Dreamyicons – Free Profile Icons for Live Journal

// May 25th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Alice in Chains, Blogging, Design, For Geeks, Graphic Design, Graphics, Ibdreamy, Icons, Live Journal, Personal Pictures, Personal Posts, Pictures, Useful, free


When I started really getting into the whole online social thing it all began with Live Journal and a community I started called Dreamyicons. We held icon contests based on themes. Now the community is just members posting icons that they’ve created..no more contests. So you’ll notice a lot of the icons have themes and you’ll also notice a lot of adult themed icons. I love pin-up art so.. I hope your eyes are not offended by sexy chicks.

Today I dragged all those old icons out of the closet and dusted them off. It’s been a couple years now since I made any new icons. Your free to use them for your journals, websites, Myspace, Twitter profile or what have you.

Amy Winehouse spotted..Topless & sporting a new hair-do

// December 22nd, 2008 // 1 Comment » // Amy Winehouse, Celebrity, Funny, Pictures, WTF


Amy Winehouse is scoring her weekly dose of “train-wreckognition” by stripping down for a beach romp on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia.

Amy Winehouse spotted..NUDE?

OMG! It’s been a little while since I’d seen anything about Amy Winehouse so I just assumed she was in rehab or something.

She actually looks kinda healthy for once! This picture might of ruined another celebrities day but for Amy Winehouse.. I’d say it’s a plus. Naked and all.

Not that Amy Winehouse naked is a real pretty sight because it’s not. But considering that I was predicting her early demise just a few months ago, I’d have to say it’s just nice to see her “looking” healthy.

Thanks to Jesus, she FINALLY cut off that NASTY-ASS beehive which looked more like a homeless mans dreadlock then a hip bee-hive and it also appears that she’s put a little new meat on those rickety bones.

She kinda looks like Annie now though! Not Hot! She really is in need of a stylist. I mean if she’s got the cash and we all know she does..you’d think that she’d spend a little extra money on looking the best she can look especially with all her bad press.

Here is another picture of the do and she’s not looking to hott in this one..

Ahh! she’s turning into that crazy cat lady of london!

Evan Rachel Wood - Pin-up Pics

Evan Rachel Wood looks absolutely breath-taking in these pictures. How do you get your skin THAT white anyway? It appears she was going for the Dita Von Teese look a bit in some of these pictures, no? Pretty hard act to follow Ms.Wood.

Tila Tequila and Courtenay Semel make up and get freaky..

Tila Tequila and Courtenay Semel

Internet pin-up-turned-bisexual reality TV star Tila Tequila’s romance with socialite Courtenay Semel appears to be back on after the couple made out for photographers on the red carpet before an exclusive Pussycat Dolls revue show in Hollywood on Sunday night.

Tequila kissed and groped her scantily-clad lesbian lover ending reports the couple had split and the singer had moved on to Drew Barrymore’s ex Justin Long.

The “lesbians” weren’t the only stars turning heads at the Viper Room bash – newly-single Paris Hilton put on a brave face and a skimpy black rubber mini-dress, knee-length boots and a bike cap to attend the top secret show.

Britney Spears – For the Record..I go through life like a Karate Kid…

// December 1st, 2008 // 4 Comments » // Britney Spears, Celebrity, Celebrity Gallery, Celebrity Kids, Celebrity Pictures, Featured, Music, News, Pictures, Reality TV, Sam Lufti, Videos


“Heaven to me would be on an island somewhere with my two babies and a man.. where no one could get to us”.

I just got done watching Britney Spears documentary “For the Record” on MTV.. at the beginning of the documentary they say “No topic was off limits,” and that “No question went unanswered.” but that was far from the truth. Duh. The only crazy Britney topic they really touched or mentioned was the hair shaving incident, they failed to mention or ask her about the whole laundry list of crazy things she did after that. Like losing her kids, being hospitalized, her paparazzi boyfriend and her leach manager Sam Lufti. She looked really sad during most of the interview and during the MTV pre-show she seemed kind of out of it, almost like she was going through the motions and not really elaborating much when asked questions.
I think the most truthful thing she said was “I’m Sad”.

I believe that was honest. I think it’s true that she’s a victim of her fame and whether she wants to hear it or not that’s what she’s ultimately become. Has she brought it upon herself? Absolutely. Did she mean too? I honestly doubt it.

When asked if she felt her life was out of control she said close to tears “No, it’s Too in control, there’s no passion, it’s like Groundhog Day every day. It’s boring”

Was her life out of control? Oh hell yeah!

When asked about her weird car trips around LA, she said “Ok, I’m not going to sugar coat it, (how can you) I was going through a really hard time, maybe I had traumatic stress..(ya think) I don’t know, I just know my babies represented home to me and whenever I was home they weren’t there and when I was driving in my car I was going.. somewhere…”.

