National Cleavage Day?

National Cleavage Day? 

I'm not really even sure whether this post in all that necessary. Pirates and cleavage, kinda go hand in hand... Oops! did that sound dirty?

Well, I must say cleavage is kinda what we all enjoy about looking at the female human form. It's nice.

However, some folks take their enjoyment too far, and my inbox on much social media indicates this far too much.

Of course, it's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt...

Anyways, much of my cosplay photos have photos of pretty much all of me, not just my chest. I mostly stopped having photos of myself on facebook with cleavage because some men out there can't understand boundaries, or that a human being with cleavage is also still a human being with thoughts, feelings, etc, let alone even a person.

I'm also not feeling well at all this week. I was sick most of the winter and was feeling better this month until last weekend, when everyone caught some kind of weird virus, like a very bad cold, or something... I hardly feel sexy at all. I feel tired.

But, I'm sure if appreciating the visual beauty of the female form, such as mine, is appealing to you, you of course can search this entire blog, and my Flickr gallery.

I am not, however, a prostitute, and I'm not looking for hook-ups, or lovers, or side pieces. I'm not even single. I'm an artist, like many, many other artists whom are women.

All of the stuff you see here on this blog, and several others, are just other variations of my artistic expressions, of which I am capable of much. This is ART. It's not real. I'm not actually a Pirate. It's cosplay. So, keep that in mind.

The Laws of God, The Laws of Man [Poem] By A. E. Housman

The Laws of God, The Laws of Man

by A. E. Housman (1859-1936)

" I, a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made."

  Weird cryptic, macabre, Edwardian/Victorian poetry....

The laws of God, the laws of man,
He may keep that will and can;
Not I: let God and man decree
Laws for themselves and not for me;
And if my ways are not as theirs
Let them mind their own affairs.
Their deeds I judge and much condemn,
Yet when did I make laws for them?
Please yourselves, say I, and they
Need only look the other way.
But no, they will not; they must still
Wrest their neighbor to their will,
And make me dance as they desire
With jail and gallows and hell-fire.
And how am I to face the odds
Of man’s bedevilment and God’s?
I, a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made.
They will be master, right or wrong;
Though both are foolish, both are strong.
And since, my soul, we cannot fly
To Saturn nor to Mercury,
Keep we must, if keep we can,
These foreign laws of God and man.

New Sakura Design For Spring!

Well, here's my newest design for this blog! 

Kinda ended up looking all rainbow-spiffy completely by accident! I like it! 

Check out the old school cheesy GIF banner I did! That's about as good as I can get it with my limited resources... But, I'm kinda into the whole Zen of The 'Persian Flaw' sorta thing, anyway...

The Hokey Pokey by Jeff Brechlin in the Style of William Shakespeare (meme)

The Hokey Pokey by Jeff Brechlin in the Style of William Shakespeare

This poem of sorts be from the Washington Post Style Invitational contest which asked their readers to submit "instructions" for something (anything), yet to be written in the style o' a famous person.
The winning entry was the following: The Hokey Pokey (as written by William Shakespeare).


O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke,
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from Heavens yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke — banish now thy doubt
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.
        — by "William Shakespeare"

Disclaimer: Hopefully, to the best of my current knowledge I've cited & credited the sources of these. If there are any inaccuracies, please comment them below.
Despite the popular meme trends of the Hokey Pokey Shakespeare meme of this poem, to my knowledge this was NOT written by William Shakespeare, but Jeff Brechlin for a contest in the Washington Post. 
If I have reported this incorrectly, I apologize. To my knowledge/research this seems to be the case.
I believe firmly in citing & crediting where it is due, and have not intentionally tried to commit any sort of wrong doing, nor ill will of either party mentioned. 
I merely liked the witty, quirky, creativity of the composition, and wished to share it.
