How Kat von D can change your life - must read!

I am honoured to share this link with all of you. Let me introduce you Liz Worth, an awesome writter who started her blog last year, The Radio Forest.
She has written books about punk history in Canada and poetry. Reading her blog I've enjoyed one of the most inspiring posts I've read about Kat von D recently, very good structured and a bit controversial about the role of TV in pop culture. Good point!

Her post is entitled How Kat von D can change your life and I agree in each and every point that she remark of her personality as inspiring. I want to take the chance to thank her for mentioning my blog in her post. Honoured.


I  think that muses can come in many forms. For me, this time, it came through a TV screen. 

Here is a bit of what you'll further read when you click on the link above:
It wasn't long before I started following Kat Von D on Twitter and one of the first tweets of hers that popped up was about a chandelier she was going to be working on after she finished her last tattoo of the day. And I thought, a chandelier!? That's amazing! Because it is. I mean, how many people do you know get off work to go and make a chandelier? How many people do you know would even try to make something like that?

I agree with Liz because those are the facts that made me become a fan of hers: She works hard but not too hard, she is creative and makes things by herself, thinking outside the box. She's one of a kind.



It's the people who do whatever it takes, whatever works for them at that moment, that really resonate. They give us hope and optimism. They make all the hard work we're putting in seem worth it, because when we hear their stories we know we aren't the only ones who are hustling.
...
Kat Von D is someone who took the hard road to become a tattoo artist. She followed her heart, even when people close to her didn't approve, and that's a hard thing to do. And now, she's not only a tattoo artist, but makes art, draws with kids at a local hospital, has a fashion and makeup line, and has published two books.
...

For me, Kat Von D has been a very surprising kick in the ass when it comes to not letting some of my favourite things slip away.
