Alright, everyone has their right to be whoever they want to be. But, there are always those who feel the need to enforce their views/beliefs/religions/etc on other people. Example... this PETA thing. It's all over the place now. Celebrity cliques, unrelated celebrity ads, TV, MySpace. I'm not saying I'm for the actual killing of animals as far as fun. No, I take that back. I am. If I knew how to hunt, I would. If I could wear my own fur, instead of spending a ridiculous amount of money on premade coats, I would. I sure as hell eat a lot of meat, too. All aside, I used to get a ton of hate mail from a lot of people for the picture I had up where I'm wearing a real fox fur coat. Great, ok, awesome, Yeah you support PETA, sweet. Please, don't put that s&%$ all over my profile. I don't wear fur on a regular basis because I can't AFFORD it. If I could? I probably would. I like how it looks, I like how it feels. It's so cute. There are so much more things in the world to worry about, to bitch about, to protest about than hamburgers and fur boots. We're animals. We eat meat. It's what we do. But the keynote to remember, is we have the choice whether or not we want to. Choice aka don't make it for me. I was a vegetarian once for 6 years. I've been there, I know the routine, I know what's good what's not. Infact, I did the diet the right way. Not this "I'm a vegetarian and only eat soy cupcakes and drink soda." I did it as a DIET, I did NOT do it for the sake of "ohh precious animals!" f%&# that, I love burgers, BBQS, ribs, nuggets, the list goes on! Look, if you don't wear fur, if you don't eat meat, sweet, more power to you. It's something you yourself can say you're passionate about. Just leave me the f%&# alone when it comes to what I do with my life and the clothes that I wear.
Here's an idea... Why don't you do some REAL research and look more into what PETA does behind closed doors, and then speak for yourself, instead of doing what you're told, or what ForBiddeN tells you to do, or what seems like a popular thing to do.
I'm sure everybody has seen that PETA video with Trent Reznor as it's spokesman. Everyone and anyone has titled their bulletins with "this is sick!", "why does this happen!", and "how could anyone do this!"... Anybody remember NIN's video "Closer"?
Here's a reminder...
Raincheck, there's a reference to a Francis Bacon painting. Holy smokes, that's ironic isn't it?
Sure sure, there's a difference between controversy and contradictions. But those fucking bulletins!
SkunkMonkeY20:... and it's always "Hi, I'm Trent Reznor, don't hurt animals" SkunkMonkeY20: "I'll electrocute elephants and bludgeon chimps to death, but please don't wear fur"
- A hanging animal skull - A cow tongue - A monkey tied to a crucifix - A cow split in two [Francis Bacon] - A pig head on a machine - Fetus skelleton in a jar
SkunkMonkeY20: I was like trent you fag you used to use animal brutality for entertainments sake SkunkMonkeY20: now you're bitching because some hoity toity in beverly hills wants to wear a couple cats as a coat? please.
PETA is a fad. A fad is something that latches on to popular culture to appeal to the masses. Myspace Celebrities, Jenna Jameson, etc etc are trends. Do you remember the Alicia Silverstone PETA ad? I got the impression more of whore than vegetarian. Wait, what was that ad about? Trent Reznor is a popular artist working with PETA, too.
Are PETA's videos indication that the group is based upon a fad? They're more concerned with famous people than rational arguments.
heartbreakrq: That video was 12 yrs ago. And that Reznor's views HAVE changed on a lot of things lately? It's POSSIBLE. heartbreakrq: But... it's Trent Reznor. SkunkMonkeY20:AKA media whore and money grubbing hollywood trash. SkunkMonkeY20: No offense. heartbreakrq: None taken.
Hmm...
Here's the PETA video with Trent's "words of wisdom":
Some people like to say that Penn and Teller's BULLSHIT! tv show on HBO is stupid and a waste of time. I actually find it not only hilarious, but just as informational as anything else. People find Michael Moore a "reliable source", so, I will say my side's with Penn&Teller. Check out their PETA Episode. It's amazing. And I fully agree with it completely.
