Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Devilgirl


I'm a freelance copywriter and journalist living in Hollywood, CA. Born and raised in Chicago, I originally moved here in '83, then lived in New York and New Orleans before moving back to L.A. a few years ago. My interests include yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, independent and foreign films (the more obscure the better), Thai and Indian food, soccer, Monty Python, good radio aka Indie103.1 and Trueoldieschannel.com and browsing E-bay for obscure punk and glam records and weird retro items like black-light posters. I've written music reviews and articles for Earcandymag.com , Rock Confidential.com , Sleazegrinder.com , Entertainment Today .. , Perfect Sound Forever, Unpop, Suite101.com,Cover,and many other sites and publications. I also write EROTICA , and my stories and poems have been featured in hundreds of zines, web sites and anthologies over the past 20 years. See my website Jade Blackmore.com for links to my books and more info. My music & entertainment blogs are at Quirkyzine and The Slums Off Hollywood Boulevard

My Interests

"The saddest thing is if at the end of your life you say 'I wish I did' or 'Why didn't I?' You have to go after it with full gusto in life, whatever it is, go after the stupidest whim, because you pass by once." - Gene Simmons

Some of my favorite quotes:
"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." -Hunter S. Thompson
"Life consists of what a man is thinking of all day."-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking.” -Buddhist Proverb
"Taking joy in living is a woman's best cosmetic." ~Rosalind Russell
"Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it." -Soren Kierkegaard
"I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful."-Marilyn Monroe
"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." -Coco Chanel
"A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others throw at him."- David Brinkley
"It's not who wants to sleep with you. It's who wants to sleep with you again - David Lee Roth
"I don't want to fight anymore. I just want to lay in the grass and be cool. " The Evil Wizard Glick, last episode of The Monkees
"People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own soul. -Carl Gustav Jung
"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde
"Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself."-Henry Miller
"Boys may come and boys may go/ And that’s all right you see/ Experience has made me rich/ And now they’re after me" - Madonna, Material Girl
"I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you..."George Michael, Careless Whisper
When Tug McGraw was asked whether he preferred artificial turf or grass, he replied: "I don't know, I never smoked Astroturf."

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the end, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway." -Mother Teresa

"Cast your pearls before swine/leaves you nothing every time..."
"Savin'All My Jam Just For You" -Honcho Wonko
