I'm in bed with a horrible throat infection, but felt bad since I haven't had the chance to blog, so here you go...thinking about moving? Kat Von D's vintage 1920's Hollywood home is up for sale. Only 2.5 million gets you a spanish style place with lots of character.

Kat Von D's Wonderland
I've posted on Kat before. There's no exciting, big news about her, but I've been wanting to visit her art gallery and thought you might too. The gallery is next door to High Voltage Tattoo, (better known as L.A. Ink), and is called Wonderland Gallery.
I went to a festival this weekend (The Pink Parlour, which wasn't that great, unfortunately), and Kat's gallery had a booth there. I got to see a sampling of some of the oddities and beauties she has for sale. I'm not into anything too dark or depressing, but do like some of the skulls, taxidermy, etc. (I know, I'm weird). Anyway, not only is there a fantastic selection of rare and different books, but there are strange apothecary products, jewelry, platform heels, and of course artwork to purchase.
If you're in or around L.A., you should definitely stop by. The address is: 1257 North La Brea Avenue West Hollywood, CA 90038. Tell them I sent you! **Oh, and by the way, the shoes she's wearing on the book cover are sold there too!

Kat Von D
You all know I have a passion for vintage things, but also love anyone who has a different or edgy style. Kat Von D has just that. Although she has more tattoos (many more) than I would ever want, I find her style to be rocker, edgy, and it really works for her.
I watch L.A. Ink all the time, and even visited the shop with my friend Judy. Corey Miller did 2 of my 4 tattoos (he works at the shop and is on the show). I love tattoos, and would probably have many more, if I wasn't a teacher, and needed to look professional most of the time. I have 4 of them...one on my lower back (the dreaded tramp stamp), a band of flowers around my big toe, faith on my foot, and a fleur de lis on my wrist. Most people who know or meet me would never think I had tattoos until I show them. I love that too. It's kind of like my little rebellious side.
Kat wrote a book last year showing pics of the many tattoos she has done, while giving us a sense of who she is. She grew up in Colton, CA, and was a troubled teen. She was artistic her entire life, and began tattooing at an extremely young age in a shop probably not really meant for girls.
She has been sober for over 2 years now, and continues to be successful with her make-up line, books, and tattooing. Here are some pics of Kat. Hope you all are having a great Monday!
Oh, P.S., I am very behind on responding to my comments. I plan to catch up today friends!
