Sunday, August 22, 2010 at 6:48PM I'm here.
So I took some photos on my crappy (non-iphone) mobile to share my scrabble picnic in the park.
You're there.
And, simultaneously you took some photos of your beach scribbles reflecting on
Us.

In past relationships, once we've got a bit comfortable (gimme about 2 months), will begin to witness what only happens in the privacy of my own mind (and bedroom). It's 'Natty SONG'!
That is, spontaneous song that I could never do for an audience or with pressure, it comes purely out of my unedited sub conscious and out of my mouth - and that lucky fellow that I become so comfortable with, as to seem like I am alone, is able to enjoy this unique Nattyness that so few others can.
But now, I bring it to you - because, boyfriendless at present means that my song is lost into the ether, never to be retrieved (not in this lifetime without time machine) and it's just such a waste! (as you'll soon find out).
I caught myself singing a song just earlier as I was searching the house for a double adapter. If any potential suitors are reading and would like to become my 'seemingly alone' company, please pitch yourselves to me and what you can do in exchange... that would be lovely.

love in Displays of Creativity Monday, December 21, 2009 at 4:42PM I love the person who took this photo for me
so much that it makes me want to cry
that is, when i stop
and listen to my heart
i realise how much i love this person
and then i can express it in its truest form
however, with all loved ones i don't feel that deeply
not in our daily encounters
i don't want to feel it all when a person dies
i want to feel it all now and let them know it
i think this is harder than we realise
These are the meringues that went with the syrupy poached peaches.

I know that I have a lot to give in a relationship. I know all the potential I have to explore, make and create with a partner.... Today I thought about how happy I could be just baking amazing things all day with love.
However I am like a rather untapped resource in that regard. I've had boyfriends mostly with very little inspiration. If I said "what would you like to do today?" they would probably reply "dunno, what do you want to do?"
"grrrrrrrr!!!"
I've had a few friends who have complained of their partners lack of creativity when it comes to spending time together. Sometimes I think we go a bit numb when we are IN the relationship and just can't think beyond "dinner and a movie".
I just thought I'd put a few ideas 'out there' for future lovers, and how they might impress me! Obviously direct copies of illustrated date examples is not very inspiring, but you may just get the drift.
The other bonus is that they're mostly free. I'm never impressed with money or cliches. Every time a man has given me a single red rose wrapped in plastic I've had to end the relationship through sheer cliche-disgust. I'd prefer you collected varieties of purple flowers from the park and tied them up with twine. That has meaning in it's making.
Here are my date suggestions:
What beautiful date ideas do you have? Or have you experienced?

I love a man of hairy beard
partnered with thick locks and mo'
long and strong, well adhered
from his head right to his toe
I enjoy the hair on top, below
or running all over his back
wherever it does thickly grow
I love it brown or black
The texture against my creamy skin
makes me feel like a definite girl
I will fold softly into him
like ying and yang we curl
You are man, I am woman
I don't want to get confused
in the sheets of a dark bedroom
You'll be hairy and I'll be smooth
I want you thickly carpeted
Not like a shaved buffoon
I want to be way less haired
than all the limbs of you
Bum fluff should be swiftly banned
But shaving is much much worse
I want a natural hairy man
Straight from this beautiful earth
Why did they all start waxing,
clippering and shaving?
Don't they know it's the hair
that I'm absolutely craving?
And while we're speaking of these things
Ditch the vomitous perfumed cologne
It gives me a headache from the stink
I thrive on the pheromones of BO
I'll gladly nestle into your pit
The real man turns me on!
Don't want no bottled concoction
Note the word - it's a con
I may sound a bit unique
But I'm not one of just a few
The girls that I love and meet
Say they feel the same way too!

love in Aesthetics Tuesday, July 14, 2009 at 6:26PM I set up a photo booth at the Uthando Project's open day. Parents and children were there to do things like dress a doll for an African child, participate in a knit-a-thon, make dolls, watch films and learn about the project. I'm going to make a poster for Uthando and these are some of the expressions of love that I captured. Its gorgeous to watch kids show you their body language for 'love'.
I also recently designed the Uthando Project logo. It's about play and love travelling from afar into African children's hearts! It's nice to contribute some design to something you know will greatly benefit from the lick of paint.
The logo even inspired heart brooches for the Uthando crew.
I do love this...
