Someone left this comment in my blog, don’t know what post it was meant for, but it was hiding in the back. I just found it.

 Thanks ‘Torily’

‘You have appear to have the creativity gene in abundance. Have been thoroughly entertained by your site and by your wonderful outlook on life. I think you would have been a very famous artist’s muse in a previous life (Dora Marr). It is true – sex and creativity are expressions of the same thing: of passion fulfillment and enjoyment. ‘

Funny you should say that, I have been posing for an artist recently.

I have the biography of Picasso, the one by Arianna Stassinopoulos (now Huffington, she of  The Huffington Post blog) so I know who Dora Maar was…’the weeping woman’ . Picasso was quite awful to her though…!

Hehe, see what I’ve made..A ‘Dollychino’, complete with chocolate sprinkles..

Tastier than Starbucks, Costa, Caffe Nero, etc.. 

The staff  here (that will be just me, then) have more fun for you, you know so!

Do you want a stuffin’, sorry, muffin with that?

So I went down to the tattoo shop, and took a load of books in a wheely trolley.. (they were so heavy)

And so we chatted for a while and looked at other ideas, and final decisions were made! I am not going to attempt any coverage of what I have, but get some recolouring of them, and add some nice pretty Japanese style waves and flowers.

One half arm…3 x 3hr sessions, AAARGGH!  9 hrs for one arm!  11th May.

The other arm will take longer too, but that will be later. I need 2wks healing time inbetween sessions.

On a pain scale of 1-10, ’1′  being stabbing your finger with a needle, and ’10′  being amputation with no anaesthetic, tattooing is about 7. Well that’s what I think..ouch.

He drew on my arms with coloured pens to get an idea of what it will look like, and I am very very pleased!

My ideas of peacocks and stained glass are still going to appear at some time though, I will save that idea for another day…..it needs its own space.

Do you know what I have been doing? Getting out my more glamorous dresses and sewing/adding fancier LONGER sleeves so I can still be safe and discreet in a restaurant! See? Still thinking of you..hehe.

And then, after all this! ….I will get a big spiders web on my neck. Joke…

After years of thinking about it, searching far and wide, I have to tell you that I have found ‘The One’ …

‘The One’ who will be entwined with me till death, ‘The One’ who will literally wipe away my blood, sweat and tears…

Yes, they were Chosen….. Especially Chosen…….

Thee Tattooist!

I wrote a big post about it aeons ago, I have finally found the one.

It’s a him.

See, you can’t have ‘just anyone’  ink you forever, it needs to be.. ‘just so’.  Moreover, I am much more difficult to work with now, considering that I already have large tattoos to incorporate. A difficult task if ever there was!

I would have liked G to add to me… G was my first tattooist, he died of meningitis in his early 40′s…just a few years ago too.

A hilarious gent, whom you would never deem a  tattooist at all. Shirt, tie, suit, cufflinks, tidy haircut…he was covered from the neck down! Really nice man, a good friend too. He taught me to tattoo! I have limited exp though at this time.

And no one ever saw his, apart from other tattooists. He showed me his arms once, and showed me photos of his back and legs. He travelled the world to find the right people.

I have trusted my instinct in many things, and it has always worked well for me, so I am confident of letting this new man.. mark me forever. I have trawled many places in UK, and I actually found him here, in London.

I walked into Frith St Tattoos again…. for the 3rd time in a month, and he just stood out. I earwigged the conversation, I just knew he was the one, within 2 mins!  But I mooched about for ages, looked at the portfolios (very tempted by all the artists actually) and kept listening to him talking to someone else.  I just liked him, I just knew he would be right. I just knew. No sales pitch, said it like it is, all the real stuff, which I already knew….he ticked my boxes.

I had a short list including  Nicole Lowe, Mr X (both have huge waiting lists, but V. recommended if you’re looking) for detailed shading and strong sense of personal style.

