The folks that brought you the Freaker stopped by the office today to throw us a grilled-cheese party!
retaining its title for The Most Amazing Tidepools I've Ever Seen...Boiler Bay on the Oregon coast. I'd get up early for this any day.
This was the first time I'd ever seen a sun star. It's related to a star fish but has 20 (!!!) arms and moves a lot faster (meaning you can actually see it move unlike a star fish). It was HUGE (over a foot in diameter) and it looked to me like something that wants to attach itself to your face and suck the life out of you. just a thought...
The freak cabinet of Naturhistoriska museet in Göteborg.
Showing different oddities. I had to photograph the jar with the conjoined human twins. This is old, from mid of 1800's. It is real thing. When I was a little child I was terrified of this, but always had to walk there to see! :) Now I feel inspired to make a miniature one out of clay. someday.

WHAT IS FREAK SHOW?
"""SL is a vanity universe. As plodding ants we build our perfect bodies, with precision and paranoia, day by day, like little gods of ourselves. We create a b-side universe, convincing ourselves to be what/who we have done.
Nothing original, nothing particular. It's the research of Beauty, of Perfection, whatever form or nature it has got.
This small parallel world allows us to do what we want and it gives us never-ending possibilities.
Flying, teletransporting, join groups made up people from different countries and culture. But it's not enough.
SL gives birth to Art. Digital art, graphic art, less appreciated, less recognized, less welcome.
During my tour around SL I've met every kind of people. And I have to tell you: human beings in SL are the same in RL. With just one exception. The Artists.
Cause SL is a "popular" game, where everybody can create Art. The employ exhibits in one of the most important galleries of Metaverse; the housewife becomes one of the most important visionary artists ever seen; the shy girl has thousands of views on Flickr.
And I, Loglady Loon, want to challenge them all.
The research of Beauty, the obsession for Perfect Avatar. Perfect man, perfect woman. This common vision nauseates me.
For this reason I tried to do the opposite process.
I wanted to create a Nightmare. I've forced artists to think in opposite sense: leaning toward the Macabre. Generating the Ugly.
And the most interesting thing is that this process seems to be more "palpable", more plausible, more human. But it's not enough. I wanted to dehumanize the process and at the same time I wanted them to think about the humanization of a piece of life so much immaterial that could generate similar and opposite thoughts about our reality.
Here the Freak comes to life.
Made inhuman by his look, the Freak man comes down toward a Nightmare. Because he's alone, because he's unique, because he's tremendously original. And this idea could be useful for us too, cause through this project we can put ourselves in a virtual Elephant Man's shoes and think about how the concept of Beauty brakes our wishes, how it carnally and mentally blocks ourselves into a state of Social Paranoia encompassed in a ecomonic scheme that pressures us to do what someone else thinks it's better for everyone.
Self-improvement is masturbation, Palahniuk said. But we are too addicted to reason in a healthy way. And so, let's join to Arts, the last shelter for weak and introspective people.
The Freak Showroom originates from here.
Guidelines are simple: all artists has to create a Freak-Avatar, respecting and reflecting the reality, the history and the culture inside this phenomenon; afterwards they had to create a digital opera, a free, cathartic, genuine one.
All most important artists of Metaverse joined the project, from different countries, social or cultural level. TV and virtual newspapers have been pleasantly stimulated, many people I've never met joined the project and helped me.
Lack of Beauty Paranoia induced the artists to feel themselves free, to let themselves go, testing "stream of consciousness", an experience that we must feel as more as possible. It's only when the mind has no limits or schemes that it's able to Create truly.
We are too grown up for being genuin, but desire still exists, and in my opinion this is the most important thing.
Showroom setting is, obliviously, a circus. Interely made for the show by a great builder, Miss Asenath Rossini, Time Warp Circus will give hospitality to more than 60 artists from different countries, in Jacopo Perenti's ModalSL-Freak Show SIM.
Show will be available for 15 days and it will start on 2nd February 2009.
In a world in which you can have "one, no one and hundred thousand" identities, you are finally free to create something only for yourself, tremendously for yourself. It could be seen as a "revenge" of Second Life, versus the cultural mediocrity of real world. We have been able to surpass the hypocrisy wall against ourselves, carrying a precious baggage full of feelings and emotions that we will never forget.

One of my favorite parts of the museum is a tent housing the "Freak Show" - old, decrepit statues depicting famous people who had been circus "freaks".
Circus World Museum, Baraboo, WI
I freaked around with Photoshop after reading several tutorials. This is a collage of the most liked Holiday-pics taken during my last stay in Fuerteventura,Canary Islands.
Circus Freak Girl asks you to come join the Circus of Deadlocked Girls! But wait, she is no freak you say, she is pretty! Ha! I joke!
(This is my favourite joke)
Yeah, I know, there are so many 'Keep Calm And Carry On' spoofs out there and we are all a little tired of it. But I just had to add this one. Because, you know, I am much more a freak out then keep calm kinda girl.
