Roulette Photo Journal - The Flower Shop Girl

The Flower Shop Girl

Once a time in a land there lived a Flower Shop Girl. Everyday she would wake up with the sun, grab her shears and cut some flowers to offer for her daily bread.

Every morning before work, she was grumpy, staring at her meager closet. Alas, she had nothing to wear. "I would like to find something I can wear all the time."She pondered.

Usually, mornings were busy, but today, not one person came for her flowers. It was already mid-afternoon and Elana still had full bunches. She was about to pack up and call it a day, when she heard a horse galloping down the path. Lo and behold, he brought that horse to a stop and Elana was a bit twitterpated by the sudden excitement!

"Aloha!" Elana managed to choke out with a smile. "May I offer you some flowers?"
"Why, yes, that would be kind of you." The good gentleman replied, wearing overalls and a cowboy hat. "How may I repay the kindess?"
"What are you able to offer?" Elana asked, looking down at her tattered clothes, embarrassed by her appearance.
"Forgive me, for I have not introduced myself properly, I'm Justin Drew, the Caviar of Body Art. I hand design Spiritual Suits for women to wear all the time. You can swim, work, and sleep in my suits. I would be honored to design one on you in exchange for these flowers. I am at your service, humble goddess."
"My, my... that would be a dream come true!" Elana smiled brightly. "My name is Elana Greene.  I am a World Citizen Flower Shop girl."
"How intriguing. I must be a World Citizen to see you then." Justin said, winking.
"Precisely."Elana stated.
After drawing for hours, her outfit was finally finished. She had never received such a precious gift before and was forever grateful. Justin and Elana even went to the Surfboard Disco later that day and celebrated by dancing!

From then on, Elana wakes up happy every morning, because she feels beautiful inside and out when she is reminded of the circuitry of life, the source, the inner peace and beauty light.

Body Art .... The Revolution ...

Taken from CNN  .. funny how normal body art has become. I liked this part of the article because it really does describe the transformation you go through when you have this experience. Sometimes I wish I could be covered in body art all the time .. well only Justin Drew body art ... the rest I find a bit cheezy and not as classy but that's just my opinion. I think it's great though to help people get out of their shell.

"Hernandez's favorite part of her art is sharing it with the crowd. Her models walk through the audience after a show, getting a ton of compliments. Sometimes, she uses hesitant friends as models. Afterward, they're almost never shy. "It's like they feel so protected by that little layer of art. It's magical."

Greco has seen the same phenomenon and credits the art form with breaking down many self-confidence barriers. One woman she painted had a scar on her stomach that she hated for years. After showing off her nearly naked body to a festival full of people, she came back to Greco's booth weeping.

"She felt like she could finally embrace her body," Greco said. "It's transformative in ways that we don't always understand for the person being painted. You execute it, and off goes your art -- it walks away to have a whole new life without you. Hearing the stories can be the most rewarding part of all."

"If you have one person tell you, 'Wow, you're beautiful,' that's a big day for you," Fray added. "But to have thousands of people gushing all over you, that can really change someone's life."

HERE's a Taste Of Justin Drew all over the country, on stages, on the street, at clubs, promotions,
you name it  ....we've done it....
