My inspiration :Why I Write
I don't remember ever being in love with the idea of writing but more with the idea of sharing something with others.In an over all sense that's exactly what writing might be.All good writing is done from a core within the writer that later seeks to be dug out by others and be understood.Someone who is in pain may only write to vent ,to let emotions come out , in turn it can also serve the reader to understand that emotion on another perspective.
I myself write about topics that have occurred or inspired to me.I love writing about music and art as a idea to share with others because I love such topics.Ever since high-school I knew I wanted be a music writer no matter all the bad shade thrown at women in the field.However I grew out of wanting to strictly write about music because there's so much more that effects me daily and I want to be able share those impacts.
Topics that catch my attention as a writer are women's rights,psychology,travel,decor and most types of art including
painting,photography,poetry,literature,film and fashion.The reason I specifically center around these topics is because as a writer I respect such work immensely. Mostly because the work in such fields, I have myself longed to produce.Although I love writing as both an art and as a medium to interact with others ,I have always longed to be a multi-artist.I only get a glimpse of the work when writing about it ,yet I rather write about it than not have any association at all.
As a writer who is interested in multiple topics I have always been inspired by publications zines like Rookie magazine,Dazed and Confused,I-d magazine,Interview magazine,Nylon and my recent favorite Austere magazine.Austere is home based publication here in Denton/Dallas, Texas.Their topics include topics on fashion,music,art forms,and people.I wish I had known about them much earlier because they are magnificent and a great bunch of individuals .I hope be as bold as them,and make my produce in a formal not so formal way.Work for the men while doing what I love.
Individuals ,more like heroines like Petra Collins and Tavi Gevingson from Rookie Magazine have set the doors and liberated so many young girls and guys.They write about daily life problems and in that style they prove to be exceptionally like no other publishing site.They are an open book of great art fumes and condolences ,wrapped in sympathy for all lost teenagers.There's not a day when my writing doesn't reflect the values and humanism ideals of being a young teenage girl because of the confidence they have provided me with so.My honest writing has been greatly influenced by them.Yes,Tavi Genvingson is my ultimate hero and I thank her for allowing such movement in the publishing works to be abound.All in hope I will work to become someone like her a young women and a great vision that helped many.
WELCOME, museflairandmanyaffairs is a jump into my ever so crazed, neurotic mind.Trying all at once.

How (F.O.M.O) is mentally and physically damaging through a digital spectrum
In this new age of high technology innovations which are created to represent social trends adhering to the masses. With all social mediums at the realm of admiration for almost everything in our lives.
Countless social media dominating a new part of our reality everyday.We not so much socialize with such mediums but rather find our selves waiting for every post a certain celebrity or commercial brand/organization makes.It sends jolts through us knowing we are the first to heart,like or favorite a post of that public figure.As though they might notice such things,we then make some witty and often dumb and unnecessary comment as it
Some of us are so desperate for social media attention that we become so engulfed with this fake manifestation .Once we reach more twitter followers than we followed back , were ultimately too good to have any real friends.We spent countless of hours perfecting our selfies because we want to show how "ridiculous good looking" we can be to our hypocrite fan span.At night we cant sleep at the thought of forgetting to post that funny or overly dramatic Facebook / Twitter status.The best of all Snap chat because who does not want to see your flattering face all fucking day long while sending cute messages to your friends.Seeing all those absurd meal pictures,more countless selfies,chasing of a squirrel or dog doing some dumb trick and my personal favorite the driving while lip syncing Drake sums up my snap chat feed.
This is what most of us are somewhat scared to miss out on.I myself was and sometimes can still be drawn to social media because I don't want to miss another Kardasian nude or Taylor Swift twitter cat fight.It all this absurdity in lack of faith to real human interaction can in fact be more self inflicting for our health and in part make us hate each other even more.
Now there have been a very few scenarios in which I could gracefully use social media to actually interact meaningfully with another human being.Also there been times where I lost my phone and resorted to sending a message to a fiend via social media and hours later they replied.It also can be a good dis-stressor for when you want to rant about how that lady who forgot to use almond milk in your Starbucks dared to misspell your name.Because who else will forcefully listen to such crap.It also great for finding old friends or new ones a.k.a stalking.I myself have invested myself in the art as it is the most beneficial thing about it anyway.
