the white lighter

Admittedly, this blog and its maintainer have eclectic tastes. "Eclectic," as you might suspect, is a nice way of saying that there is very little intertwining theme to any of this. If you end up liking some (or most) of the things I like, you might find that wondrous.

In less subtle language, a few of the things you might see here: coffee/barista nerdery, androgyny and gender-fucking, gender studies in general, feminist theory, sex-positive imagery, fat people, photography and art of varying medium and subject, cat-related anything as well as my own feline friend, owls, tattoos, self-portraiture, nakedness, intermittent music of the people I love, writing, books, flea markets and thrift stores, Frida Kahlo, Patti Smith, anything related to my city of Philadelphia, me attempting to be less racist, and the sporadic, enjoyable internet meme I cannot resist. But I'll try to keep that last one to a minimum.

I seek to post only items which are credited to the originator, be it fine art, photography, tattoos, or writing. If you see something uncredited, do feel free to point it out to me. Also: ask anything. Call me out if I fuck up. Give props if you feel like it. Ask questions. I like internet interaction.

Looks like a live-action photograph of Lina by Angelique Houtkamp?

Someday perhaps I will get a tattoo from this lady.

I Got this tattoo Representing Edith Piaf. Her Little hair and head on a body of a bird. because “Piaf” Means Little sparrow. I Found this picture while looking thought Google images and it was set in stone that i would get this tattoo for her. 

Honestly i fell in love with this woman when i saw a movie based on her life”La Vie En Rose”. How can someone go through so much tragedy and still have the energy to only want to please her fans and audience. She Captured my heart! so i wanted to dedicate This to her.

It’d be really awesome if you gave credit to the woman who originally created that image of Edith as a little bird, Angelique Houtkamp. It wasn’t simply a tattoo she sketched up and discarded; that image is a painting she created and displays as part of her portfolio. There are prints of it for sale here. She’s a fantastic artist, so it’d be badass (and appropriate, no?) if she got some credit for her hard work.
