How can you describe something you’re inside of? ” “On stage I make love to twenty five thousand people; and then I go home alone.” “Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got. "

Day 86/100 #100daysofcreativewomen Dorothy Parker 1893 – 1967 Member of the Algonquin Round Table “If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.”

Dorothy Parker was an American poet, short story writer, critic, and satirist, best known for her wit, wisecracks and eye for 20th-century urban foibles. From a conflicted and unhappy childhood, Parker rose to acclaim, both for her literary output in publications such as The New Yorker and as a founding member of the Algonquin Round Table. Following the breakup of the circle, Parker traveled to Hollywood to pursue screenwriting. Her successes there, including two Academy Award nominations, were curtailed when her involvement in left-wing politics led to a place on the Hollywood blacklist. Dismissive of her own talents, she deplored her reputation as a "wisecracker." Nevertheless, her literary output and reputation for sharp wit have endured. (Wiki)

“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”

"This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.”

Day 82/100 Maud Wagner - first known female Tattoo Artist. I'm not done with her but have to get back on the road!!! #100daysofcreativewomen Maud Wagner born 1877 – death 1961 First known female Tattoo Artist!

Wagner was an aerialist and contortionist, working in numerous traveling circuses. She met Gus Wagner—a tattoo artist who described himself as "the most artistically marked up man in America" while traveling with circuses and sideshows—at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (World's Fair) in 1904, where she was working as an aerialist. She exchanged a romantic date with him for a lesson in tattooing, and several years later they were married. Together they had a daughter, Lotteva, who started tattooing at the age of nine and went on to become a tattoo artist herself. As an apprentice of her husband, Wagner learned how to give traditional "hand-poked" tattoos—despite the invention of the tattoo machine—and became a tattooist herself. Together, the Wagners were two of the last tattoo artists to work by hand, without the aid of modern tattoo machines. Maud Wagner was the United States' first known female tattoo artist. After leaving the circus, Maud and Gus Wagner traveled around the United States, working both as tattoo artists and "tattooed attractions" in vaudeville houses, county fairs and amusement arcades. They are credited with bringing tattoo artistry inland, away from the coastal cities and towns where the practice had started. (Wiki) (at Best Western Butterfield Inn)
