NEW MUSIC YOU CAN LISTEN TO RIGHT NOW

WITCHES BREW

Well, the “season” is a slowin’ down here in New Orleans, which means a lot of our best street performers are off rompin’ in cooler climates. Thankfully, buskin’ babes Annabelle and Katie have recorded an album... which means you don’t have to wait til winter or haul your booty down to Royal st. to catch their beautiful voices, string skills, and folky groovy goodness! This could be your summer 2015 soundtrack...

LET’S TALK ABOUT DESTINY O’DEMPSEY

Our Austin, TX based friend and fellow mermaid, Destiny O’Dempsey has made an amazing children’s book out of a song she has been singing to us for years. Illustrated by Jen Carnes and musical accompaniment by Ross Carnes, the book takes us on a journey of a “fairy in a box with wings of a phoenix and a tail of a fox.” 

SUPER CUTE.

A cool thing about this book is that you can download the song off of their website and sing along with some little ones, or really this song can be enjoyed by all ages. 

If you live in the Austin area, there’s going to be a book release party on Mother’s day. 

CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO ON THAT.

You can also visit the website to hear a clip of the song

LETS TALK ABOUT PIZZA FOR A SEX...

I mean, Let’s talk about MissAudPics for a sec.

In honor of today, we are talking about a very awesome Los Angeles based photographer, Audrey Marilyn Jacobs, and her nudie pizza calendar. 

OK. I get it. It’s almost May, and none of y’all are thinking you need a calendar. But you do. You need this calendar. NEED. 

PIZZA! BABES! PIZZA AND BABES! 

Audrey has combined all of your favorite things in this jam packed calendar of gooey goodness. And there’s still 7 months of your year that could be organized in this thing ---AND Im thinking you should probably just rip out all these rad photos and stick them in your home. 

Maybe a sexy pizza themed bathroom? or perhaps a classy framed pizza porn pic above your bed? Maybe do some DIY shizzle and make a set of coasters? You’ve got 12 months, which means 12 pages of hunger inducing eye candy.

In addition to PIZZA TO THE PEOPLE (click here to buy), Audrey has a website loaded with super cool stuff. She’s constantly adding to it, and I recommend you prowl around.

And one last thing! 

 I also urge you to give this gal a holler if you are ever looking to hire a photographer. She can get er done good. Real good. Visit her site below and she what she’s all about.

#LAweekly just featured another article about our friend @elanapritchard and how her book #countytime has improved life for LA inmates. Head to www.elanapritchard.com or Amazon to get your own copy and support a talented woman doing some unique things

LET’S TALK ABOUT ELANA PRITCHARD FOR A SEC OK??? 

Once upon a time (in the 1990′s y’all.),  Elana and I were punk kids tromping through our hometown of Winston-Salem, NC. Flash forward 10 years, and she’s in LA learning the ropes of the illustrating business and crashing at my friend’s house across the street in Koreatown. Flash forward another 5 years and she’s rocked out on her drawing skills and come out with County Time.

If you follow all the blogs and Reddits and the LAweekly and the Huffington Post thingamabobs, then maybe you’ve read about her collection of cartoons that she illustrated using only a golf pencil while in the LA County Jail System. 

If not, you can read about that HERE

SO ANYWAYS. The last week that I was in Los Angeles, I invited Elana over to catch up a bit. We discussed the book, the making of, and the aftermath. Among all the things, Elana mentioned that one of the more positive situations that came out of this whole cartoonin’ in jail scenario is that she got to talk to the women’s jail overseer, to discuss the issues she addresses in her book. Well flash forward 4 months, and the county is actually improving on some things, thanks to Elana’s suggestions!

If you haven’t read about how Elana helped the inmates of LA County get fresh panties, you can do that HERE

If you want to support Elana, or prowl around and learn more about what she is up to, you should definitely go to her website at 

www.elanapritchard.com

She is constantly posting super cool new cartoons for you to giggle at.

Some other things. You should buy County Time. We have a copy here are the merMart and we love it. When you buy things like County Time or other illustrations that Elana is slinging on her website, you are supporting the production of her hand drawn animation The Circus. Yes, this girl is hand drawing the whole thing. She needs your support!!!
