norma kamali INCENSE

December 24, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

The closest I’ll ever get to a rollercoaster is this playground right here. Steel pipes dragon back their way across a mulch filled pit. Logs, gray from weather, connect the pipes, going up and down, up and down. Finding this quiet playground had me ecstatic just moments ago. I was sitting on the lowest log at my highest point. The shadow play and textures were amazing. I photographed what was in front of me and behind me. I wanted to […]

amouage INTERLUDE MAN

December 24, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

Every time I click “view video” I get re-directed to a black screen. Maybe the internet is telling me to look up – to take a pause from porn. “There’s nothing you will see that you can’t achieve yourself. With your intelligence and creativity, all you need to do is grab a pair of scissors and a few sheets of paper; you don’t even have to cut – you can origami your way to climax.” I click the link a […]

etat libre d’orange RIEN

December 24, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

She shuffled her collection of holiday cards on the counter in front of me, selected one, and gave it to me, with a nudge. There was a chubby penguin on the front wrapped head to toe in a scarf. I only knew it was a penguin because there was webbed feet at the bottom plus a beak peeking out through one of the scarf folds. I nodded in approval and returned the card. She put it back in my hands […]

slumberhouse NORNE

December 21, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

Guadalupe screamed at me from the bathroom, “ROSA! ROSA! Joo need a chower!” I pay this woman $140 for 3 hours every two weeks to clean my studio apartment and to remind me that I need to clean myself as well. She’s caught on to the clues that I haven’t bathed: the deodorant that’s been sitting on the bathroom shelf for weeks – lid off but protective film strip still on, the hair-drawing-less subway tiles, the missing soap scraps, the […]

amouage MEMOIR MAN

December 19, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

Her face was covered in scabs. They were as bright and permanent as her skin-tight clothes. “The doors are wet. They’ve just been refinished. Be careful as you’re walking around. That’s why it smells in here. You might get high.” I was already tipsy from my skin soaking in absinth since morning. I sat my bags down. “An additional benefit.” The husband perked up, showing a coffee and nicotine stained grin through a thick, brown beard. “’An additional benefit.’ Yeah, […]

humiecki & graef SKARB + tang

December 14, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

In the juice aisle at the supermarket, overdressed, oversprayed, and under-entertained: Brother #1: Let’s buy Tang, mom. LOOK! It comes in a pouch! Brother #2: WOW. Tang in a pouch? I like that – I   REALLY   LIKE   THAT. Each picks up a box of Tang. Brother #1 grabs classic Orange. Brother #2 grabs Tropical. Each places their choice into the shopping cart. Mom: Boys, only one. You gotta pick one. The boys argue. Mom: You guys are […]

etat libre d’orange SÉCRÉTIONS MAGNIFIQUES

December 13, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

My nose burns. Every orifice is leaking. I’m crying, pissing, and shitting. It all comes out easily, and it rarely comes out easily. I’m thirsty for water. I never drink water. I close my eyes to hold back the tears; they escape, along with thoughts of snorting coke off a baby’s freshly powdered tush. I smell baby everywhere – that sweet, milky scent that makes you want to keep the baby and bake cookies to celebrate. I’m still shitting. It’s […]

slumberhouse JEKE

December 12, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

The carbon monoxide detector is functioning and quiet – same with the smoke detector – yet room after room is thick with phantoms. I run for my safety, for my life. I play my own heroine, taking the chinchillas, the sugar glider, and other important things (like an apple and lip gloss) to my car for a quick escape. I don’t have any money but I have thousands of dollars worth of clothing, shoes, and accessories. The escape becomes less quick. I […]

confession

December 11, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

For some unknown reason I spend the day confessing: to my penpal, to my blog, to myself. I watch all the movies I deny that I take pleasure in and state aloud, “I love this movie. It makes my heart sing. It makes me happy.” I tell my penpal about a plan to breakup with someone I’m not even with. I blog these mind blowing moments in my life and don’t do anything with them. They’re saved as drafts. A day is […]

terry

December 11, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

I looked up Terry’s address. Bad neighborhood. I put on Slumberhouse Baque to smell like rotting fruit and tobacco. Maybe I can fool the street dogs into believing I’m walking compost so they won’t attack. It doesn’t work. I smell right (wrong) but am dressed too preppy. They can see right through my Michael Stars white and navy striped sweater with yellow boat neck collar. Terry doesn’t have a doorbell. I form indentations on my knuckles knocking on his black […]
