FAQ : Momento Mori
by Samantha ~ April 11th, 2009. Filed under: vanity.
† Is that mouse real? WTF?
Indeed it is! Maybe some of you remember it from the previous version of 523, but maybe you don’t. Nixon made it for me for Valentine’s Day in ’08 from bits and pieces of two mice, save for the tail, which is a rubber bungee contraption.
† What happened to the pretty lavender haired Fractal of a few years ago? She looks like a 40 year old junkie goth whore now!
Kill Bill: Vol. 2 trailer
Please just let the purple hair die. Call me a 40 year old (I’m almost 28, and aging gracefully), call me a junkie (even though I don’t do drugs), call me a goth (whatever), call me a whore (go fuck yourself), but just please let go of the purple hair.
† Where is that awesome location?
That awesome location is my kitchen table, where I am sitting and typing this up this very moment. It’s amazing what Sawa’s clever lighting and Cherry’s photoshop skills can do. Usually, it is not covered in me and skulls, but it does have cats on it, more often than not.

† What is wrong with that cat? Why is she in every photo? Is she sick?
Chicken’s a Sphynx cat, which is a hairless breed, and she loves her mommy. When she isn’t napping or whining for food, she’s usually at my side, much like in the photos. She’s not sick, but she did, however, need a bath that day.

† You kill animals! You murderer!
My favorite part about prepping for this set was when Sawa and I went out hunting for all those critters, killed and skinned them, than danced around my backyard wearing their skins and painted our faces with their blood.
Every specimen in my collection was purchased or obtained by legal and humane methods. None of those pieces were killed for their innards. Many of them were purchased from Necromance in Hollywood, the Bone Room in Berkley, and a few other various places. And yes, all of them are real (save for the spine model and fetal skull).

Pffffh everyday sees me more and more surprised and desperated about how stupid can be people…..

Can’t believe people don’t know about Chicken by now. The purple hair looked good, but I don’t really miss it.
Am I wrong in thinking the sepia tone was because the memento mori was a common custom in the 19th century, when all photos had that tone?

Chicken is gorgeous :) Just like her mommy. Anyone that has any sense can see that.

Everybody should know about chicken by now. You have a tattoo of him fer crying out loud. The purple hair was nice, but it was a long time ago. The darker hair suits you more. As for the dead stuff, dead stuff looks cool.

Wow. Seriously?
This set is awesome. Period. And I remember the…ah, “other color” your hair used to be. Then? Cute. Now? Beautiful. You have aged more than gracefully.*

*Almost 28? I can’t believe I used “aged” in that sentence at all. Now get off my lawn. ;)

OMG. Are people seriously STILL going on about Fluffy? Talk about being typecast! It was ONE set. You don’t ACTUALLY HAVE purple/mauve/lavender hair; it’s just dye. And I’m pretty sure it was done specially for that set… or maybe the set was intended to preserve and celebrate the amazing colour which was a ONE TIME DEAL. 8-)
This is like Rudger Hauer being remembered as Roy Batty in Blade Runner. FFS, he kicked ass in The Hitcher, too. And Blind Fury.
Does no-one ever mention the fishnets in Slice? What about the dog collar thing in Shock Me? Or those huge black earrings that seem to make an appearance in almost every set? 8-)
On a different note — and you can take this as you wish — it bemuses me that a vegitarian can have such a fascination with taxidermy as an art form. 8-) I’m not knocking it. I’m just tickled by the irony.

PS. It’s kind of irrelevant, but have you totally abandoned doing those Domestic Diary things? They were cool. Well, *I* thought they were cool. If I’m alone in thinking so, fuck it. 8-)

@AJT – I haven’t intentionally abandoned the Domestic Diaries, just haven’t cooked anything new in awhile!
@Dave – I shake my walker at those damn shitbag kids that ring my doorbell and run every afternoon.
@everyone else – I agree! Fuck that shit! I still find it funny though how people hold on.
