Woo! I won 3rd place in my category!




Coming out of the tunnel.


Passing scenery.


I cannot remember this man's name. Pennysomething.


Sword-swallowing while balancing a spinning plate.


The Great Nipplini. He can hang 48.3 lbs from his nipples. Mhm.


THIS picture is from Friday night...



Friday night = sushi, bottles of wine, smoking a Rum and Sugar cigar, poetry readings, bead counting, ice cream fried in tempura, and lots of philosophical talk. It was GREAT.

I didn't really get to see the other winning ones. I know 2nd place was a girl with a foot tattoo.

You just sign up and pay the registration fee (it was $10, apparently that's pretty typical). Then you get a number and when they are judging your category (black and grey small, color large, portraiture, back pieces), you go up when they call your number. And then the judges write down scores and they are tallyed... and then awards are presented at the very end. That's how. :)

Congrats on winning...I know you're going to hate me for asking this but have you lost weight? Maybe it's just the picture.

[besubversive.livejournal.com]

The picture of my hand makes you think I've lost weight??

[devilssnare85.livejournal.com]

No the picture at the bottom. It is you with the red hair isn't it?

[besubversive.livejournal.com]

Nope! That's my lovely friend Jess.

You've forgotten what I look like!

[devilssnare85.livejournal.com]

No I haven't!! I thought you were just missing the bangs...it was the red hair, glasses and the expression. I feel like a jerk now.

That's meee. ^_^

[aluminum-siding.livejournal.com]

That is awesome, thumbs up :)

hey, i was thinking about your post about the stuff in new orleans. i realize that you don't know me, but you should know that i was being very sarcastic about it being great to be white. sarcasm is often my way of dealing with that stuff because it is so frustrating.

i hope you are well.

Hey, congrats on the tattoo contest! Congrats, as well, on taking a picture that I actually look cute in...heh. ^_^

It was awesome hanging out with you. Catette and I both agreed that there was an instant connection, and we hope to hang out again sometime soon!
