Happy Valentine's Day | Monday Morning at the office | You're Fat | You Look Tired

TALK TO THE HAND

I can’t say thank you enough to the people who come out to our shows. You know I love you. I really do. So many of you “get it”. You understand what does into this grueling lifestyle. You are kind and you are considerate, supportive and thoughtful. I so look forward to seeing you every time we set foot in a venue.

This isn’t for you all though. This is for people who need a serious reality check. Some artists are too shy, meek or don’t want to rock the boat by saying, so allow me to open my big mouth once again. Last night many of you went to far. I’m not having it.

Why is it that so many people feel they can say anything they think of to an artist, entertainer or public figure? You crucify many. I hear people at airports, hotel lobbies, speaking ill words over celebrities they will never even know. Yet they talk as if they are BFF’s.

I am accessible, approachable and have no security at shows. People follow me into restrooms, parking lots, and my hotel room… really? How would you like that? It’s creepy, UN nerving and makes me want to run from you. Have you ever thought how that would make YOU feel?

How about the things you candidly say to me? Let’s start with last night. What if on Monday morning your co-workers, new ones you didn’t even know came up to you and said?

1. You look really bad

2. You look tired and shot

3. Wow, you’ve gotten older and gained weight since I watched you on wrestling

4. Your voice is really weak tonight

5. I’ve heard you sound better

6. Maybe you’d like to come back to my room with my girlfriend and me

7. You’re not on wrestling anymore. Wow, I guess you’re not doing much

8. You look fatter than I remember

9. You have wrinkles when I get this close to you

10. And things that will identify people clearly from last night that I won’t publicly humiliate like you do me.

I come to do a job, perform and entertain you. Stop asking me personal questions. Or believing that we are “dating” in your mind. Because we are not I assure you.

Unless you have something awesome to say, then shut up. If I ask for your opinion, (which I won’t) then you don’t need to volunteer information on my performance, Chances are I know I forgot a lyric, or didn’t hit a note. I’m a fricking artist. We are already pretty hard on ourselves by nature, don’t make it worse.

Do I really look older and fatter than when I debuted on Impact Wrestling? Because I’m surprised. That was in 2002, 13 years ago. I can’t figure out why in THIRTEEN years I have changed? WINNER for the most STUPID comment ever.

Do I look tired? Funny, we just got 3 hours sleep, loaded up, drove TEN hours, loaded in in 18 degree weather and played a four hour high energy show. Clearly you must be mistaken? How could I EVER be tired?

You’ve heard me sound better? Hmmm… well I haven’t seen you look better. In fact every time I see YOU, you look a fright. You should really do something about that. Oh wait, you can’t, that’s just your face.

I’m not on wrestling anymore. Yup, you’re right. And clearly by my social media pages I’m sitting around with my thumb up my butt doing nothing. Man, you got me on that one…

I think many of the people don’t know how to talk to anyone really. They have social disorders. Well, please don’t come practice on me. Find a nice tree, or stick on the ground. I don’t know… maybe a park bench? Approach it, greet it, say hello, and tell it, “Hey, nice wood.” Maybe give it a few more compliments, talk about the weather… you know, baby steps. When you “master” that, then come and talk to me.

Other favorites include classics like, “Wow, you sound pretty good for a girl.” or who could forget this one? “I came here expecting you to suck, but you weren’t that bad.”

Thanks. Thanks and bless your pointed head. Maybe the next time you get done in the sack someone can muster up a gem THAT good for you. Oh, wait?! You’re flying solo aren’t you? … Talk to the hand… Talk to the hand.

Happy Valentine’s Day! And remember in the words of Aretha Franklin…RESPECT!

Join my Goldy Locks Advocare Team | Get Healthy | Gain Financial Freedom!

Join my Advocare Team!

You’ve seen me posting and talking about Advocare. I am SO proud to be a part of this company because it not only “CHANGES” lives, but also “SAVES” them.

When my mom died, I packed on the pounds. I let food be my comfort. Only it’s not comfortable when you don’t fit into all of your clothes. In fact, I because depressed and gained weight. Food was my safe zone. But I realized it was getting out of hand. So I turned to a Pro Wrestling friend.

He gave me the Advocare 24 Day Challenge. And with that it jumpstarted 14 lbs. of weight loss. I started taking other Advocare supplements and soon lost my unwanted 20 lbs. I know am working on my college weight, but with more muscle tone.

I had no idea that the Spark Energy Drink I had been using all of these years was actually ADVOCARE! I just got it in a tub from wrestling buddies and ordered in a bundle. I didn’t pay attention.

Could this be? I had never even heard of Advocare. And now, I realize I’d been using it since 2000!

And I had NO idea the Advocare Company has been around since 1993! Numerous pro athletes endorse it and their Scientific and Medical Advisory Board members even consists of Stanley Dudrick, MD Father of Intravenous Feeding.

 

Doctors of that stature are not going to risk their reputation on anything but the best. And frankly, neither am I. Advocare REALLY helped get my life on track. So why don’t you let it help yours.

 

The stuff works or I wouldn’t be talking about it and posting results. But what really works are the benefits to being your own boss. How hard you want to hustle or try is YOUR call. And when you do get out there and just tell your story, about how it helped you, you find the product just sells itself. And you WATCH people getting healthy and changing their lives. And it’s an INCREDIBLE feeling.

 

I will leave you with this. I was on a conference call the other night. A very sweet, kind, excited woman led the call and just told us about her story. A broke couple needing to make ends meet. Someone introduced her to Advocare.

