Collaboratrix

A collaborator, catalyst, muse and dominatrix mixed into one.

Someone you ad or bring into the mix at an early stage of creative development when you feel something is missing but you just don't know what.

A confidante who will inspire you to get out of bed in the morning and start what you finished, or make something new and even better.

A modern-day artist's muse who actually gets some credit (rather then the tortured silent suffering uncredited muses of yesteryear.)
Coca-Cola employed a major ad agency to develop their new campaign but it wasnt until a collaboratrix was called into the office, that the team really got their pitch together.

A collaboratrix catalyses ideas in the people she agrees/decides to work with.

A collaboratrix's work involves brainstorming, goal setting, bringing out the best in people and being spontaneious.

The talented genius worked alone in his little studio painting everyday, once he met a collaboratrix his art was taken to a whole new level- global exhibitions, magazine spreads and a lot of buzz followed.

The collaboratirx is more goal focused andbossier then an old-fashioned muse.

To be a collaboratrix you have to be able to put your ego to one side and focus on win-win ideas and solutions.

low-fi

Something creative made cheaply, independently or on a very low-budget.
Checkout my latest low-fi music video on youtube.

I've been playing around with a drum machine and some broken old toy instruments to create a very low-fi sound.

Low-fi means more inventiveness and less pressure.

I'm putting together a last minute low-fi multi-media gig for SXSW- you never know who might show up.

kitsch

Collectible, nostalgia inducing products, artworks or people.
At some point mass produced and at a later point rising in value and sentimentality.
Souvenires, paraphernalia and memorabilia.
written off as junk by the untrained eye. Appreciated as naive and beautiful by those wityh a discerning eye and a refined sense of aesthetic.
The artwork of Jeff Koons, David La Chappelee and Pierre et Gilles is so Kitsch!

Essentially anything collectible is Kitsch.

At first glance this may seem like a pile of junk, but it is actually a large collection of collectibles and kitsch which people will probably pay a lot of money for on ebay.

Hooping

To spin hula hoops for fun, for exercise or as a performance.
The last time I went raving, I couldn't believe how many people were hooping!

I love hooping it is way more fun then going to the gym and it totally tones my abs.
