yesterday while I was on my way to Petco with Bear, i happened to end up behind a car that had the most epic bumper sticker that read 'I <3 Crack Whores'. and then i realized i had on my 'Don't Smoke Crack' shirt from Call Your Mother (now on sale for $10...get it HERE). i just had to share because it cracked me the fuck up yesterday...

all of my friends and all the king's horsemen all know that i have a huge issue with censorship. it was a huge battle for myself in my 20s until i decided to recently say 'fuck censorship' and own my truth and be exactly who i am. i always compartmentalized my gemini tendencies which can be quite polarizing. i had my whole science, business, professional self that would earn my income and then i would have this whole artistic, creative, sexual self that would feed my soul with the fire i needed to evolve. in my 20s i never could really show all of myself to most of the people in my life and there were only a few people around me that really accepted me and appreciated all sides of me. there were always people telling me to censor my art or censor my behavior. i am not the kind of woman to go and swing from the chandelier and be destructive and dramatic at events. how i choose to dress or express myself artistically should not interfere in others day to day activities unless those activities involve their own preoccupation with myself. so after a couple relationships failed because i was trying to quit my art for the guy (which is part of my true self, so that way never going to work), i decided that in order to truly be happy and find my own place in this world i must say FUCK CENSORSHIP...

So, at the last #MWINetwork event, I had the opportunity to throw my name in the (hopefully Henschel) hat for the official Explore St. Louis Summer Ambassadorship for 2015 by making the following little video where I talk about why I love to explore St. Louis. Please check it out and head on over to the following link and vote for me (June Ann D'Angelo) by scrolling to the bottom of the page.