It’s not that I hate mines….. I have NEVER regretted being tattooed, EVER!  It was never done on a whim in the first place. A new interpretation is in order…

I always KNEW that I would do this, much to my parents horror. I used to draw on myself with felt tips when I was really young. I had never seen tattoos then, and when I discovered them a bit later, I was agog, and knew that it was for me. I had a strong urge to be decorated permanently. Something about the ‘cavewoman’ in me? Hahaha..(bet you would like that cavewoman bit, huh!)

As much as I apply my red lips with a magnifying mirror in front of me…I am but a woman.

You also do it everyday, you shave, or you trim parts, you dress just..so. You present yourself, you comb, you preen, you are not aware, but you do as much as women do. It’s human nature…

So.. back to the tattoos…. I didn’t finish off what I started, I am annoyed that they are not yet symmetrical.

And this year they will be!

Hurrah!

I have to wait on him till May-ish.

I will wait.

I am so nervous too! I have no idea what a modern machine feels like…..

Oh Tattooist,  it’s been 22yrs since my last ‘confession’ ie, the needle.

They will be much bigger too, but of course.. it has to be. My ideas of the past few years..peacocks and stained glass, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Rene Lalique, Louis Comfort Tiffany.  I could live with some kind of hybrid/amalgamation forever. Perhaps add again in 22yrs time!

You won’t see it on pics online, you will only see if you choose to visit me…

New man and I had a good chat, and I am going on Wednesday for the proper consultation. I am taking a pile of relevant arty books for ref, and he was keen at that idea.

The right man is the one who…listens. And hears. Tattooists included.

Just one of the things that kept me from you in the past weeks!

Other things..some emails and texts/calls asking if I’m ok?….

I have just had opportunities with timescales, and I simply must grab them!

All is great at Dollymopp Mansions, dontcha worry!

New strings to bows take time…learning cut throat razor, (very exp!) searching getting tattooed, (exp!)  new fangled sewing machine (loads of past pro exp, but maybe a new line of Dollymopp Design lingerie?) learning photography et al..

Relearning the new way of tattooing may be in there too…

And do you see…erm…it all comes back to Dollymopping in the end…

In the words of Bryan Adams..’Everything I do, I do it for you…’

Oh smell the..

Hey Stella, it’s by Aubrey Beardsley, a well known Art Nouveau illustrator..you can look him up now and find lots of naughty drawings like this!

Ages ago, the famed Banksy used to have a public blog, and myself and another lady used to have a wee chat now and again. He was quite keen on her, hehe. It was quite open to read, so I am not spilling beans here..He wasn’t as famous as he is now, and no, I don’t know what he really looks like, and even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you! I think he would do the same with us too.  Except you know what I look like..ach, you know what I mean.

So one day aeons ago, ..I was in Soho, and I saw this book ‘Wall and Piece’.

I said, ‘I have just been in Soho and I recognised your stuff on the front of a book, you never told me about this! You have a book! I bought it too.’

How cool that he never said anything, I, myself would be shrieking from the rooftops if I had a book! But then again, I am an uncool geek.

So he says, ‘I’ll buy your book too when it comes out.’

Awwww, you say the right fings…

You will have a long wait, Banksy!

So…I thought that his dark humour would maybe appreciate my amateur *blatant advert for dollymopp* attempts at a master craft. I did plan this ages ago, but I take ages to execute plans. I have an overloaded plug socket of ideas in my head all the time, so stuff waits till I unscramble my brain, and stuff pops out when I feel like it.

A few weeks ago…I had heard of ‘the tunnel’ a legal graffiti site exhibition of street art by www.blankexpression.org a show of street artists, and a faded Banksy was there, so I hit that with my little stencil cut out pieces, me in a hoodie and jeans, 4.30 am, my spray cans, crap camera (feared my digi being mugged in the cul de sac at that time)

I didn’t want anyone watching me, I felt quite shy! I thought if another cool graffiti dude was there, he might say, oh you are rubbish! So I left my house at 4am!  

