“If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”

Soliloquy from Romeo & Juliet

(and one of my personal favorites)

O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows,
As yonder lady o’er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I’ll watch her place of stand,
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!
For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.

Kisses & Chaos,

Alli Woods Frederick

It is no secret that I love Bob Hope and have since the tender age of 2.  He was my first crush and I absolutely love him to bits.  His humor, kindness, intelligence…he was one of the greats.  The day he died, July 27, 2003, I was gutted.  That’s 9 years ago today.  So in his honor I give you some of the best of Bob.  May the laughter he created continue…I miss you, Bob.

 

Bob Hope On…

Thanks for the laughter, Bob.

A new art publication is looking for participants. 

I am looking for artists who are willing to make a solid commitment to participating in this 12 month project where we will visually explore and interpret language and its impact on us.

What does this commitment entail? 

I need photographers who are willing to commit to a minimum of 2 photos a month for a year.  Artists working in other mediums – the number of submissions/amount of participation is negotiable. 

What, exactly, is the publication?

I don’t want to give away all the juicy details publicly just yet but if you’re curious & want to be considered, please contact me with your name, mediums, a brief introduction/bio and the following:

 * attach 5 samples (jpg only) of your work (no larger than 650 pixels on its longest side, 72 dpi).  No Zip Files Please.  Emails with zip files, large files or more than 5 images will NOT be considered.  This isn’t to be mean…it’s to make this process as simple and as streamlined as possible.

*please name the files as follows:  lastname_firstinitial_image#.jpg
(ex. frederick_a_image1.jpg)

to fill.in.the.mag {at} gmail {dot} com. 
Subject Line: Interested Artist

If you are a good match for the project you will receive an email with complete details at
which time you can either come along for the ride or opt out.

Please help spread the word.  I am looking for as much diversity as possible…the more the merrier.

Thanks oodles and I look forward to hearing from you!

 

Kisses & Chaos,

At least not in my life…and most especially not in my Instagram world.  I suppose it’s a pretty accurate reflection of the little hamster on the wheel that is my brain and he just runs round and round and round and then he sees something shiny, gets distracted and points his wheel in that directions and runs and runs until he sees something shiny and then…well…you get the idea.  So with that in mind and without further ado I now give you this week’s:
