The White Rabbit came again...

And again I was asleep, why can't it snow while I'm awake? Oh well, any day where the snow actually stays long enough for me to capture a photo of it is a good day to me. I'd just really enjoy a day where it snowed continuously throughout the day. Also, what a nice gift after Valentines day.

Wayward Victorian Girls

So last night a couple of friends and myself went to see Emilie Autumn at Launchpad. It was my first concert so I really didn't know what to expect. The stage was quite small but the upside was that it gave an intimate atmosphere. Emilie sounded great, even better than her recordings. She was there with three of her bloody crumpets, Naughty Veronica, Captain Maggot, and Blessed Contessa.

Blessed Contessa, February 2012

They performed 4 O' clock, Art of Suicide, God Help Me, in which they had "tea time" and threw tea and pastries at the audience, I Know Where You Sleep, Dominant in which Naughty Veronica performed a burlesque-type dance with ostrich feather fans,  Let The Record Show, and Emilie gave us an encore "only because you know french" of thank God I'm Pretty. They also performed a couple new songs such as F.L.A.G., threw fire, and  played "the rat game".

They all had beautiful costumes and makeup, playful props, and very entertaining performances. Each of the bloody crumpets had their individual personality and they made the audience feel as though they were a part of the show. It was very enjoyable and visually delightful. I loved it.

(P.S. the photos turned out kind of abstract and strange because I wasn't using flash.)

Unicorn is found at the fountain.



 Unicorn is Found at the Fountain, 1495-1505.

I've really been enjoying my Art History classes. I was never a huge fan of history, unless the teacher made it interesting, so I thought art history would be similar. It's actually more about the art than the history, the story behind it is more just information you pick up by learning about each art piece. Currently we're in the 1500s.

I found this tapestry pretty and interesting, I never knew there was so much symbolism in everyday objects. I'm also amazed that it's a tapestry, it looks like a painting or drawing. I'd have never guessed it to be needlework.

The subject of the piece of art is the unicorn, a mythical horse-like animal with a single long twisted horn. They're said to be supernaturally swift and can only be captured by a virgin, to whom it came willingly. The unicorn became a symbol of the Incarnation (Christ is the unicorn captured by the Virgin Mary) and a metaphor for romantic love. The capture an killing of the unicorn also symbolizes Christ's death on the cross.

Lions represent valor, faith, courage, and mercy. The stag is a resurrection symbol (shedding and regrowing it's antlers). Rabbits are signs of fertility and dogs fidelity. there's a strong theme of marriage, strawberries are a common symbol of sexual love, pansy means remembrance, and periwinkle is a cure for spiteful feelings and jealousy.

(All information I've obtained about the piece I got from Art History vol.II by Marilyn Stokstad)

This is the title.

I'm not really sure what to write about. I want to succeed in my resolution though, I refuse to fail the first month of the new year. So here's a little update I guess.

 I already asked about this on my Tumblr and realized why not on here? Anyway, my question is: Would any of my followers be interested in my photography? I was thinking about creating a new page, and just to warn you, it'd be amateur stuff like photos I've put on here already. I mostly take pictures (art wise) of sunsets/rises, clouds, trees, and dead animals.

Any sort of comments would be appreciated, here or on Tumblr. thank you.

*I've modified my resolution, I'm going to post about 5 things each month, this way I won't be causing myself unnessecary stress.*
