Fish Lips

My name is Missy:

Cheeky monkey, scribbler, screwball, clutterbug, night owl, nerd, & crybaby.

I love belly laughter, books, light cast by birthday candles, and when I die I'd like to come back as a corset. I have 2 beautiful babies, Ashton & Sadie, the little candy apples of my eye. My husband is my oxygen, my children are my vitamins, & friendship is the fuel of my existence. James Marsters & Joaquie Phoenix rock my wacky li'l world & I'm cuckoo not for cocopuffs but for Milla, Marilyn, movies, mail, freckles, and the endless charm of yellow.

A handful of my heroes are Albert Einstein, Jim Henson, Joss Whedon, Super Grover, Mia Farrow, Amelia Earhart and Drew Barrymore. Addictions include horror flicks, cameras, paper, alliteration, & thrifting. I live in pigtails, go to work in my pajamas, and swear that chocolate milk runs through my veins. In short, you could sum me up by saying I have a cluttered heart, my head in the clouds, & a crush on every god damn thing that moves. :)

More Me-Junk for the curious:

I'm a small town girl who'll probably always be happy staying close to home, but if I were still single & not already blissfully tied down to the husband of my wildest dreams & the disgustingly perfect kids we produced, I'd pack my bags & live like a gypsy. I really feel conscious every moment of how fast life moves & quick it can end so from the second I get out of bed every morning to the minute I lay my head on the pillow at night I try to do as much living & loving as I can, right down to each sentence I write or way I wear my hair. I like to consider myself Buddhist, but I believe in God & just about everything else. The simple Buddhist lifestyle & mind frame is my ultimate goal, though as someone with such a scattered mind who acquires new mental & material junk each day, I've a long way to go for that. I rarely ever buy clothes new & collect everything from vintage squeak toys to bizarre or striking images from magazines for my journals, collages, & insatiable greed for beauty. Besides my family, food & friends are my LIFE. Nothing beats a giant plate of something scrumptious or a friend to goof around, giggle & gab with - or better yet - both at the same time! I just wish the majority of mine weren't spread across the globe. I find it impossible to be bored, even without a soul or book around for miles, for I can always climb inside my head & feel content there with the disarray inside. Whether it's dreaming up my next tattoo or just getting lost in how lovely the sun is hitting something, I never run out of things to ponder. I love people. Watching them, studying them, memorizing their ways & their wonders, but still know how to appreciate being by myself. I've been a loner & a misfit as far back as my mind will take me & kinda love that quiet & the space. Could spend my life in a library, movie theater, darkroom, art store, or anywhere with an ocean view & have far too much of my time & heart tied-up in good TV & favorite celebs. Still, my strongest addictions are laughing, thinking, growing, and in life, I draw my deepest inspiration from anyone who really understands how lucky they are to be here on this crazy fucking planet. :)

Much love to all flickrites. <3

    "So I've followed my dear Boopsie on Flickr for quite some time. Her photos are so lively and...well, happy. One of my favorite things to look at is her home decor around the holidays. It's so adorable and makes me wish I was her neighbor, haha. Although I know I could hardly compete with her. The play-on-words she uses are great and I love how each one of her photos can brighten up the greyest day.

    Stay jolly, Missy. The world needs more artists like you!
    And if you ever need a partner in crime-
    I will kneel before your crafty feet, haha."

    She is such a giving person in the photo's she shares with us and in her comments to others. A rare and wonderful creature."

    "Missy is Ohhhh Emmmmm Efffing Geeee! Think triple layer chocolate fudge brownie cake with lashes of whipped cream adorned with a million juicy strawberries and a billion multicolored sprinkle stars. If you can picture that then you are sort of (but not really) close to imagining the deliciousness that is Miss Boopsie Daisy. She is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, the bright beaming ray of sunshine that pokes through the clouds after a massive thunderstorm, the pink icing on your favorite cupcake. Missy spreads love and joy and laughter and heart flutters all over the globe with her beautiful bright and colourful photography. She makes dolly lovers SWOON and SIGH (and die!) with her freaking amazing boopsie daisy dollies. I really just cannot get enough of this girl!!! She is one of my favourite people on the planet. I admire her like woah and feel so inspired by her talent not to mention LUCKY as HELL that I get to know this sweetie sweet sweetheart! xxxxxx oooooo"

    Don't fade away, darlin'.

    Missy is absolutely sunshine personified.
    It's hard for me to put into words just
    how special she is and how much she means to me.
    She touches your heart and leaves a mark
    so powerful it's hard to deny.
    She is absolutely one in a million.
    It would be hard-pressed to find anyone quite like her.
    And that is so refreshing.
    Breath of fresh air refreshing.
    She is Giving. Understanding. Compassionate.
    Brilliant. Beautiful. Breathtaking.
    She is a such a gentle, kind soul.
    She is a wonderful momma to her two absolutely beautiful as can be children.
    She is an extraordinarily talented photographer.
    Her creativity is unmatched.
    Her photos transport you into this otherworldly dimension of
    rainbows and sunshine and everything that is good in this world.
    She makes you smile.
    She makes you gasp with delight.
    She makes you thank the heavens up above for
    just being HER.
    She is Missy.
    And I am so, SO lucky to call her my friend.
    Love you so much, sweet girl.

    Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie

    The boopsie.daisy can 'cause she mixes it with love
    and makes all of Flickr taste good

    The boopsie.daisy makes everything she bakes satisfying and delicious
    Now you talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes.
    And I bet her cameras are made of candy too! Yum!

Well I could say that, but then I could say the sky is green, women like football better than men, and Brittany Spears is the greatest singer of all time. So if I must tell the truth then I must say she is one of the greatest souls to ever walk this earth, that her sainthood is automatic, and a day without something from her is too bleak to bear"
