I Just Earned Me Some New Travel Stripes

20120628-194946.jpg

This week I drove on the other side of the road for my first time, through Tokyo, during rush hour, with no insurance (they won’t give it to you if you have an international drivers license – hello?!) without wetting my pants or scratching the car. I went on a road trip to the mountains of Uedo with three of… Read More ▶

Little Badass of the Week: Nudity + Strangers = Cartwheels

I was teaching Tarot classes at a crazy pagan-inspired, clothing-optional body-painting festival in upstate  NY called Sirius Rising.  I had never been naked in front of strangers before, but it was a sunny day and my then-8 year old son dared me.  An amazing artist from Brooklyn named Fred Hatt offered to paint and photograph me.  I said yes, and then proceeded to lose all manner of inhibitions.  When I look at this picture, I can remember what that moment felt like.  At the same time, I can barely believe it was me!  It definitely makes me feel pretty badass.

When I am Queen, I will declare it mandatory that once a day, every day, every single person must go outside and do a naked cartwheel or it’s off with their head. Can you imagine how much better this world would be if that was the law?  Picture your grouchy neighbor, putting down his cigar and grumbling out to his… Read More ▶

Little Badass of the Week – This Stiffy’s For You

I think any special occasion should be celebrated while pretending to be Jessica Rabbit and playing Big Buck Hunter.  It's also the perfect way to give the dirty old men at Otto's Shruken Head a thrill and a stiffy.

Today is Wednesday, Official Little Badass Day, and our most recent entry comes from a chick my brother Steve works with named Brittany. I’ve never met her but I think she exhibits lots of pizazz, plenty of skin and admirable altruistic tendencies due to her concern for the needs of the dirty old men at Otto’s Shrunken Head – all… Read More ▶

Little Badass of the Week – Fro Sure

A couple years ago, some friends of mine from work dressed up for Halloween as "Sisters of the Penitentiary" roller derby team.  Since I had a habit of eating Kashi Crunch and yogurt almost every day for lunch, I decided to bad ass it all up. It was a really fun and crazy day on skates with my sisters that I'll never forget. It's so cool when you really love the people you work with.

This week’s Little Badass Award goes to Susan Touchette Aust, or Kashi Crunch, her rollerderby name.  L’il Kashi passed our rigorous screening process due to the fact that: a.) She appreciates and salutes the fact that working with people you love is the cat’s banana b.) She went to my beloved Colorado College too c.) Anybody in a fro wig… Read More ▶
