For me, I seem to have a tough time faking things or acting a certain way to please a mass of people. In the past,whatever masks I have tried to use in the past, crack like a cheap item from Spirit Halloween Store. I'm getting better at not volunteering information, but I don't know if I can ever become a World Class Bullshit Artist(tm). That said, I have always thought that bullshitting, smoke screening and generally being a fake is only going to work so long.

Im pretty sure why this sentiment grows inside of me. Its true that recent days have shown me all sorts of people, in one way or another, who are invincible even when their negative actions seem so blatant. Spinning a story or smoke screening and scapegoating seem to be their tools of choice in keeping the facade that has gotten them so far. When anyone tries to express an observation about the negativity they are producing, they are right there to spin it around. Smoke screening the issue, no finger points to them as the source for the mess.

They are untouchable and its like they know it. Some people have been doing what they do for years and it seems there is no hindsight from anyone who favors them to see what they are doing or, in some cases, realize that they are crazymakers and dramakings/dramaqueens.

For me, I suppose the only reason it came up is because these people are affecting the wonderful people I surround myself with. Its not just an incident "over there" *points into the distance* where I would have to actually be revenge-oriented and have the time/effort to walk over the hill to watch a trainwreck. No. Instead, its a case of seeing it closer to home.

I have cultivated some wonderful, non-shallow friendships so I suppose it actually affects me when they are the ones getting stomped out. Like me, they also arent trying to cheat "the social system" like these other people are. Most people I call friends tend to gravitate towards others who get by on merits, not on how well of a lie they can tell.

I recognize that things like justice and karma are not my place to mete out. Vigilante justice has seldom turned the negativity into something positive. Still, I confess that I have developed this justice-seeking streak in me. Part of me wishes them the best and is relaxed about the Universe taking care of it on its own. The other part wishes these people would finally get at least a firm but not-life threatening "lesson" that might make them see what kind of energy they are putting out. Overall, its not like this world is short on negative energy, and its about time that more people can hop on board and spread some positive energy around.

***

As far as myself goes, I got no complaints. I just am clutching my moral compass and doing "what I can" for survival here in 2010. I know an update on the state of things and my common positive experiences would be much better than what I just wrote but I just had to vent it somehow.]]> http://bohocrush.com/Catwoman69y2k/blog/justice-syndrome/ Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:35:25 +0000 Kat the Leopardess http://bohocrush.com/Walproject/blog/musicians-nightmare/ Our rehearsal room was last week under water. some guys over us forgot to close a water tap.

I appreciate cutting the strings away: old thought patterns, less than desirable emotional habits, attention needs, old habits, old patterns, and moving forward less jaded, more open minded, and lighter of spirit.

a lovely little reboot so that I can continue to enjoy each and everyday once I return from the playa, and prepare for mecca once again.

I love nature, it shows me that life is cyclical, and I love love because it always shows me to enjoy it]]> http://bohocrush.com/georgette/blog/freedom/ Sat, 28 Aug 2010 02:54:32 +0000 georgette crush http://bohocrush.com/brutalcupccake/blog/meditative-restoration/

There was just something very spiritually nurturing about today, and even last night. The boyfriend and I crawled into bed and had some of the most passionate sex we have ever shared. I am so blessed and grateful for what our relationship has evolved into. It's been slow, but I feel the more moments we share together, the more powerful our connection grows. I woke up this morning before my alarm clock and didn't want to go to work. Silly, I know. To be blunt (hehe) I just wanted to snuggle up next to him before it got too hot and then blaze all day. He drove me over to the train station, but the trains were delayed so we had time to walk around and talk. The more we did so, the more I really did not want to go to work anymore. So I unleashed my usual, childish techniques of getting what I want. I painted some elaborate story of all the amazing adventures we could go on if I played hooky, I offered to help him clean up his place, hell, I even got a little teary eyed to appeal to his "pathos". You see, what I realize is that I am very much like a child still, and when he saw through my tricks, I pouted. I tried bullshitting logical rebuttals for his legitimate reasons on why I just need to go to work. (Ie. more money = more adventures) And eventually the train showed up, he had to drag me over, and by the time we got there it was about to leave so there was no time to really say bye. In a blink of an eye I hopped on, managing to only blow a kiss before the doors shut, and I sat down to think. You see, I felt so full of love at that moment when I realized that I found someone to balance me so delightfully. I have the awful tendency of avoiding reality, and he has the wonderful tendency of keeping me grounded. He gently points out when I'm bullshitting, yet firmly keeps me on a mature path. All while also letting me be my fantastical, obnoxious self when I can get away with it (hehe). It's such a mutual giving, giving relationship, and simultaneously because we are both giving, we are also receiving. Of course there's times like this morning where one of us has to be extra patient, but we never get mad at the other, there is always understanding and respect.



