About Me |
|
| I am an artist, photographer, producer of art parties and curator of art and music. I grew up in Tampa, Florida and was always creative as a child. I was a painter for a long time, and always dreamed of a life in NY as a famous painter as a teen in the 80's, and becoming part of the "Factory" someday. After Warhol's death, and due to ongoing family battles, I briefly gave up on my dream and lost interest in painting, and got really into music and going to see bands, which was when I got very interested in photography. I started out shooting rock photos and developed into experimenting with more creative things using photography as an art medium. I got a solid foundation in photography there in Tampa, under the instruction of the best around, Suzanne Crosby. After she taught me all she could, believing in me, she wrote a letter of recommendation for me. After a portfolio day in Florida, I applied to the school that showed the most interest in my work- the School of Visual Arts in New York. There I was offered a Chairmen's Merit Scholarship for photography, which was a rare and huge honor (only 10 students per year were granted this award). I moved to NY within a couple of months with the money I made selling my work off the wall at the local coffee shop, and by cashing in my 401K from my receptionist job, with noplace to live, nowhere to work, and never having been to NYC. I didn't know anyone, I just went. It was the most frightening moment of my life, but also the most liberating and life-changing. I lived at the Gershwin Hotel for my first several months in NY. And that's when my life really began...
This is my personal profile for all my friends "IRL" and potential new friends. If you'd like to be considered for this "position", please send me a message THEN add me, don't just add me. And don't ask me to add you because you are too lazy to read my profile. the answers are all here. If you want to add me for networking purposes, that's fine, but please do it on my other profile here: www.myspace.com/bluegirlproductions! Thanks! If you want to add me but dont know me, it's pretty easy to find out my last name if you don't know it!! ;) (ahem! Look down there!! Derrr!) And, if I am not worth making an effort for, don't bother. You're not friendship material. I have higher standards than that. Love, bluegirl If you are a model who is interested in working with me, please be interested for the following reason: You love my art and want to be part of it. I don't pay. It's not because I don't think you deserve to get paid for your time, costumes, and effort but you ARE getting "paid". Just not with money. You are getting to be in a piece of art that I created (and chances are you will get more work after working with me, many of my models have told me they have, but still- besides the point). I worked hard and for many years to accomplish what I have. What I mean by that is not "who" I am according to how much money I make or how much press I've gotten (which is way more than the former, by the way, heh). But who I have evolved into as an artist. All of the education I've gotten (that I still pay for EVERY MONTH! Yeah, I got a scholarship, but I'm still paying for my school before that! And, the scholarship didn't cover everything either!) and more notably, all of my experience is what I am talking about. That takes time. You can't buy that. Not to mention my creativity that I was blessed with... that can't even be learned. All the $$ I put into quality makeup and sets and equipment is beside the point. I find it extremely disrespectful that a MODEL who has had no training, and paid nothing to LEARN anything, merely USES me for her vanity's sake so she can show off on My Space or wherever and show the world how pretty or "cool" she is. If you AREN'T "that" model, of you are truly interested in being my muse and creating ART with me, please feel free to contact me. I don't mean for this to sound disrespectful in any way. I appreciate my models so much. Without them, I would be nothing. I couldn't make art without models. And I know that modeling is hard work and costs money, and it takes a certain talent too. I realize and respect that. But if you plan on just making MY art into your own version of what you think it should be, then do me a favor and don't bother contacting me- EVER. Or if you plan on not sticking to our deal, or complaining about it later, get over yourself - just leave me alone and don't waste my time. I don't deserve to be disrespected that way and I don't want your energy around me. If you are a TRUE MUSE who loves art, and loves and respects creation, and respects the artist, please do contact me, I want to meet you. And I shall respect you too...

I'd like to meet:Fun, honest, QUALITY new friends to do fun things with such as go dancing, to concerts, clubbing, fancy dinners, the movies, and who wants to play dress up, listen to records, go to art galleries, museums and art shows, and who has similar interests/music tastes as me. Also: Artists. Amazing Creatures. Walking art. Nick Rhodes, again. Gerard Malanga. Mount Sims. Warhol Superstars (have already met/know 3!). dandies. Other art freaks/chic freaks. Kiefer Sutherland, again.In the Afterlife...(Film by Anton Perich, Photo by me at my party in East Village, NYC, "All Tomorrow's Parties" via projection) Also this guy, if I haven't already... The Invitation It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.” It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments. -Oriah Mountain Dreamer © Mountaindreaming, from the book The Invitation published by HarperSanFrancisco, 1999 All rights reserved |
