coffee with gloria is from a time in the 70's when my friend GERArD said '' i should have my own tv(cable) show'...and we would have guests that just left the clubs of nyc...so it would be early morning...we are here to talk about, life, art, music, books, people, share your thoughts and be free...no need to worry about being censored....and i love photos as well....we journal, we create, we sing,dance,play our music loud and have a thought on everything,and we love to be heard.

monday, monday....
another dreary day.....i hate deary weather.....just rain already or snow.....countdown to moving, i am hoping that i can start to move on wednesday....i am up to my neck in boxes, i can't even pack anymore as i am running out of run to walk......my bedroom has become grand central (yeah don't i wish} cuz the living room is piled high with boxes......if you were blind you would kill yourself....so since we can't fast forward to wednesday, we have to take it on day at a time........
so i have come of an age, where they just don't make the kind of clothes i want to wear everyday....and now that i don' have a real job.....i am just an arTist.....ha....i have taken to altering and up cycling clothes....now for those of you that know me...know i have some style rules....i like black, and no matter how many time i try to wear colorful clothes i always come back to black.....i have some color for accent.....i will live in leggings for the rest of my life....i don't even own a pair of jeans.....hate them.....i love t' shirts and have been cutting mine up since the 70's only we didn't have books back them to tell you how.....we just cut them and pinned them back together.....i pretty much do the same thing now although i have added stitches and beads......i like long tops.....and jackets.....silver, metal, studs, pearls,leather, lace, whips and chains.....i love cowboy boots and only wear real cowboy boots from texas.....i love good bags and shows.....and i can rock just about anything.....now i like to wear sweater type things.....and lately when i shop(maybe cuz i can't afford top designer clothes anymore) oh i can and i do....but at this point once again i have to stop listening to what other people say and dress the way i want.....and in the summer i only mostly wear dresses.
Ok back to the picture....i am up cycling clothes now, so i had this over sweater...dare i say it got to tight.....so i cut it down the middle and a little on the side seams and i got my jar of black vintage buttons and using them as trim......i have a stack of clothes i want to alter, but they are packed away....i have not really sewn in years.....but boy can i sew and make stuff.....so that is what is up for now.......see ya soon.......
