Forgive your mother.

If she's alive-call her today.

If she's gone - she loved you.  Know that.

This is the letter to Alex I did -like I said -hardest job I've ever had.  ;)

Dear Alex -

You got your 5th report card for the year and for the 5th time got all As and 1 B+. You get incredulous about the B+ ("I KNOW I am good at ____").  AFTER having validated initially all the good grade talk, it's time to talk about the B+ is really from not getting work finished on time due to the stack of papers in the subject we have to prove it from the ]]> http://devilicious.deviantart.com/journal/siblings-370327844 http://devilicious.deviantart.com/journal/siblings-370327844 Tue, 07 May 2013 17:36:58 PDT siblings nonadult journals/personal devilicious http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/e/devilicious.gif Copyright 2013 `devilicious

At first glance I thought "I Wish I'd done this" – but after looking it over – THIS is why I never wanted Alex to child model. I disagree that "if we see it, children are seeing it" – that implies children see things with the same reactions/impacts an adult may and I don't agree with that.  I also think it does affect the kids to play dress up in some of these ways and being involved in some of these things – frankly the photographer's opinions on the events depicted are being pushed onto the chi ]]> http://devilicious.deviantart.com/journal/what-would-New-York-look-like-under-the-stars-366785089 http://devilicious.deviantart.com/journal/what-would-New-York-look-like-under-the-stars-366785089 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 10:34:22 PDT what would New York look like under the stars? nonadult journals/personal devilicious http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/e/devilicious.gif Copyright 2013 `devilicious
What would Shanghai or NY look like with a full sky of brilliant stars? This French photographer sows us by blending city scenes  - shot and altered to eliminate lights and other distractions - and the night skies from less populated locations that fall on the same latitudes.  The resutl is what city dwellers might see i the absence of light pollution.  Check it out.  :)

Dear Alex -

Last night you're watching television – Nick at Nite.  The70s Show comes on later around 9pm and you ask if you can watch it. You're a very precocious kid and it IS Nick at Nite, so I say fine as long as I watch with you.  :shrug: :nod:

"mommy do you believe in God?"

"alex, why do you watch Colbert at the age of  8 years old?"

"alex, why do you watch Doomsday Preparers?"

"alex, what do you mean you think no one else's parents you know talk to their kids like I talk to you?"

etc.

Have all of you had the absolute pleasure of reading Suri's Burn Book?  :lol:  It is brilliant satire by Allie Hagan.  She wanted to do satire on America's obsession with celebrities and their children, and knew it would come across too hateful from the mouth of an adult. So she speaks through the voice of Suri Cruise and harshly criticizes and comments on celebrity kids and their parents, along with a slight hatred of her mother, Katie Holmes. It is greatness, h ilarious and if you're into fashion at all – spot fucking on.  The commentary is solid fashion snobbery at it's best.  Here is the link: http://surisburnb ]]> http://devilicious.deviantart.com/journal/beauty-and-art-are-subjective-346589481 http://devilicious.deviantart.com/journal/beauty-and-art-are-subjective-346589481 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 20:45:56 PST beauty and art are subjective nonadult journals/personal devilicious http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/e/devilicious.gif Copyright 2013 `devilicious

Dear Alex,

Hello kiddo.  :) You are on a roll with asking Mommy what we will call "challenging" questions!  We just covered you looking up "sex" and "vagina" (that you both already knew) on YouTube…..and last night on big bed out of the blue you said "Mommy, what does 'gay' mean?"  :faint:  I, unlike most parents, LOVE it when these things come up.  I see it 100% as an opportunity to teach you and talk to you honestly about the world we live in.  I don't believe you are too young for ANY thing you ask about as long as you are the one that comes to me with the question/curiosity b/c it's ALREADY been presented to y ]]> http://devilicious.deviantart.com/journal/the-deep-end-of-the-pool-313450363 http://devilicious.deviantart.com/journal/the-deep-end-of-the-pool-313450363 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 15:47:35 PDT the deep end of the pool nonadult journals/personal devilicious http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/e/devilicious.gif Copyright 2012-2013 `devilicious
marina abramovic - the artist is present  http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/965

It reminds me how very personal art is and how an artist life must really trust their art, which means trusting yourself - and that can be hard for some of us.  :)  I really believe nothing great was simple, easy or quick - in art.  Even if it appears to have been that way to the artist -I think in reality it was probably forming for quite some time internally before exposing itself.

On another note - you guys (my DA audience) surprise me......in the best of ways....when I've given up hope of reaching ]]> http://devilicious.deviantart.com/journal/Kirsty-Mitchell-s-Wonderland-Photography-Series-312378282 http://devilicious.deviantart.com/journal/Kirsty-Mitchell-s-Wonderland-Photography-Series-312378282 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 14:51:15 PDT Kirsty Mitchell's Wonderland Photography Series nonadult journals/personal devilicious http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/e/devilicious.gif Copyright 2012-2013 `devilicious

Done while mourning the loss of her mother, saying reality was too much so she went for fantasy.  Clearly this is beyond inspiring for me.  I really need to get with make up artists and learn more photoshop  -I love this stuff!

Alex graduated first grade today - he got straight As again - out of 36 grades on 6 reports cards this year - 35 of them were As.  :)  He was anxious to see his grades today, cared, wanted his straight As, etc.  So proud of him and hope it lasts.  I do my best to encourage him to get off on knowledge and know the power of "knowing stuff".  He's way into math now and wants to take a math tutoring class over summer *for fun to learn*.  Let's see how long this lasts into the coming years.  ;)  He struggled with behavior this year - mainly following directions and keeping quiet in class - but in the end - the grades showed he was getting ]]> http://devilicious.deviantart.com/journal/art-overwhelms-303440037 http://devilicious.deviantart.com/journal/art-overwhelms-303440037 Sun, 20 May 2012 20:41:41 PDT art overwhelms nonadult journals/personal devilicious http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/e/devilicious.gif Copyright 2012-2013 `devilicious
