Secret Songs

I like tattoo's and piercings, both on other people, and myself, and have 2 tattoos, and 13 piercings. I also like girls. Girly girls, butch girls, slightly hipster girls, girls with nice personalities. I like to cook, read new steampunk books, watch Sci-Fy things, old horror movies and RHPS, play with my kitten, argue about feminism and gender roles, watch The Daily Show, and procrastinate. ( And not very effeminate, even if this says I am. )

colorful-history:

Edmonia Lewis (1845-1909) was an African American and Native American sculptor that would find success despite discrimination for her race and gender. She was an art student at Oberlin College and would excel in her courses but would later drop out after being accused of theft and poisoning two classmates; this led to a mob beating her up severely, only to have her acquitted of any wrong doing at trial. She would later move to Boston to further her education in sculpting. Her big break would come in 1864 with a bust she made of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw being widely celebrated and selling many copies; this would supply her with enough money to move to Rome. She would spend most of her adult career in Italy and became a highly paid and internationally respected sculptor. Two of her most notable works are: Forever Free and The Death of Cleopatra.
