We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are.
- Anais Nin


COFFEE, CAMERA, GLAMOUR + GORE
I have a man's taste in women and a woman's taste in men. I live in an old apartment with my husband and soul-twin D (aka ~Fourthletter) and our two kitty-monsters. I have lots of piercings and tattoos, a small car with purple wheels and a serious coffee addiction. I love Urban Decay eye make-up, silver nail polish and disturbing films. I hate social drama, dishonesty and the fact that all pre-packed sandwiches seem to come with tomato by default.

I've been on dA since 2005 and a senior member since 2007. I was the Volunteer Gallery Moderator (part of the Community Relations team) for Horror & Macabre Photography for a year and a half, handing over to ^pullingcandy in July 2010. I currently run #FrightClub and #VanityTheory, blog for #fella and admin at #ItDoesNotHaveMe and #Deviant-Beauties.

Points gathered here will go towards prizes for #FrightClub and #VanityTheory, plus the occasional little mini-contest/event, thanky donatey miscellaneous goodness and other lovely things.

Donations are gratefully received and kindly appreciated but never expected. I tend to buy Points for giving rather than rely on others for them but your support means a lot to me and all the Points I gather here are given back to the dA community. Thank you!

The amount of 1,000 points is an arbitrary number pulled out of thin air/the ground/the back of my brain cause there was a box that asked for a number and I never say no to a box asking for something.

Reasons I'm happy

Journal Entry: Wed May 9, 2012, 3:08 PM

Beltane was fucking awesome. Even though my natural state of being is to be dragged kicking and screaming into Summer, Beltane Fire Festival somehow manages to make even a hardcore Winter person like me happy to see the sun. I'm still recovering from the night and feeling a little bit empty now that it's over but the happy afterglow of loveliness makes up for all the tireds. If you want to see what went on, check out the Beltane Fire Society blog.

My best friend is getting married!  She and her gorgeous girlfriend will be tying the knot on Saturday and even though I have a strict no-wedding-photography policy, I'll happily be violating it for them. They said they didn't want regular wedding photography photos, which suits me fine. Plus, I'll be spending the weekend in an epic spa hotel in the country wearing pretty dresses and lounging around drinking coctails, which is always good.

I saw the Avengers and it was amazing.  Best Hulk ever, Robert Downey Jnr being gorgeous and Scarlet Johansson in very tight clothes...wonderfulness in the extreme. Plus, Joss Whedon did an epic job. Happy Tanya is happy.

Planning ahead...Summer Solstice camping trip is go!  I know it's over a month away but it's nice to have this stuff to look forward to. Forest and barbeque and yummy people. And, if the weather is decent, swimming in the reservoir with the fishies. Fun times.


Smile! Here are long-haired mens...
