IRELAND and ENGLAND — TOGETHER!!! !

Those of you near and dear to me know of my love/love /hate relationship with Daniel Day Lewis — I was reminded of that earlier today by my dear friend photographer, Barbara Sullivan —http://www.imageroaming.com/

My main complaint is the crazy leprechaun eye thing he has done ever since My Left Foot.   You see, we know he’s acting when we see the EYE.  It didn’t bother me in the early years of his career but it just keeps showing up.  Or maybe that’s how he chooses parts — “oh I can give some really good eyeball on this one…….. what do you think Arthur, is there room for the eyeball in the Crucible?”  It’s like when Tyra  and Miss Jay expound upon a girl’s signature pose — “I don’t know about her but, like I’ve seen enough of her 3/4 view I wonder if Britney B. can do more???? “.  Ugh like give more to Nigel…….that’s a whole other post. …… I digress.

and what’s with the creepy hats that are now starting to appear on DDL’s head — please explain

More photos to come ………

HOLLAND!
So maybe you’re mourning Christmas, maybe you’re glad it’s over.  Either way check out this site by AMERO-DUTCH artist by way of Edina, Otto Berchem, and his blog piece 7,000 Trees.  You can read more about Otto and what he’s thinking on Temporary Person Passing Through.

JAPAN!
Ok my pretties it’s looking like January might just have an international flavor.  Maybe it’s because I drank too much shochu and ate Japanese meatballs, maybe it’s because I’m craving some travel in a serious way.  Whatever it is, until I come out of my cholesterol laden drunken stupor I’ll most likely be sending you some of my favorite things from around the world.  Today’s entry is TOASTGIRL (click the photo above to go there) — a former accounting student turned artist.    Oh and please don’t call her a feminist — she doesn’t like that.

This is the graphic that I created for my dear friend Kerry who moved to Sweden — if you couldn’t guess she’s now pregnant