However this social media co-dependency is really messing with our mental and physical health.For instance we often look up ideas based on consumer driven media which takes over our own personal perspectives.Like the idealism of beauty,talent,social awareness and intellectualism .Although social media is diverse in age and nationality it hardly does any justice in bringing those groups together.We sometimes can infer the worst about others and even comment disgusting remarks because they are not like us.I know that racism and prejudice is nothing new yet online world makes more possible.
Young girls are the one that feel often subjugated to feed into this social media spring.They are most likely to follow up on newly,and sometimes silly trends.A lot of which leave girls feeling unfitted because of the constant need to stay on top of these trends.A lot start to develop eating disorders as they long for unhealthy body images.As a result many young girls also become mentally ill.They can often become anxious or depressed for no being able to obtain such an impossible image.Also many lose their own sense of identity trying to replicate the one of someone else.It can also make one lose creativity and the adverse to try something new and original .
I understand that these new technological innovations at their start mean no harm but most result in such realities in the being.Get of your device take a walk outside and breathe,take a run,hike,go ride a bike.The only thing you're missing out is on your life. You have become self inclined to these idea that the online world has a better offering to your life than well your life.Do no more self harm and get out.

The reading wish list for all Feminists who want to better all
The reading wish list for all Feminists who want to better all
1)Tiny Beautiful Things (Advice on Love and Life From Dear Sugar)by Cheryl Strayed:This book is relevant to all readers.This is real life advice from columnist Cheryl Strayed, better know as Sugar.Sugar gives her most genuine ,heart felt, personal driven sought out advice.Her advice is probably better than you can get from all your friends combined.I myself have read more than half her book and can say that it is the best advice column writing I have read.She gives advice to all,the economic troubled,perplexed sex oriented,the betrayed,confused,abused and more.I have to constantly stop and take notes because it is too good not to consider.A combination of revelations better than the Bible and Cosmo combined.
2)Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay
This best seller comes to age and projects the role of women and society.It analyzes our very customer driven society and the implication of women along the lines.She is the modern feminist who can come to terms and digest the idea that women can still much be into fashion and be feminists.She takes down on popular culture and its beliefs about women and society such as The Hunger Games and The Help.A must read for all feminist of the modern era.
"Gay playfully crosses the borders between pop culture and the critic,between serious academic and lighthearted sister-girl,between despair and optimism,between good and bad."-Melissa Harris-Perry,Wake Forest professor
3)The Essential Ellen Willis edited by Nora Willis
From her personal essays from topics like pornography music,religion,feminism,war,and drugs and so much more.Her work dating back to as early as the 1960s' and late as 2000s' is relevant to today's social,political society.Her personal essays are introduced by authors contemporary to her work ,whom admire her work.For those who want to better their perspectives on such subjects that afflict our country.This unpublished work will re-awake the activist in you, to care for and fight for your rights as a feminist.
"It’s incredible that decades after it first made waves, Ellen Willis’s writing is still as relevant as ever. From abortion and parenting to music and politics, Willis’s cultural critiques stand the test of time and fascinate over and again.
The Essential Ellen Willis reinvigorated me and reminded me why I do the work that I do. It should be required reading for anyone interested in feminism, politics, and everything in between!" —Jessica Valenti
4)Out of the Vinyl Deeps:Erin Willis on Rock Music
What better take on feminism than a topic that has been dominated by the male voice.Erin Willis criticism of rock music ,was greatly in part of her time.The counter couture where everything that manifested was a contradiction of what was believed. She female pioneer of the art that was over shadowed by the work of such critics like Lester Bangs.Her work forgotten when she quit in the 80s' , because the music was no longer politically endeavoring.A pioneer of a field that is often seen as men's work here's the take on from a woman that did it even better!