For the record, I'm a firm believer of animal love. I have a handful of pets myself. Did you know that PETA is against pets? Says it's inhumane, slavery, torture and takes away from their "natural habitat". Sometimes I can't even take their publications seriously.
My favorite part about PETA supporters is when they wear anything faux. Seriously. Think about it. If you wear faux fur, you're still publicly demanding the style of fur for fashion. If it's something little, such as you just prefer not to wear real fur, ok same goes with everything else, more power to you. But if you're a preachy piece of s&%$ who says FUR IS MURDER, and I see you wearing a leather belt, faux fur boots, you deserve a shot to the crotch.
My wedding plans. The greatest wedding there will ever be:
1. Custom Princess Peach tiara I don't think this will be difficult to make. The costume I had for Halloween last year just came with one of those silly cheap things you could buy at Walgreens or something. So, I'd like to be real accurate about it! I also plan on wearing a cut and shaped blonde wig, too. I'm not dying my hair anymore, so, I gotta be blonde for this. Not the wig I had last year either, because that was just a BLONDE thing I had to put on because I forgot she was blonde haha. Well, she's actually strawberry blonde, but whatever. A fellow cosplayer I met on MySpace/Cosplay.com says this about hers [pictured above]: "We went to Johanne's got 2 pieces of foam paper (it's in the kid craft section) got metalic gold spray paint, and some crazy glue. We cut out the points by mesauring how long the whole paper foam was and divided by how many points (4). Then before gluing it together we put a dent thu the middle of the crown, just to be accurate, and then spray painted it, then glued it together. For Peach's crown, I then cut out little circles to go behind the jewels and make them stand out more. Then i put on two blue (front back) jewels and two red jewels (left,right side). To keep it on our heads, we were going to just pin them in but by a stoke of genius we glued them on headbands. Your hair completely covers them." What I can't decide, is if I should add a vail or something!?
2. Custom Pink Wedding Dress I got a hold of Tricia Lung to help me with this part. Like the pictures above, I want it like a combination of Peach and Aurora. Maybe some more glitter? Anyway, Tricia makes pretty awesome fucking sweet prom dress formal wear-esque apparel. She was in the fashion show for 2 years, and she wore her own items. So far I think she's interested, I've just been so busy, it's hard to call her back and plan some shit. At the same time, I don't want her to start a project that won't be happening years from now. Pink, train, blue gem on chest, poofy sleeves, maybe some bones in the top like a corset so I have a figure haha. Not TOO poofy of a DRESS, but enough that it's formal looking. Not a slim gown. I already have white gloves, too. I have to somehow find a pair of HUGE blue balls for earrings haha. Maybe have Cotton Candy Vomit make them for me? Or I could probably make some with the help of Richie and a trip to Hobby Lobby.
3. Super Mario wedding cake Nicole helped me with this one, and got me a contact to somebody who could make this cake for me. 'Nuff said.
4. Red and green shells for "just married" car ends. Ya know when you put cans on the back of the bumper to drag when you drive? Well, I'd have some green and red shells made. Just like Mario Kart! Get it?! HaAHAH. I can't decide if I should try and get them made out of wood, or metal. Maybe foam. Any suggestions?
5. Rich's Suit Rich and I at Halloween '06, and the costume display on the costume site in which I bought them at. I was thinking maybe him wearing these blue overalls still, but go get some nicer bright red short sleeve button up and bow-tie. Then have the piranha plant as a boutonniere. He has the cap we made, but maybe we might have to get a nicer one. Because the costume was just a plain red hat. We whited-out the letter "M" on it. Oh, and f%&# the costume display. At least Rich wore brown shoes :-) Which were PERFECT, btw.
