Eyes like glass mistakes

You talked me to sleep last night
I hadn’t felt that sad in years
Your eyes like glass mistakes
They moved me close to tears
You speak those favourite fables
Which I am yet to live
And casually confirm my fears
That I’ve got nothing to give

I take it back, all of it
Those names I called myself
The heros of my childhood
Like hardbacks on the shelf
I take it back, those promises

I wish I could say I’ve clung to time like gold
But as you said goodbye, I almost died

Latest studio shoot with Kitty

In the midst of the launch of Sublime Rush, everything else was put on the back-burner for a bit, but now my life, work and brain have returned to normal(ish) and I’d like to show you some of the pictures Kitty and I created in the studio recently.

That one involves super-cute heart-shaped pasties covered with rhinestones (from Ann Summers) and you can find it on Flickr and deviantART, and prints are available from Fotki and deviantART.

That one is a preview of a set we shot for Zivity, and you can find it on Flickr and deviantART, and buy prints from Fotki and deviantART. The Zivity set isn’t up yet but I’ll post here as soon as it goes live. In the meantime, if you’re on Zivity or are going to join, come find me and say hi. My username there is (surprisingly enough) RockstarVanity.

That one is a preview of the Morning Haze set, now viewable on ViolentlyBeautiful.com. You can get a print of that picture here, in Fotki. There’s a whole heap more alt glamour and modern pin-up prints in this folder on Fotki.

These tasty bits were also posted on AltDiva, LiveJournal and MySpace.

Sublime Rush issue 001 goes live!

Sublime Rush, the project which has been consuming my mind and my time lately, has FINALLY been released to the big wide world on the world wide web. In case you’ve missed my recent rambling on the subject, Sublime Rush is an independent arts, culture and entertainment magazine and the door is always open to fans, friends, creative content submissions and new readers.

From the website, SublimeRush.com, you can read the magazine online, register with the mailing list to get your hands on the mag before anyone else (plus see special subscriber-only content) and find out how to contribute YOUR work to future issues. You can also come and play at MySpace, Facebook and Twitter.

Any and all help with pimping the project – mentions in blogs, links on MySpace profiles, page promoting on Facebook, tweeting on Twitter etc – in these early days is massively appreciated. I’ve submitted SublimeRush.com and this blog entry to the following social bookmarking sites where you can add your clicks and love to help introduce the magazine to even more new readers…

- SublimeRush.com on Digg
- Blog entry on Digg
- SublimeRush.com on Reddit

- You can also Stumble the website and blog entry, if Stumbling is your thing.

Big huge hugs and thanks to the people who made issue 001 awesome…AnaBelle, Keith Caputo, Paul at Coolworld Photography, Jeff Koromi, Joshua Hoffine, Leyla Rose, Susan McKivergan, Danielle McKay at deviantART, Kate White, Kristen Santel AKA Hannah Bel, Teari Vaughn S at Electric Jungle Studios and Unsigned Rock TV, Jo Vallance at Room Thirteen, The Resistance, Micropenis, Alex Kelly, Christer Eckermann AKA Ecker00, Trppl Johnson at ABRA Tribe, Theodore Mander at NeveaH Jewelry, Lorna Currie and Fourthletter.

The magazine has already had almost 20,000 unique pageviews since it went live two days ago and I am so beyond excited. Every time I think about it, I feel all bubbly and hyper. And yes, issue 002 is underway already!