“I let certain people into my life who were bad people,” she says. “I really paid the consequences for that. Big time.”

She said she’s angry for letting people take advantage of her and angry at the people for taking advantage of her but she has to let it go and move on..

Britney could of told more but she’s right when she said it’s none of our damn business. Her whole life has been photographed for the past three years and she deserves to keep some of her life to herself. I think the people who complain that she didn’t tell enough are the same kind of soul sucking people who follow her around and invade her space. She drove around LA like a mad woman because she was a mad woman at the time and once the ball started rolling she couldn’t stop it..she kept it up because she was lost in it all. I think her Dad intervening and taking over happened too late and it saved her life I guess it took a hospitalization and a mental collapse for someone to finally get it… she needed help.

When asked what she had to say to the people who would say she didn’t share enough..she said “she’d have a really good mysterious book someday”. (probably next year before her next album release).

Britney said she chooses to be a happy person. She’s got a great sense of humor and she seems like a fun person to be around. It’s not too shocking to see why she’s become as famous as she is. Her assistant was tied to her hip for most of the documentary and seemed like a good friend for her.

It was nice to see her looking beautiful again and happy to be working but Madonna looked like a blow up doll. Eww.. she really has taken that botox thing a little too far. I liked what she had to say in the documentary about Britney even if she looked like an alien when she said it.

Britney is a prisoner to the family courts, the paparazzi, her Father and herself. I hope someday she will figure out that she really does have the ability to control her reality and maybe someday she can buy her island.

Everything aside, I wish her the best. I think Britney interests me because I see a lot of myself in her when I was young and figuring it out and I feel sorry for her. I know if 30 paparazzi were outside my house 24/7 during some of my tough times.. I would of seemed just as loopy… Guaranteed.

Here’s a picture of Me and couple of my friends at one of those old time photobooths in Portland. We were at this bar/arcade called Ground Kontrol and they have all the old school arcade games, like Galaga, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong & Space Invaders.. so it was pretty cool.

In the first picture I was trying to smile but Annie was cracking me up, she makes great funny faces. Oh yeah..that’s me in the middle.

Demri Lara Parrot

// October 4th, 2008 // 64 Comments » // Alice in Chains, Celebrity, Celebrity Gallery, Celebrity Pictures, Demri Parrot, Featured, Layne Staley, Music, Personal Pictures, Personal Posts, Pictures, Rest in Peace, friends


I STARTED A NEW WEBSITE DEDICATED JUST TO LAYNE AND DEMRI PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!

Remembering Demri and Layne...

Visit New Site!

Remembering Demri and Layne...

NEW PICTURES! I posted some new pictures of Demri that were sent to me recently. Amazing! Plus all new pictures in the future will be posted on the new website as well so please leave your comments there in the future. Thank you!

Demri Lara Parrot was a beautiful woman and most people who will come here looking for information will come because they know her as Layne Staley’s girlfriend or because they knew her and are curious what they’ll find online about her. Well, unfortunately there’s not a lot of information online about Demri. Very few people have posted pictures and even fewer of her friends have come forward to talk about her. Why? I’m not sure. Maybe they think it’s rude to write about her online..  I don’t share that opinion.

She was my friend and people who love Layne and his music are interested in who she was and I think she’d think that was cool. I also know that she would like it if someone she knew posted her pictures and talked about who she was. Demri was incredible and she deserves to be remembered.

Demri passed away Oct. 29, 1996 and those who knew her.. miss her. I think about her often.

I’m dedicating this page to Demri and Layne and their love, life and friendship.

I hope people enjoy the pictures and leave a comment.

Amy Winehouse looking Amazing as usual…

// October 1st, 2008 // No Comments » // Amy Winehouse, Celebrity, Funny, Pictures, WTF


Goddamn she just gets worse and worse. I wonder if Amy Winehouse owns a full length mirror? Is she aware of how bad she looks, how nappy her hair is or how dirty she is? She never fails to get that nasty 2 inch wide black eyeliner on so she’s at the very least looking at her ugly mug.

I feel bad for Amy.. but on the other hand I think to myself..if only I had her talents and her money $$$$ there is no way I would throw it all away on drugs and there is no way I would allow myself to look that freaking UGLY!

You know she was listed as one of the richest young people. So she’s rich as all hell but nonetheless she continues to abuse her body and make the ugliest faces I’ve ever seen while doing it.

Instead of buying drugs she needs to get a hobby. Haha! Take up Knitting? Or maybe be a rock star? Yeah..maybe.

How Travis Barker and DJ AM Survived the Fatal Plane Crash that Killed 4

Barker and his close friend and musical partner DJ AM, real name Adam Goldstein, climbed onto the right wing of a flaming Learjet that was to have delivered them and four others to Los Angeles on Saturday.

