Being a huge fan of the 80′s (a teen at the time) I’ve always enjoyed the hair metal music from the era. One of my favorite bands was, and still is, Motley Crue. It’s been interesting, to say the least, to see them perform then and now. Not much has changed…they still put on a kick ass show!

This summer I decided to get back to my book~worming days of the past, and picked up Nikki Sixx’s “This Is Gonna Hurt” on a whim. It was a link on my Amazon page and I had a gift certificate. Win win. Well, I’m more then happy I chose it. Not only is it an interesting biography but a book full of dark and brooding photography. The kind that makes you stop and look whether you want to or not. My BA was in photography and one of my favorites was Joel-Peter Witkin. Nikki’s work has a taste of Joel along with so much more. The combination of reading about his surreal life along with his newfound love of photography was a hit with me!

Since then I have followed his tumblr page… I recommend you check it out. Yet another awesome bookmark to add to my creative archives! Enjoi~ LP
