As I stated a few days ago, I’m behind on my 2-per-week goal of creating trashograms. Although these are fun to make, I’m finding other opportunities that have much more impact in the trash society world. I have a few trashograms to share, then some news to share.
Makeup
I don’t wear a lot of makeup, as a matter of fact, most would say I don’t wear any. I do wear a little bit of eye shadow and sometimes lipstick. (I cringe as I say these things) I’m not opposed to makeup or people that wear makeup, as it’s a personal choice. My reasons for not liking it is it takes way to long to put on and I prefer to stay low maintenance. I also hate the way my face feels with all that paint clogging my pores. I had horrible skin that used to breakout all the time. I stopped makeup foundation and about 98% of it cleared up.

About two months ago, I got a really cool pair of shoes from a friend’s teenage daughter. She said she was not wearing them anymore, so I took them home with me. The shoes were awesome, great colors and artwork! As soon as I got home, I put them on and went outside to play with the boys. We got out the sidewalk chalk… well our version of sidewalk chalk… and started the outside art process. I drew the skull that was on my shoe.
I had seen lots of merchandise with artwork like my shoes, but I didn’t really know much about it. Ed Hardy. Stuff that people are paying insane amounts of money for. $109 for a short sleeve t-shirt?!?!?!? Are you kidding me? Continue reading
