Still want this gold ring. I am claiming it now! So these previous vampire flicks have been AWESOME, this one, got me a little excited. But mostly just because I like POP culture and teeny bop shit as well. This was the most cheese ball part of the movie. Overall, got me all excited about vampire sex again.
My favorite TV series True Blood. It is legit. Mad sex. Mad killing. Creepy shit. Hot Babes. Watch the trailer. Just for kicks. Check the full article on Hipster Runoff
I loved this piece. The mouths are delicious. There are eyes at the top of the board but for some reason I was just too hypnotized by the lips to take a pic of the eyes. LOL
The rose is very well done. Dig it.
My favorite piece of the whole show. Can you guess why?
One of my all time favs of the show, the Mother Of Pearl octopus on a woodis. Wood boards are extremely popular right now in the surf industry, very contemporary if you ask me. The craft involved in creating this type of art piece is just amazing.
SEXY SKULLS
Original. I dig it. Modern too.
