Reincarnation is Here to Stay!!!

I didn’t publish this story until Tiffany herself happened to notice the incredible resemblence… had she not said anything, I’d never have published these photos, but she did, so I will.

A very large number of folks commented to me about that posting a few weeks ago. They were clearly confused by this obviously vintage photo of Tiffany Woodbury at the top of this blog, but it isn’t.

It’s in fact a vintage photo of my live-in girlfriend Tiffany Miller, taken in 1964. We were in our friends’ commercial kitchen at Nicola Twins Market. Les and Mike and Mike Jr. were longtime family friends. We called them “the Lebanese Butchers” and I met Danny Thomas and his daughter here. Tiff is wearing one of Jon’s originals!!!

I took these on our 1930s porch on Edgecliffe in Sunset Silverlake District of Los Angeles. We lived in a very luxurious and beautiful home designed by architect William Wrigley. The roof was curved and very expensive to repair, but worth every penny. The floors were polished hardwood, and all the fixtures were original with the house. We used to shop at the Wholesale Antique Mart — we had a resale license, of course, because Tiffany was a decorator and interior designer by trade, executive by demeanor, and a model by choice.

An Arm & A Leg???

Ooooh, (feminine squeaks & squeals) we had a great five minute photo session in town with Amy, showing my newest latest arm AND LEG designs for shamanic healers, but we only took snappers of the arms.

I’ll be doing lots of photos of my temp tats and body art as we go through the next season. Amy is a tattoo designer of note, and I hope to be able to work with her on my shamanic transfer tats, something I’ve been working on for the past seven years, but now, it’s the right time.

See, on the other side of the Shift, you didn’t see tattoos on virtually everyone you saw on the street, right? And now you do. Another sign of the Shift, but we tend to discredit our memories as soon as we pass, whether it’s a Shift or Death & Transfiguration. Continue reading

Tit for Tat

Here I am in my new Tat Parlor with some of my newest, latest tats. There’ll be more right next door, three shops in all. I’m wearing my cool face tat, which I’ll have for sale real soon. This is my first shop since 2013, and I’m very proud of it. My tats are all magickal in nature, not tribal or sexual.

I believe in “tit for tat”, my Dad Horace would introduce himself to a young lady back in the ’50s, “may I offer you some tat?”

Little did he know that tattoos would become the standard for Americans, that 90% of all kids born in 2014 will have tattooed faces, hands, torso, feet and genitalia. You’ll be able to pick off the Old Ones by their lack of tattoo. Continue reading

We Have Met the Enemy and He is Us

This was a very popular book back in the day of the Vietnam war, and is directed at same; yet the idea is so profound, it can be used to describe our psycho-emotional condition at any given moment.

How often have we heard the expression, “The Enemy Within”? We know from Shakespeare that every protagonist has within himself a “fatal flaw” which brings down kings, queens and dictators alike.

Wouldn’t you like a handle on that enemy within? Wouldn’t it be nice to conquer that self-destructive idiot that hides deep inside your darkest subconscious cavern?

Problem is, would you recognize the enemy if you saw him? And what if the enemy looked like you? What if the enemy was, in fact, you??? Continue reading