And work didn't go too badly. In fact, it went by pretty quickly! The next thing you know, I'm back home cleaning the kitchen after making myself a snack when my dad came home. My dad and I have a very...unusual relationship. We're more like roomates if anything, and we're both usually too tired to deal with the other so when one of us is home, it's in our rooms with the door closed. But since we were both in the kitchen, we were able to talk. And it was beautiful! The past few weeks have been a little tough, but for the usual things so I wasn't complaining. I was just really yearning for a responsible adult figure I could look up to...someone I could physically see who could give me hope that it IS possible to live a life of passion and happiness. But my dad actually talked to me about finances, taxes, credit...things I SHOULD know about, but never really had anyone explain to me. It was really nice to discover we were on the same page, and in a weird way, I think him feeling like he was teaching me something made him feel pretty good too. I'm looking forward to learning more and continuing on my path of responsibility and independence!

As the sun was setting, I realized it was a full moon tonight (in Pisces!) Since I had a bonfire for the Leo new moon, I wanted to close this cycle with some yoga and meditation. The past few weeks now I've been trying to make yoga a daily habit. I'll admit, sometimes I don't have time to make it to a class, and there's some days I can't even manage to do some personal stretches, but I do my best. My favorite moments are always when I practice on my outside patio. My apartment's front door actually looks out to dusty California wilderness - trails that lead all the way to the place LIB was located, actually.



I started with some simple stretches, did some sun salutations, and then whatever else my body seemed to be feeling at that moment. I took some time to meditate for as long as I could keep my mind clear...which is always a little difficult for my Gemini brain. I like focusing on the sounds of the wind chimes, or the crickets communicating. Or I'll zone out into the blackness of my eyelids. As it got dark, I opened my eyes, opened my heart, and whispered to the stars. I expressed my deepest gratitude for everything in my life. All the trials and tribulations have lead me here to this moment, and I am ecstatic for what is in store. As I continued my prayer, tears streamed down my face. For some reason, I usually cry during this part of meditation. When I sit and humbly reflect, it is quite possibly one of the most moving moments of my life. Because it is all there. All my thoughts, visions, memories, all right there recorded in my brain, and when I have a moment to really soak everything in, understand lessons, really take everything in - it's all quite powerful.

I am still working on manifesting my ideal life. I hope one day I can go to Burning Man with everyone and submerge myself as a bohemian fashion designer whose creations encourage and empowers all who look upon them. Until then, I am enjoying my path of exploration and experimentation. I'm learning and growing, and I hope one day to make all of you, you who inspire me so much on a daily basis, proud of me as well.

Thank you, thank you, with all my heart.

“Creativity is maximized when you’re living in the present moment” –the lululemon manifesto

As so many new and beautiful adventures start to come upon me, i am looking inward at my weaknesses and making some adjustments. one adjustment is to be even more present in each moment and to be aware of the energy i'm creating in myself, because that flows into the people around me. I invite you to explore the boho 101 and see what resonates with you.

big hugs and little spanks to everyone.

shone created such a cozy and safe place for me to let down my shields, discover my vulnerability and find peace and comfort.

I remember we spent the entire week shooting together. It was my first time behind the camera. Not knowing exactly what to do, or when to do it, I just surrendered to the adventure.

Shedding the layers in front of all of ones peers and friends is so liberating!

by the end of the week I was on one incredible naked high! I remember I asked shone if I could go full nude for burn night. I was so delighted when he not only said yes, but was so supportive!

it was incredible. sitting here typing about it makes me feel that feeling. walking around like it was just another burn night! ha

I recommend it for everyone



if you go naked this year, be safe: here is my advice

find a 2-3 hour spot where you can be naked, get out to the man, watch the festivities, and then return home safely and change into warmer clothes before you head out again. stay warm and always have a buddy system.

I love you! and I want to see your photos of you naked at the burn.

when we first started brainstorming our plans for bohocrush, even before we launched it, we knew we wanted to include the balance of the male body.

it's wasn't easy, it has not been easy, and we never gave up.

we had to find our way, find our connection with capturing the male, and in delivering. we've had so many diverse males, and it's incredible. it's really important to connect with the individual, or at least know enough about him to get an idea of how to shoot.

we are thrilled to announce that in september our boho boy galleries are going to start releasing!!

who's ready to schedule!

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it! I'm about to lose control and I know I like it!

There is a part of me...

Me and Albie
After a little convincing, i think that niki and i MIGHT have convinced Albie to go to burning man :D yaaaay! I'll have so many virgins around me..

niki:"what do we do with virgins"
Me: "we fuck them" :D hahaah




niki and meg
I love these two ladies. I am really enjoying the chance to get to know Meg more. She's such a sweet girl and wise about so many paths in life. I adore the quiet ones.. they're always the ones you gotta look out for
Niki and i have really started blossoming in our friendship. I love this girl so much. This will be our first year at burning man and i can't WAIT. I'm looking forward to getting in front of her lens at burning man for a photo shoot. )'( fuck yeah!