“Once they slid down the wing, they had to jump on each other to put each other out,” Lieutenant Josh Shumpert, of the South Congaree Police Department, recalled the men telling him after the commuter jet crashed on the runway in Columbia, South Carolina.

Shoeless, in shock and in pain, Barker and Goldstein kept asking for an ambulance and worrying about their friends still inside, said Shumpert, one of the first responders on the scene.

“They were pacing back and forth,” he said. The men did not appear to be burned as badly as he expected.

The crash killed Barker’s two assistants and the plane’s crew.

Shumpert said Goldstein, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts or boxers, was hurt worse.

The lieutenant and Columbia resident Bill Owens were among the first to arrive. A dashboard camera from Shumpert’s cruiser captured the turmoil, and the officer gave his first extended interview yesterday.

“I remember seeing the DJ guy with burns on his arms and the back and top of his head,” Schumpert said.

He did not see burns on Barker, though he acknowledged it was dark.

“I think he had on one sock. Either that, or they were both real nasty. He did not have a shirt on.”

Doctors at an Augusta burn centre said Barker, 32, and Goldstein, 35, have second and third-degree burns. They are likely to recover fully, doctors have said.

“Travis was more visibly shaken than the other guy,” said the 25-year-old lieutenant, who since the crash has come to refer to the drummer by his first name.

Neither Barker, who is covered in tattoos, nor Goldstein said much. Shumpert tried to comfort them, not knowing until an hour later that they were celebrities.

Barker was a member of the multi platinum-selling rock band blink-182. Its biggest album was 1999’s recording Enema of the State which sold more than 5 million copies in the US alone. He is now a drummer with +44 and owns a restaurant and clothing firm.

He is divorced from a former Miss USA, Shanna Moakler. They have two children. Barker then had a romance with Paris Hilton.

Goldstein, who has scratched on albums for Madonna, Papa Roach and Will Smith and owns popular LA club LAX, was previously engaged to reality TV star Nicole Richie, whom was said to have broken down when she heard the news. After his breakup with Richie, Goldstein dated singer and actress Mandy Moore.

He collaborated with Barker in several performances, including the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.

Neither Shumpert nor fellow witness Owens, an acoustic guitar player himself, saw the musicians escape the plane.

The lieutenant said his account came from the survivors, who have yet to be interviewed by aviation investigators.

Federal aviation investigators said the crew reported hearing a plane tire blow out moments before the plane ran off the runway and over S.C. 302 then burned. But the cause remains under investigation.

The dead, all from Southern California, include pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, co-pilot James Bland, 52, Barker’s assistant, Chris Baker, 29, and bodyguard, Charles Still, 25.

Owens, a 60-year-old in the cargo delivery business, said he happened upon the crash before rescuers.

“It was straight up 12 o’clock,” Owens said. He was driving his van from Columbia to a friend’s place in Lexington County.

“I saw a ball of fire cross the highway,” he said. “It was so fast I didn’t know what I’d seen. It looked phantomlike.”

As Owens stopped in his traffic lane, he saw two men flailing their arms, trying to put out their burning clothes.

“They’re going in circles. They’re on fire. They’re freaked out.”

Owens dials 9-1-1.

One of the men, whom Owens learned was Goldstein, put out the flames on himself quickly.

“The other guy is running across the highway to get himself to the grass to roll,” Owens said.

But Barker and Goldstein appear to have realized he did not have time to cross the five-lane road.

“The DJ comes over and must be screaming at him, ‘Get out of the clothes.’

“He’s standing there naked. I see all this tattoos.”

In the chaos of orange flames and black smoke, Owens noticed a stream of jet fuel snaking across the road. It had not yet ignited, though the jet was engulfed.

“All I said to them is, ‘Who’s on board?’ All they said to me is, ‘four people.’ There was no conversation. I heard somebody say, ‘Oh my God!”

For a moment, the three thought about trying to help trapped victims. “Where do you go? What do you do?” Owens said.

“No! Forget it! There is nothing we can do.”

He said he saw four cars stopped on the other side of the wreckage.

One person got out. Owens thinks it was a woman. She gave Barker some shorts.

Four days later, Owens said he feels guilty. “I’m concerned that I didn’t react quickly. I reacted cautiously.”

He also is amazed the musicians’ injuries weren’t worse.

“They were so silent. They made no indication they were in pain. I’m surprised there were no broken bones. They were thrown to the ground by a crashing plane.”

Shumpert sees a greater power at work.

“For them to escape, it was God looking out for them. It wasn’t their time.”

A source close to AM (real name Adam Goldstein) told Fox News that while the family is totally devastated, they are staying positive and strong, and they are just deeply thankful that he survived.

“He has text messaged a few very close friends and told them he’s OK,” a source said.

I wish him the best in his recovery, both physically and mentally. He has a long journey ahead of him. I always thought they were such a cute couple I hope this brings them back together. He needs someone to stick by his side right now.