My Top Five David Lynch Film Rating
My Top Five David Lynch Film Rating
David Lynch, what a sensation of a man.With movies as obscure and sexual as most of our wet dreams. Don't deny it, the guy's a genius and all of his films are a compilation of ideas which bring out the best erections ,oops I mean reactions in all of us.Think about it most of his movies always have the four to five major components that which allure people to his films.I not saying he himself is a common film maker because he's far from that and that's why I admire him.All I'm saying is that he himself knows what makes a film great.Although like most film writers he adds a peculiar ,gloomy like twist that makes you question whether it all might be a graphic telling of his own suppressed dreams.Perhaps I'm wrong and because I deem his films as work of art that shouldn't be interpreted as we were looking at a cubism, Picasso painting.It's just a broken puzzle that should be left at that.If changed it wouldn't be as appealing to the eye or mind.It's all very much psychological.Genius!1)Eraserhead
This particular movie is like no other I had ever seen is my ultimate Lynch favorite.It was my first of his movie to watch as it is highly regarded as his best film and so far I wouldn't disagree.It's a 70s' film with the aesthetic of a 1950s' horror / silent film.The film set in black and white sets an mood of eeriness to come.The film is about a man who is soon to become a father and soon finds out his son is strictly ill and with the complexion of what resembles an alien.What I understood was a depiction of what it must feel to become a father, without being prepared and the horrors that come along with it.Here's one of my favorite scenes from the movie:
2)Lost Highway
This film has the ultimate sex appeal ,gangster dominance,porn,car chase, violence and stark mystery in which makes a great American film.This movie was the first movie to bring real confusion as an introduction to all his movies that I watched afterwards.I felt almost dumb and incapable of not being to fully comprehend this film.As of this day I still don't fully understand the climax's twist of fate and main character roles.
Is as though the main character gave up and so they tried to replace him halfway of the movie with another good,looking fellow.Also miss lady sex appeal throws you off with her look a like twin sister that happens to non grungy ,Marilyn Monroe of the film.I myself don't full it understand it nor will I try to interpret it simply because it is a work of art nothing less or more.Although there's tons of explanations and interpretations of this and all his other films online if you're a brainless square(just kidding).
Take a peak below
s
3)Blue Velvet
A true mystery left on the hands of main character Jeffrey Beamont (Kyle MacLachlan).After he himself finds a severed ear and then up ,so that makes it one of my personal favorites.However intriguing I find his complex ,analytical master pieces I really just appreciate the simple things in life.This film involves a hot damsel in distress, a gangster and his crowd of monkeys,and yes sex.It's the less pornographic dream come to film.4)Inland Empire
Let's just start by saying that this film is a film within a film .If that doesn't sound like a situation complexity I don't know what does.I myself dominate this Lynch film to be the most puzzling ,random scene configuration his work has to offer.My ADD I recall wouldn't resonate to come to terms and take in all that was put through for what lasted three hours 17 seconds.This movie however endeavors much more of an artistic point of view and self control.A much watch if you love boobies,random rabbit scene,random dancing,random,weird random!I might even consider looking the synopsis for this one at one point.
5)Muholland Drive
This move is what I call the almost porno graphic ,male sexual fantasy.You got your two main roles, a white,pristine ,pretty blond and a Latina with fair skin and big breasts.One bounded there to be come a movie star and the other there simply by fate.A turn of events that happened unexpectedly after they two become lovers and just as good friends or lovers one is always bound to betray you and take all that was meant for you.No personal implications just the way I see it.

Contemporary ,Young art wizards you should know about
Contemporary ,Young art wizards you should know about.
These young artist are the new wave of modern art , that still comes within their realm of personification .
It's art that is commercialized yet it very personal. Art that inspires yet it can be characterized as something for the greater masses.Some more pop art while some are more individualized.
Here are artist that redefine modern art out of its formal ,boring form.
Petra Collins
Is an indie artist best known for her active feminist ,free sex oriented art .She has worked commercially,shooting for Urban Outfitters,Vice,Nylon Magazine,and the indie induced blog Rookie magazine and many others.Rookie magazine/blog was the place she first became aware to the masses.She often shoots her own friends,which include models,musicians and bloggers.
Here is some of her personal art meant to revoke her audience.
Esao Andrews
Is an illustration ,oil painter known for his surrealism ,dark style of painting.Many first come upon Andrews art, as the fan base of band Circa Survive.Circa Survive has used some of the most compelling art for their all their album art covers from the artist himself.His art holds some of the most mysterious art form can be thought of as strictly self oriented.Although many aspects and things, influence his work.When working for Circa Survive he used their music to construct his work.
Check these out!Fucking great,I'd say.