It was re done last weekend, bigger pieces, more detailed, none of that ‘just spray your name tag’ stuff, (the inane stuff you see and what makes you hate graffiti) just some amazing art instead. Really well done and thoughtful. Even painted car wrecks.

So if you are reading me Banksy, have a giggle at my themes, and watch those rats!

Leake St/Lower Marsh entrances at Waterloo, see if you can spot my little ‘additions’ to others work too.

I sprayed over my name after, cos I was shy..

With this new fangled update, the pic links aren’t playing with me.. so just writing just now! There are 3 ways to upload, none are doing it right. When I press ‘insert pic’ it comes up as a white box with a red X. I will be sorted soon enough!

What I wanted to tell you..ages ago, I had an idea for a full length cartoon strip of me, and it is almost done! I was doing the bubble script a few hours ago and sent it off to my artist.

Now I bet you are thinking, but she says..she is an artist?

I cannot, for the life of me, do cartoons. Or I would have done it myself!

I can do many art forms, but cartooning is something I’m a bit mediocre at, so I got a brilliant illustrator to do me!

And you are going to love it!

I mulled around on ideas of the story and then writing just the right amount of suitable script that would fit into a speech bubble.

I took ages to do that, not that it was difficult, I have just been busy with boys!

Oh and that new site that I keep threatening. And a million other things, non Dolly stuff too.

People think that ‘we’ are all ‘ladies of leisure’, but they don’t know what goes on behind the scenes, site stuff, new pics, writing writing writing, links, searching, adding, fixing pics, resizing, loads of work behind the scenes. It is almost a full timer job of sorts, the background stuff. But I love it! It is an on-going art project of my life experiences. I am so happy that I have support too.

All so you can have the pleasure of us!

 

Update! Richard of www.69design.co.uk has fixed me! Super fast! I can do pics again, see above and weep. Thank you me darlin’!

Was just talking about this earlier with a lush boy…

I have artwork by me, and I have sold some of it too..maybe I should have a page of my stuff? Here?

I am an art grad (so I’m not rubbish!) and sold all of my final project stuff, not for 1000′s…but of course I have other stuff too now.

Would you want to buy? I suppose that I would have to have a page to show you things first. See if you liked it.

In later years, I imagine/dream that some of us present ladies will be reffered to in books, as past ladies have been! There is much more information about us, and freely available to collate. We might be infamous one day!

Now I will tell you something rather shocking. Not odd by my standards, because I think, it’s me showing how comfortable I was/am with my boys.

When I was in my ‘Saturday job’ in the WG flat when I was at college… circa mid 1990′s ..I used to, erm…take the ‘evidence’ home with me, sometimes, to mix with paint…hahahha! Not everyone’s, just people I though might be comfy.

My work was very sexual and I liked to include my experiences, I wanted them to be in it too..

My tutors did ask me questions about my written work and art work, I told them that I interviewed girls in walk-ups in Soho, which of course I never did. I think 2 tutors really knew, but they never said anything..I was 29, and they left me alone. If I was 18 or so, they probably would have done/said something.

When I was mixing the paint, I thought, oh God, I’m like a cannibal/serial killer.. Keeping bits of the body…

Mines was a nicer way, and more like, homage. An honourable thing.

Bet you’re scared now..

Or a possible emission commission…immortalised or mortified!

I would ask, I did before, most said yes.

Imagine the historical refs in later years..!

I did a few self portraits, I used it then.

A Kind of Sexy…?

Off on a tangent now, hehe, do you ever remember that book…A Kind of Loving-Stan Barstow. I read it at school, I hated to be told what to read at school, but I love that book now.

 Education is wasted on the young. I didn’t go to uni till I was 27. It’s much better when you’re older, you are more focused and don’t mess about. Apart from messing about with er, sp…. and paint.