Nick and Amanda

NEW FRIENDS! :D nick is such a sweet guy. so much silly fun. Who can't love a guy who will wear cowboy boots to the beach haha. I enjoyed connecting with Amanda and sharing silly perversions with a down ass chick. Full of laughs, silliness, boobies, and smiles. It's so nurturing to meet new people who just love life.


right now I am thankful, blessed, grateful, and my love tank is brimming. I couldn't ask for a more complete weekend. Much love for the processes of learning to let go lightly and make my play time worth the adventure.]]> http://bohocrush.com/NoPantsDance/blog/connects-and-reconnects/ Sun, 08 Aug 2010 23:15:43 +0000 Kendra http://bohocrush.com/thefurgirl/blog/west-street-market/

This is my Aries side kicking in.

I do not see the point in lying, hiding, omitting the truth from those you share your most precious space with, sexually, in your bed, that energy is about as deep as it gets. Granted many take it for granted, the meaning has been turned into junk food by the culture by the media and sex to many is no different then ordering a pizza. But for me it's not something to treat that way, it can feed or destroy, it should be treated with the respect that it deserves. Just because others have lost the value of the exchange of energy on that level doesn't me I or anyone else has to. Granted I dont need to be married or own someone, I dont want to, nor control them, but sex with lies strung around it tends to be one of the most emotional and or spiritually damaging forces I see around me. Some are able to disconnect, I am incapable, I do not admire that skill, I feel even if it is a exchange that doesn't last forever or is between friends, being fully there emotionally spiritually and honestly is needed... Without it, drama always follows, someone always gets hurt the only way to avoid it I have found is being as transparent as possible which takes courage.. but courage is so sexy and a total turn on.

Be gay, Be Bi, Be I don't know, Be I am seeing others, Be I am not sure, Be I am only with you, or I want to be with you and them, but be honest...

I find it amusing people want "open" relationships but aren't even "open" they want open relationships and sure it can be because we are lying to ourselves, I've been there, I tried not being bi for a moment it didn't last I realized I couldn't fit my sexuality in a box so easily. But I digress..

For me these are my cards, I lay them out take it or leave it, I learned it the hard way, it shocks some it confuses others, but I feel it's the easiest route to non drama, either you like me or not, either your down to hang our not, either you're ok with me doing being with and acting how I am or not.. in the end if someone can meet me there we end up connected strong for a long time, cause in the end all the cards will be seen... all the cards will be on the table, why try to hide them, they will always come out.. Thats why lying seems like such a waste of time...

We don't have time to waste on drama, take the razors out and cut through the lies, just be transparent just be real, I have huge respect for anyone who is just honest with me, even if I don't like it, I find myself making exceptions for people because of transparency because of honesty from the get go. I see so energy wasted because people just aren't real, life is short does it work then walk together, if it isn't working taking the path alone eventually you will share the path with someone who can walk it with you.....

I love sex, but I feel sex and lies is the death of me on some spiritual level and they don't mix.. and so for me sharing my bed means sharing the truth, even if it means risking losing sharing that moment because they can't handle it, people deserve nothing but the truth, more so if they are sharing their bodies with you. Its hard, its hard for me sometimes, admitting things, being real, putting those cards on the table but in the long run it's the only way to build trust and I don't want to sleep with you if I can't trust you...

They people who have the best sex, the best sex lives are the ones who I have seen that transparency in that honesty, without it, it just turns into chaos and sure chaos is an energy to feed off of, as well as drama, but it just seems to be a waste of time and energy...

Courge is sexy, Honesty is sexier

Sometimes people try to play me, but I find it sad, cause if you tell me your out hunting I can respect you, I only like to sleep with those I respect...

I have found as a women who loves women, being honest with the ladies works really well for me, it works well with the boys too, it works well with people, in the long run, maybe it doesn't last forever but usually if I do that it never turns into the loss of love...

Sex is intense it creates a bond and even if it doesn't last forever even if things go wrong, it's so much easier to just work it through just talk it through just be honest about it all..

For me though the lack of that usually means I wont be sharing my body or bed with you, cause if I cant trust you in the deepest exchange to be transparent how can I trust you to come and connect to me fully... but then again I if I do it, its full on, i don't leave my heart and soul on the shelf, for that I may as well not do it...

Lay the cards out...save the drama.. life's too short it takes courage, it takes guts, it takes facing all the fears we have, but isn't that what this is about, growing, learning, being real...

ps
as i say this I say this to myself I am still working on myself and am so far from perfect i just feel saying nothing is like watching a fire and not bringing water

if you want to get into my bed it starts with laying out those cards all of them please]]> http://bohocrush.com/JillianAnn/blog/sex-lies-and-card-games/ Fri, 06 Aug 2010 07:57:01 +0000 Jillian Ann