Leif Podhajsky
I came upon his work through his work for Australian band Tame Impala.He himself specializes in creating album covers for many artist such as Foals,Lykke Li,The Horrors,Toy and many others.His graphic designs and alternated photographs have unique ,fragmented ,psychedelic spectrum which allure many of his clients.Aela Labbe
Is a French ,photographer I recently came upon through Facebook.I myself was easily allured by her work.Her work is much personal ,you could compare her low focus ,dream like photos to early Greek ,19 neo-classicism century paintings.Her work carries a melancholic,isolation which depicts much emotion.Depiction of her artwork can not be identified with one word. Her work is a collision of raw holiness embodied in with celestial beauty.

Show review:Christopher Owens back home to play show in Texas' Dada Club
<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/14201291/?claim=87dajm386h8">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>
Concert review: Christopher Owens
Last Tuesday ,June 9 at Club Dada in Dallas musician,songwriter Christopher performed to a small crowd.
Opening band,Daniel Markham and his band played a well ,impeding show with transcending energy.Just elevating enough to start such a long awaited gig.They set a great awakening to tired,half flustered folks.
Daniel noticing the more than half empty room, remarked "have y'all ever been late to a show?",as to say where is the rest of the crowd.Markham's band played a great set with transitioning dynamic tunes to more passive induced tunes that drew to the mood of the crowd .With songs with long ,eccentric guitar solos ,that lasted minutes in counting.
Then around 10:30 P.M. everyone gathered back in by the stage in an eeriness and quiet anxious chatter.As Christopher Owens ,himself roamed around the venue and to the stage ,as they were setting up.
Finally they began their set after what seemed like 30 min of technical maneuvering.They began their set with a quick intro.Everyone was a big,body of anticipation ,anxious disbelief.
Owens opened with Girls's song ,"Heartbreaker", from album Broken Dreams Club.An amusing tune about lovers,that although in contrast to its theme has a high luring ,on beat sound.Then playing songs from newer ,now solo project like "Out of Bed",Selfish feelings,"Coffee and tea"and then alternating to old time favorites like Goddamned,Summertime ,Ghost Mouth, and in which I myself fought tears. The audience in stoic to a momentum that made peace with time and elevation of the mind.
A musician must be seen live!!

Best music to get it on to
Best music to get it on to.
I myself have gathered the best music to enhance the "mood", based on my personal playlist and opinion.
Here is a list of my personal favorites that I myself have yet to try while ya know..(;
Jeff Buckley's everybody here wants you a tune so sensual, with an enchanting pace sure to get things going.
Buckley is known for his caressing, seducing tunes that leave one soul aching.Such feeling of vast loneliness in search for compassion is sure to be the fulfillment of the mood.
Check out tracks from one of the most precious works in music his album Grace:
Mojo pin
Lilac wine
Grace
Lover you should've come over and well you might as well just listen to the whole thing!
Pj Harvey, oh yeah ! Favorite babe from the 90's aside Kim Gordon of course.Polly is a sex goddess herself.Her music enacts a sex drive in us all. She is as sensual and alluring than anyone ,ever!
See for yourself in her official video for down by the water bellow.
If you're a romantic type and wish to have a piece of music that is almost heavenly while you yourself seek heaven on Earth,with your lover.Listen to PJ Harvey's album White Chalk.
Oh and for all the sweet lovers this classic is a must Henry Lee.
Radiohead,yes you read that right.Although Radiohead would probably be last on your list to get in on to.With the sad misconceptions of labeling them under complaint rock .I find their music melancholy healing. Their record In Rainbows ,is sure to send you from a cloudy haze over a rainbow into a more serene scene in the midst of loving scene!
Other tracks from Radiohead's aside from In Rainbows that can conjure the mood of such setting:
Lotus flower
No Surprises
High and Dry
Pyramid Song
The XX A new wave of pop, although their sound a genuinely has the same blend as most sex induced music of today.Their low soft,almost whisper vocals imply the assimilation much more.Also their song themes and titles make the topic more than obvious.Although I find both of their albums best suited for such phenomenon.
Playlist includes:
Sunset
Heart skipped a beat
Shelter
Crystallized
Islands
Purity Ring Ironic to their name the band itself is a perfect selection and final addition to this lovely list.To add to this claim I recall my best friend remark the first time I introduced her to the band.She said, "I love them , totally could get down to this if you know what I mean".
Hope you take her word for it as I often do.Here's a few good ones:
Push Pull
bodyache
Repetition
heartsigh
