Suzie Baker gets a Fashion Treatment from Mindy Farris

Suzie Baker gets a fashion treatment from Mindy Farris. Brandy Bobeche is considering this. She heard about it through Burn Richards's marketing consultant, Nova Avon, when they all visited her in Dordrecht, Holland. Through Nova, they previously had met and hired suzie Baker as their chef/consultant. She travelled with them to Holland and received the treatment there, in Nova's Inspiration Cottage.

The treatment consists of wearing clothes and accessories that vibrate at certain frequencies, as determined by need. This is very similar to food resonance treatments that Suzie Baker performs on her clients, so she herself was very receptive to the treatment. Brandy Bobeche will receive a treatment, too, as will her dog, Gillian. You see, Mindy Farris was a Pet Art Therapist in the past, so this streams very well into this new modality practice.

In this case, Mindy prescribed the use of black pumps, flourescent green pants and a purse in a certain red shade by the designer known as Brenee. Suzie wore her chef's coat during the treatment because it is the color white - which acts as a third point/field between the red/green opposition - and because she wears it more than any other garment. Thus, it will absorb and then radiate the appropriate waves to help her maintain balance. Suzie was sure that her imbalance was caused by gluten, something she does not want to avoid, since she is not a gluten-free chef/baker.

Mindy determined that the fashion treatment will eliminate existing gluten-fueled imbalances, and instructed Suzie to use only organic, non-GMO grains. In addition, Mindy directed Suzie to embellish any cream puffs she makes with real gold leaf, to neutralize the dairy-gluten-sugar devil triad. Coincidentally, Suzie had already begun to do this, intuitively feeling the grounding vibe from the gold leaf-- not surprising, as she is, after all, the creator of Spiritual Cooking Practice.

Bret & Renee Together

Nova Avon has dug up this photo of her brother Bret with his girlfriend Renee in happy times. Their fashion design firm was on the brink of success, and they could feel it. It felt so good that their apex of happiness created a nadir of substance abuse for both of them. At this point, Nova could benefit from a slowdown in wine consumption.

Dick Ramsey, Abstract Expressionist Painter.

This guy is kinda cool. (He has hired me to make his blog, see: " I Am Dick Ramsey")

"Homestead" was made especially for the San Francisco Cinematheque, in honor of the physicality of the film surface. On the right are forms related to sprocket holes; the left side has line forms representing a soundtrack. The materials are those of construction: concrete, plaster, paint, nails, and chicken wire, and there is a sculpted form of a reclining woman or mountain range--the land that is mastered by the strong. (30" x 30" on stretched canvas) - Dick Ramsey, 2013

Artist Statement
Dick Ramsey

I harness the muscularity of materials. The support, canvas, and paint have to be tamed into orderly containment of chaos. I transgress boundaries by molding my canvasses into deeper realms than simple two-dimensional art can reach. Whether by shaping the wet canvas into a body landscape of womanly guile, or using the dynamic structure of thrown, dripped, or wrangled paint streams, I intrepidly pioneer past the surface, continually inverting the alternative universe to sing my song.

Can Marketing Be Punk? Brave New 2.0

I noticed a book called "Punk Marketing" in the library. I try to inform myself about marketing since that is Nova Avon's profession; usually my eyes glaze over after reading one sentence, unless the book is in a "Twitter" format with bits of information not much longer than a text message, and broken up into boxes and other visual compartments. I thought a book called "Punk Marketing" might be easier to focus on.


But isn't the term an oxymoron? Isn't punk all about anarchy and non-consumerism?

Language, language! Punk marketing; Google a silly word for one of the most powerful organisms on the planet; the Cloud is a mass of concrete and wires and is only like a cloud in its actual weight (clouds way tons and tons--they're made of water); Yahoo--a "yahoo" used to be an unsophisticated yokel; Facebook is another massively powerful entity whose name still brings to my mind the image of the little yearbook from my junior high school.
