I was trying to find a new way to waste time when someone invited me to join twitter. So any other twits out there hit me up. I see it as an opportunity to talk shit about everyone at the shop and make fun of customers, so I give it a thumbs up. The other bonus is that it's just sending text messages no uploading pictures and all that other stuff you have to do for those other sites we're all on. Oh and my user name is MichelleMyles all one word.

"The smell of greasepaint, wild beast, sugary treats, western saddles and burnning gypsy witch candles, old damp canvas.... on dirt, on asphalt, on an african priestess in Brooklyn in 1965, her black leather panties in his liquored hand, the hot biker roustabouts gripping wrenches, working violently all night long....."
Not your average perfume sales pitch. This is an excerpt from the newly launched Carnival Wax website brewed by my friend Agatha Bloise.(www.CarnivalWax.com)
Agatha is best know for her leather work . She is a world renowned designer and craftswoman. But to me she is one of my favorite people. When I first moved to New York in 1990 I spotted Agatha in a crowd at some show. She had Motorhead tattooed across her shoulders in giant black letters, all of a sudden my little tattoos weren't so tough. A few years later when I had just started tattooing on my own I actually got to meet Agatha and traded her a tattoo for a pair of pants.....
In honor of Chucks pending move to Atlanta we headed over to Mason Dixon Bar for a little fun. A few of us ended up on the mechanical bull and I think it's safe to say that I, Michelle Myles am the Daredevil Bull Riding champion. That's right, I beat the boys. Although I did watch Celebrity Bull Riding on TV so I might of had an edge. Luckily there's a video, you decide.
