Some Favorite Polyvore Collage Sets
Although I haven't played with Polyvore in quite some time, it's still a creative outlet that really intrigues me. I keep intending to go back to it, and I'm sure it will suck me back in again eventually. I wanted to share some of my past dalliances with it, and for those of you who are not familiar with the site or its artistic potential, here is Exploring New Social Media: Polyvore as Global Art Gallery, an article I wrote about it a while back.

Released
Released by alishaadkins on polyvore.com
"Sometimes I daydream of seppuku... Japanese ritualistic suicide. Well, I don't actually dream of it, per say. I think of it, but I'm not seriously contemplate doing it -- my thoughts just naturally turn to hari-kari --its image and sensations. I don't think about it because I am depressed; I just can't resist visualizing, and wondering, about it. If I were to gut myself and let my entrails spill out, steaming, onto the floor -- would I just be overwhelmed by the pain, or would I feel a sense of release? Purging all that is cooped up inside of me, in one fluid motion, one great flood of blood and organs. Though of course it would be grotesque in real life, in my mind the image is liberating -- truly glorious.
The body is a prison. We live confined within it, at its mercy. There are seething things twisting in the deep subterranean depths below its surface that are never allowed to surface. I yearn to set them free, to facilitate my own escape.
Let this writhing beast of blinding, tumultuous light out of me...
Is this beast merely angst? Or my true self in a physical cocoon?
Though it may make a very effective statement, it's impractical to commit seppuku, what with the resulting death involved and all. The only realistic way to purge the great seething cauldron within, for me at least, seems to be to let it spill out on paper, in all of its messy glory.
This was not a death wish. This was a desire for release from confinement. A daydream of transformation."

Happy Friday the 13th
Perhaps this is a lucky Friday the 13th. I stayed up entirely too late last night and finished writing Making the Best of the Zombie Apocalypse (wooohooo!). Then, this morning, I discovered that Polyvore included one of my art sets (one I did in memory of Elvis <3) in its top art selections for the day.

Yes, quite possibly a good day. If I don't get hit by a car, this will be one to chalk up in the win column.
