hi holy shit hi

is anyone still here? thinking of making a new account. i miss this place. in the meantime follow me on insta @ dollyspectra cause that’s where I’ve been lately. hope you’re all well x

Haven’t been on here awhile but I had a dream and I feel like you guys would understand more than anyone else.

Basically I dreamt that I finally met David Bowie and he was so nice and happy and caring... and I woke up and he’s dead and I’ve legit been holding in tears all day. So like a noob I just started sobbing and then I looked up some old live videos and felt kinda better but still a little rekd. Everything is weird.

Also if anyone gives a shit about updates on my life I got married and moved back to LA, I live in a big old house with my husband and friends from my old arts collective and burning man camp. We’re starting a new arts collective and going to burning man again this year. I had a pretty shit year and god damn I can’t wait to be doing more ridiculous LA things with ridiculous LA people again. I love being back here and I’m starting to feel myself becoming a healthier person again. Oh and my hair is still pink and I’m finally fucking almost done with these shit damn recordings. I’m mixing them myself because nobody knows how to make my music sound as good as I can and I’m proud of that. And 2016 can go fuck itself right up the dick. 

So I’m just gonna say now that 2017 is the year of Dolly Fucking Spectra and whoever else wants to art shit up with me OK? If you wanna make some weirdness (music or not) hit me up! ~~~~~~~ @dollyspectra ~~~~~~~

I think this girl falls over in public on purpose I think she’s the girl with popcorn at the theatre and the girl falling into wrapping paper at Walmart

[capacity]

What’s the point of that? I feel taken advantage of and manipulated

[walterwhitemediocrity]

It’s performance art that disturbs our epochal malaise by subjecting the public to spontaneous, sensory acts that externalize the artist’s suffering, similar to I’ve McFallen (2015)

I still don’t understand how supermodels are a thing.

I get paid beans to do biomedical research that has the potential to cure mental illnesses, and these people can afford mansions because they wear clothes and walk in a straight line?

[dani-c-a]

There are a lot of things wrong with the fashion/modeling industry, but to be fair, there’s a difference between someone with a certain type of body who can walk in a straight line, and someone who is excellent and very skilled at modeling (ie. a supermodel). I’d imagine you’d have to work your way up to being successful like in any field. “Pay your dues,” so to speak. I have friends who get paid beans to model, not because they don’t look right, but because they haven’t done what it takes to become a really successful model. I’m sure Iman, Tyra, Naomi, etc. would tell you that there’s so much more to their work than just walking in a straight line.

I’m sure some of the top researchers in the world can afford mansions as well. And medical cures are more critically important to keeping someone able to be alive and well, but things like design, arts, and events are what keep people human. Again, there are a lot of things wrong with the fashion/modeling industry, but I just don’t think this comparison is a fair one.
