Co-Co-Co-Controversial: “Turns out you gals are useful after all!”

You might say…. Outrageous! Sexist! Oh how far we’ve come along!…..

For war! Or just around the house…

Apparently smoke made us follow you anywhere.

But did you flip through this decade’s magazines? Or even last month’s magazine?…..

Progress? Not so much…

What thing did you need to remember? Or maybe just a picture to remind you…

car and sex controversial misogynistic ad

Or just simple and blunt in your face?

The pictures speak for themselves.

This is only a reminder, because we should already notice.

 Because it still exists.

This is a reminder, to remember that 1950 was just yesterday, and that we are still drinking the kool-aid today…

 By the way, did you pick last-moths Cosmo? Some great tips!

Sleep to Dream

sleep to dream

I found this great painting above “Sleep to Dream”,  by Stella Im Hultberg while looking up a link to send to Ms. Mensa. The link was of this kinda supa fly Lolita Rococo Necklace in pink I surprised her with the other day…

Lolita Necklace Ivory Pink

This piece is from the Couture by Lolita collection by Danielle Maree. She’s well known for her Lolita Skeleton Cameo.

According to her site,

each item is hand made with high quality cameos created in the USA with premium, raw, and antique materials. Meticulous in all their glory, each piece reflects a haunting beauty that provides a statement piece to any wardrobe.

None of that is real point, just the journey is sometimes fun to document. :] It was going to be just about this artist Stella Im Hultberg’s amazing sketchbooks. I really thought the drawings in the first one, 2010 Blue◾HandBook are amazingly fabulous, check them out for yourselves.

A Little Bit of Self Promotion Never Hurt Anyone

Mushpa y Mensa

We write a bunch of blog entries about this and that, but I want to focus a bit on our baby Mushpa y Mensa today. I am going to send out fantastically positive energy to everyone to want what we have to offer.

Listen, I want to make it, not just for us realize, but for all the other artists, inventors and nerds who desire their freedom from a job they’ve never really loved. For all those who want to believe that it is possible to be happy in what you do. I want us to be that example where people say, “See anyone can make it if they do the work and believe.” Seriously, that is all anyone needs to do and we will prove it!

Here is my shameless self promotion below.

Birthday Month

Jeffe

It’s my Birthday month. Yes, I said month. :] My actual birthday is February 13th for all of you that want to know. I prefer not to just focus on the one day, but I feel a whole month is more the way to go. I’m just saying.

Today, Mensa tells me to go and get something from another room and when I go in what is there but two balls of yarn, three pairs of gold sparkly clear knitting needles, and some candles with a bow on top (the cat we already had). This is what it is about really. These are the kind of things she does that helps me believe we will be successful in this endeavor or any others we choose to do.

I don’t know what I am going to make from this, but I promise to show you when I’m done.

“Mama Earth” Soon-to-be Design

SNEAK PEAK:

Starts with a mama and ends with a cure. Que es?! It’s one of our new crazy cool t-shirt designs! We have received our screen printing materials and are ready to star scanning some designs to begin the screen printing process.

image

Hey Mushpa. What do you think about posting soon a how-to introductory screen printing blurb? We want to make art accessible for people, so what do you think about posting  instructions on how to do it yourself? Although, disclaimer folks… it might not be as cheap as a pencil and paper, but it sure will be fun!

All done with much love,

-Mensa
