When Mom is an Artist..Baby Pics

What do you get when you take a gifted artist who just became a mother?

GENIUS.

Artist and new mom Amber Wheeler took ordinary pics of her son, and transformed them into adorable artworks dripping with cuteness.

If these pics don't make you smile, you must be viewing them from a psyche ward.

Kids with moms like this are really lucky. Can you imagine all the [art] projects they'll come up with during his lifetime?

Creative moms rule :)

Mom turns simple pics of her baby into snapshots of wonderful, imaginary adventures

Moody Bitches

HBO is teaming with Diablo Cody and Oprah Winfrey to explore "moody bitches."

The premium cable network is developing an untitled comedy based on Dr. Julie Holland's upcoming book, Moody Bitches.

Holland's book -- Moody Bitches: The Truth About the Drugs You're Taking, the Sex You're Not Having, The Sleep You're Missing and What's Really Making You Crazy -- explores the pros and cons of the drugs people are being offered as well as some surprising and highly effective natural therapies. HBO's take, which is inspired by Holland's source material, will "expose the truth about the drugs you're taking, the sex you're not having, the sleep you're missing and what's really making you crazy."

Cody -- who will be credited as a creator on the potential series -- will pen the script and executive produce alongside Winfrey and her Harpo Films banner. Harpo first inked a long-term pact with HBO in late 2008 to develop movies, miniseries, documentaries and scripted series for the premium cabler. Holland will be credited as a co-exec producer.

The untitled Cody comedy marks Harpo's latest scripted project at HBO. It joins These Things Happen, a modern family comedy based on Richard Kramer's (My So-Called Life) novel of the same name, and last year's untitled drama about the first black president at a prestigious liberal arts college.

For Cody, the project becomes the Juno Oscar-winning screenwriter's latest small-screen sale. Cody also has Prodigy, a teen drama set up at Fox with Fake Empire's Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. In addition, the United States of Tara alum also has her TBS talk show pilot, Me Time With Diablo Cody, in the works and last year developed comedy Alex + Amy for ABC.

Moody Bitches becomes the latest work from psychiatrist/author Holland to get the small-screen treatment. Her 2010 book Weekends at Bellevue: Nine Years on the Night Shift at the Psych ER was adapted at Fox and went to pilot in 2011. The Janet McTeer and Lauren Ambrose drama did not move forward. A publication date for Moody Bitches has not yet been announced.

"Pussy Pipes" - Clitoris Artwork of Billy Pacak

Billy Pacak’s sculptures have been featured in exhibitions in galleries and cultural centers, including Surreal Salon Six juried by Greg Escalante, the FLAG Art Foundation in New York City and the Kinsey Institute in Bloomington, Indiana. In Los Angeles, he has had exhibitions at 825 Gallery, the Antebellum Gallery, the Speakeasy Gallery, the Ultrastar Gallery, and the Hive Gallery. In addition, he participated in the traveling invitational exhibition “The Dirty Show.” Pacak’s work is in numerous private collections, including Glenn Fuhrman of New York City.

"Using the oldest sculptural technique – carving a block of wood with a sharp tool – I am able to “paint” the surface of my pieces with the innate beauty that is found within the material. Using traditional wood carving themes I push the traditional boundaries of sculpture to make conceptual, surreal, erotic, and sometimes political statements." - William “Billy” Pacak.
 

We SO love a man and/or artist who can appreciate the female form, -the clitoris being no exception. Kudos to Billy Pacak for being so creative and tasteful in his rendition of the clitoris, and giving it's shape a variety of materials and uses. -WTS.

Does He Like Me..?

Now here's a piece written by Me.


'Does He Like Me?'

Do thoughts of me dance in his mind,
Like velvety slippers, the daydreaming kind?

Did my whispered confessions of hope reach him too?
Secrets- with only stares to deliver them.
Not knowing we knew,

But still we remember them.

Was he as surprised as I?
By these new feelings bubbling like burps.

A PLAINguage, our language
Like morningbird Chirps.

Does he wonder what I do when I'm All-Out of sight?

When I've All-Left
And All-Gone,
Can he sense I'm All-Right?

Does He?
Like Me?

Has he asked the sky about Me?

Questioning cosmos,
Faster than a comet.
He can't hide that His pride,
Is ghost riding on it.

Does he imagine where my birthmarks could be?
What leg, which arm,
Shaped like a fault line with minimum cracks..

If I gave him a bite would he give me one back?

Has he wondered about my smell?
My ph-balanced,
Pheremone-d,
Nether-Regioned Spell.

 
The only fragrance in the Universe that wears heels.

 
Spiritual stilettos,
Metaphysical wheels.

In his garden of WomanLove,
Is there a flower named for me?
A she-home of genomes,
His most favored tree?

Does he see thru my bone-structured face?
Warriors, who birthed Warriors
And DNA'd these bones in place?

Whose struggles, lives and pains I've traced?
(Our paths were never made of lace)

When drawing the map of his future,
Am I found in the ink?

On the page?
In a chapter?
Is it violet or pink?

Are his feelings for me Art?
Wish I could take a look.
I'd climb right into his heart,

See if I'm in the book.

-WTS.

American Apparel Puts Pubic Hair on Mannequins

American Apparel stirs up controversy for giving storefront mannequins pubic hair.

American Apparel has stirred up quite the controversy for decking out its mannequins with very visible patches of untamed pubic hair.

As of this morning, the storefront at the retailer's East Houston location in New York features three mannequins clad in transparent white underwear, exposing their unkempt bikini lines and stopping window shoppers dead in their tracks.

But while some Twitter users have labeled the exhibition 'kinda pervy', the retailer has defended it by saying it is intended to start a conversation about society's concept of feminine beauty.

District Visual Manager Dee Myles told the Observer that the display is meant to 'bring rawness and newness to a holiday thought of as a romantic Hallmark holiday. . . by exploiting the lust of Valentine's Day.'

She added that it's important to 'have instances spark up curiosity and conversation about what we deem beautiful and sexy.'

The mannequins - all of whom are bespectacled brunettes - also expose their nipples in see-through bras. An employee at the location told the Gothamist he had never seen the mannequins before this morning, or at least 'not in this configuration'.

Shoppers have had mixed reactions to the window display, with some agreeing that it' a positive move for feminism and others believing it is too graphic.

'Slightly disturbing,' wrote one Twitter user, while another called it 'kinda brave, kinda pervy [sic].' But one fervent fan of the mannequins tweeted simply: 'LOVE IT.'

It seems the retailer has taken its defense of the 'bush' online as well; a quick browse on the website reveals several models exposing their unwaxed bikini lines in the lingerie section.

American Apparel is no stranger to provocative marketing; the retailer most recently found itself in hot water over a T-shirt featuring a drawing of a menstruating vagina.

The garment was designed by Toronto-based artist Petra Collins, who told MailOnline that it was intended to open three taboo topics for discussion: 'pubic hair, masturbation, and menstruation.'

'This image is stating that women are not a subordinate creature to just be entered,' she explained.

'We are our own beings in control of our own sexuality. I find it interesting that images addressing sexuality and reproduction are hidden and often looked at as disgusting.'

The company has also come under fire several times in the past for featuring half-naked models who appear to be under-aged on its website.

I think this idea is stupid. What purpose do they have for adding pubic hair to the mannequins IN THE WINDOW? To teach kids what an adult body looks like? That's a job for parents, not retailers. This agenda to oversexualize children is bad enough, but in this instance its ridiculous and tacky. American Apparel, have a seat. And take that caveman style bush you glued to the mannequins "manneginas" with you. #idiots