6. Groomsmen? Luigi as the best man? What about the rest of the Groomsmen? Dress as Wario in Yellow suits? I was also going to see if Rich wanted to have the guests dress in either red or white, but I think that's asking too much at this point. Plus, my dad even said "You should do this on Halloween! Costume weddings are the BEST." This coming from the man who said he was going to have my brothers and himself in their Scottish tartan and kilts for my wedding someday. What if they were dressed as Toads?
7. Bridesmaids? I was thinking of having the girls wear red and white to represent Toadstools. Maybe have the Maid of Honor dress as Princess Daisy. Have them all wear red and white flowers in their hair as if they had the red and white spotted mushroom heads haha. I want to still be pretty much know what look you'd be pulling off, ya know? Would anybody get the concept of the red and white? What if they were dress as Toadettes?
8. Castle "stage" built for Ceremony I was thinking, since I did Toadies in high school, and did the whole theatre thing, I was hoping to get a hold of my old freshman year Geometry teacher/Toadies leader/dad's drinking buddy Mr. Matz to help me build this. If he can't or it's hard to get him to, I could make it myself, it would just take me longer. Or maybe down the road I'll just so happen to come across some carpenter friends to help haha. I mean, I don't know carpentry or how to do household fix 'ems, but I know how to build s&%$ that's fake, bwahaha. Maybe have a flag pole with fireworks? Maybe a light at the top with a trophy? Maybe vines up to the 'clouds' on the sides?
9. Treasure chest boxes as the Thanks for Coming! Inside these puppies would be a random surprise of a leaf, coin, whistle, fireball candy, plant seeds packet, mushrooms, playing cards, turnips, raddish, bottle of red potion, shell, etc etc inside for those "thanks for coming to my wedding!" trinkets? I'm sure I could find things like plastic leaves, whistles or coins at the dollar store or something. Make a lot of the others. Custome write our family and guests' names on the boxes. This is already said and done. Got them for a buck a piece!
10. Spagetti for Dinner with meatballs, lol.
11. Bouquet This parts easy. Hobby Lobby here I come! Piranha plants in a green tube 'holder' via foam.
12. Judge? We're not religious, therefore no church, no priest. How do we legally get hitched then? Apparently, we have a few choices. Either, have a Judge of the Peace come to our joint and hitch us, or, have a friend or family member ordained for the ceremony and legally wed us. Lee has stepped up to the plate and requested to dress as Bowser [watch the video!! I'm amazed!!! AND JEALOUS.]. All we gotta do it make it:
13. Location. I've aaaalways wanted to get hitched on a shoreline. Since Chicago has pretty much NO public shorelines in which I could wed by Lakeside, I'd have to pay big money. So I'm thinking more towards Michigan? It's still driving distance for those who want to go, so I hope I find a place. My dad's all for it and thinks all this is a great idea! I just have to wait until he's settled with a new job and all that crap. Since the bride's folks pay for the wedding. My uncle and aunt said they'd help, too. Which I'm not sure I'd ready to accept. We all know my mom won't pay s&%$ because it's not HER wedding or for HER so she won't pay/help. Because she's a sandy snatchy bitch. Plus, this way I get to be bare foot haha.
14. A band to Play: Of course this is extreme pending.
15. Traditions: Example; throwing rice. Not only is it not allowed anymore because it kills birds when they eat dry rice [it expands and blows their tummy up when they eat it], but it also means blessings of fertility. UM, NO THANKS. Rich and I don't want kids. If we want to name something, we get a pet. So far there's 3 in the family, more on the way. Instead of rice, how about I hand out everybody a red bottle of bubbles to blow. The labels will say "THANKS THANKS THANKS", too.
Of course, there's more to think about. But this was the most fun to come up with. The greatest part is, is that Rich is all for this idea. It's fun, exciting and fucking REAL baby! The date is pending, the location is pending.
Watch this end up on youtube.
We rule.
One of the things that Rich and I also thought about for a cake topper/theme, was this: Peter Parker and Mary Jane... Zombies? But, I want it anyway haha.
