Top 5 Crazy Performance Art Gifs

Peformance art is fun because it yanks the viewer out of their comfort zones and forces them to look at the world, an emotion, or anything in a very different light.

As I wrote the The Muse, I read, researched, and attended hoards of performance art. Some of it blew my mind. While a lot of it left me with my mouth open in shock. 

Here's my top 5 craziest performance art gifs 

Consider yourself cultured, after this viewing!! Lol. 

5. Milk Pour

4. Beauty Walk

3. Ice Cream

2. Playing with Knives

1.  ?????

Let's hope we've all been inspired from all of that! LOL!

Beyonce's Visual Album & What it may mean for the future

Beyoncé chose to release a visual album because she can see music.

What the hell is a visual album?

Apparently it is. . . 

Fourteen Songs with. . . 

Seventeen Videos

Believe it or not (especially with all these gifs of her), I'm not a hard core Beyonce fan. I do like some of her work and don't like the rest.

So...

At first I rolled my eyes at Beyonce's unique ability to. . .see music. But that was just hating. We all have a bit of hating fluid in us that flows through our veins when someone does something amazing. It's just what we choose to do once the hate fills us.

I decided to shake it off 

and truly look deeper into what she was saying. . .

Seeing Music

Do you see music?

I say sure. We must all see it at times. I have smells and complex memories triggered by a few notes from a song. If I play music while I sleep, vivid and elaborate dreams are birthed.

Music is a powerful thing. 

Many psychologist believe that music can alter your mood from happy to sad, depressed to empowered. Some therapist warn people about

choosing the type of music they play around themselves and their children.

Notes, lyrics, and rhythms can get in our head and breed many things.

It's why I try to stick with songs dealing with sex and positivity. . .because I like being nice and I LOVE SEX!

And this visual album appears to be a smörgåsbord on fun, fashion, art, confidence and sex. . .

But Visual Album. . .

The more I say it the more I'm getting excited about the possibilities. . .

Will more artists do this?

And how can a visual album translate in the literary world?

Whenever an artist does an innovative thing, I look at how I can steal and fix the idea for my own entertainment.

So what about a Visual Book?

Interactive novels exist, not many but a small amount. I've been playing with the idea of making the Santeria Habitat series interactive as well as creating a steamy interactive erotic romance. I just don't know how and believe the cost would be insane. . .

But this visual album is making me reconsider. . .

I think it would be amazing to read about a sex scene and visualize a sensual (done well) moment between the couple. . .

This world is moving forward with people who have stopped being afraid and simply dived into innovation without second guessing the disadvantages that can come their way.

I, myself, am beyond excited for Beyonce, her fans, the music world, and the possibilities for more

Here's a preview of one of her videos  from the visual album

The Art of Goodreads Reviewing: Tips from Baba

Floozie Kenya here.

This is a bit out of the norm, but I have a Fan Girl Crush on an artist. 
What art form you ask? 
Well. . .she's a Goodreads Reviewer.

And when I say reviewer, I'm not talking blogger or paid professional literary reviewer. 

Baba's After Ben review

She's just your typical book lover that post books that she loves on goodreads, nothing more, nothing less (well. . .it is more).

She's a GIF SORCERER! 

Baba's Liberating Lacey Review

She didn't make the GIFs, but she finds the best places to get images and places them in an artistic method.

Baba's Dark Tide Review

And even weirder about my obsession, she has never read any of my books. She doesn't read the genres I write in, so this is not some sort of promo author kiss ass guest post.

Baba's Leave Me Breathless Review 

 It is just that when she does a review I freaking want to hump her and then rush out to buy the book! I've bought almost fifthteen contemporary romances due to her.

Baba's Reaper's Property Review

In a normal day, I chat it up with Floozie Alica and it goes like this:


me: Did you see that review from Baba?
Alicia: Stop obsessing about Baba!!
me: ( I send the link to said review)
Alicia: oooooo  That is beautiful.  :-)

So, finally I said f*** it, and messaged her to give me some tips on her art (so that I can steal and incorporate them on mine. Bhahahahaha!).


So here she is. . . . . .BABA

Thanks Fantasy Floozies for your message and I feel kinda flattered. You know there are no special secrets at all. 

The only thing I can say is:

- Always Be Honest

- Be Passionate in Everything You Do (including writing reviews).

Baba's Breath on Embers review

I know that I write my best reviews for books that I truly loved or highly disliked. I know that I'm not a very diplomatic reviewer because I tell it how I see it and if people don't like my attitude then it's their loss. I don't need to please any author or reader. 

I want to be free to express the way I feel about a book.


- I love beautiful things like classic design/furniture, vintage stuff, black & white photography, architecture, flowers, shoes, g-star fashion, bags, etc.

I have a very good eye for beautiful things and I know what I like and what does not work out for me.

Baba's Exquisite review

Meaning, I don't add gifs at random. 

I want my reviews to look tasteful when it comes to color and style. Also, the gifs/pics should enhance my reviews, that's for sure. When I'm talking about a hot sex scene in my review then I sure won't be adding a pic that depicts a sweet kitty or flower. 

Baba's Sins and Needles review

Unfortunately though, we are very limited here on GR since plenty of gifs and pics have been flagged lately and I have to be very careful what I'm going to post.

So, maybe that makes a difference too and if not then I don't care either. 

First of all I write my reviews for myself and then I just hope that other people will appreciate them as well.

And last but not least...I love to add quotes. I'm a sucker for great quotes and it will always draw attention to the book. 

I can't even remember where I find the best gifs/pics. 

-All you have to do is use keywords, add the little term "tumblr" and start a search and there you go. 

This is huge. I mean you'll find millions of great pics and the only thing you need is TIME. In fact, you'll need plenty of time because it's very time-consuming to search for pics/gifs.

I guess that's it.


THANKS SO MUCH BABA FOR COMING ON! I LOVE YOU (in a non-strange way).