 

To make a long story short, I researched how long she’s been selling Advocare. Just a few years. I about fell out of my chair to find out she makes over 600k a year. I guess you can’t judge a book by its cover.

 

If you want to lose weight, or have more energy or just change your life around like you know you should. Consider not only trying Advocare, but let your story and the products working help you change your life financially. Because it can. I’m telling you, these products sell themselves because they are just THAT good.

 

Email me. Ask me what it takes. You’d be surprised.

 

1. It’s the price of Costco

2. There is NOTHING to buy

3. NO monthly quotas

4. Just use the 20% discount if you want

5. No AUTO ship products you WEREN’T Expecting

 

Just REALLY good people and REALLY great prouduct.

 

If you’re reading this and want to make a change both physically, mentally and financially, find me. Join MY team! It’s REAL, it’s HONEST and it’s WORKING! XXOO Goldy

Nice title. I'm pissed.

Somewhere along the line my distributor change the delivery stores from iTunes & Amazon to #Spotify.

I know people think Spotify will get you "exposure." Hmmm... EXPOSURE. Maybe the next time you need to pay bills, just pretend you didn't get paid. But you got "exposure".

I need my lights on, I need to pay ins, I'd like to eat? Food? Lol... oh what's that crazy stuff. I'm a musician. Haha. What was I thinking.

Buy your favorite artist & band's music please. Seriously. Do you know how much it costs us to record, master, press... Omg... what you like listening to?  If you listen for free and like it, then go BUY it!

You don't go into your favorite stores and get product for free? What if you did? Do you know what would happen? It would ALL GO AWAY!

Thanks Spotify! Thank you thank you thank you! I made .03 this month!!!! Yay! I can eat on that for weeks!

Not happy. Not happy

Vampires | The Undead | Graveyards | Team Work | Goldy lockS

Check out the Beautiful Tribute song 

to those we love who have passed. 

Goodnight was written by Goldy Locks & Jake Tolle & 

Produced By Chris Henderson of 3 Doors Down.

This whole project embodied teamwork. Every cemetery we approached wanted too much money, permits and even the parks we talked to were just too unreasonable with demands & rules. So my band mates and I built this graveyard by hand & a friend let us use her backyard ranch.

When a project seems nearly impossible, just remember, with the right team, 

and determination, anything can be done.

Funding to finish seemed to be a challenge, but if you watch the video till the end, you will see the incredible people who made a virtual #tribute & #Prayer to this project. These supporters honored their loved ones who passed which in turn breathed life into our #GoodNight Project.

Please watch the video here:

Photoshop Haters | How Photoshop Can Change Your Life

Ever have someone you love die and thought to yourself, “if I could only have them back just one more day?”

I think that all the time. So I decided in my own artistic way to make my wish come true.

I’ve been using Adobe Photoshop since the day it came out. I learned MacDraw & MacPaint as a very small child. I was obsessed with making album covers for my CD’s growing up as a musician. I’ve probably made thousands of covers for friends over the years with this program!

It’s a medium that I can create something beautiful, artistic, surreal and artistic. And I love it. So many times it get knocked and hated on, but I choose to see it all a different way.

From the days of Greek Gods and Goddesses, Roman statues and carvings, I really doubt they had an artist come and spend months carving stone to be a timeless masterpiece only to include the dimples and cellulite on a woman’s butt. It didn’t happen. No one is hating on that.

How about when Rembrandt painted flawless  and haunting portraits where people almost didn’t look human? They were perfect. Forever-captured in oil on canvas. He forgot to include zits, pockmarks, dark circles and warts on his subject’s faces. No one is complaining about that. In fact, photography uses his method of lighting everyday. We choose to focus on the positive and take away the best possible feature and lesson.

Stop hating on Photoshop, retouching and tweaks. It’s been around forever and I’ve been having it done to my modeling photos since I was 7. It hasn’t distorted the way I see myself, look at or view me. It just reminds me if I drink more water, I’ll be hydrated! And if I eat the right foods like spinach, Kale, cucumbers, you know beauty foods, that my skin will ultimately look brighter and healthier. Photoshop has helped me see the me I can be if I’m putting some time and effort in. :-)

If anything, Photoshop has encouraged me to look like the tweaks that have been tweaked, but within reason and staying within the guides of reality. After all, we do know the difference between right and wrong? Self control? Image distortion?

I know many people have their opinions. I respect that. I’m just saying, maybe next time, just look at it for what it is. A way of making a photo into an heirloom that will last forever painting someone in their best light.

I for one am very happy someone created it. Because when used properly and for the good, I believe magic happens.

On a very hot Minnesota 4^th of July, I asked my mother what she was the most sad about dying. The end was near and I was trying to understand. Many old people want to “go home.” My mother answered the most painstaking, raw, real, and haunting answer I could ever expect. “Because I can’t take you with me" she cried as she grabbed onto my forearm. She sobbed and put her head down.

What could I respond with? I was at a loss for words. She also looked me in the eyes and said, “I won’t be able to wear my Mexican skirt to any more parties…”

It felt as though someone ripped my heart out. I inhaled and held my breath there for a while in so as not to cry. I told her I didn’t have my gear with me this trip, but that I had my iPad. Would she like an iPad photo shoot in her skirt?

“No” she said. “I’m too weak. I can’t get excited about something when I can’t even stand up” She got cold and mean… then quiet. “Suit yourself I said. I was just trying to help.”

The next day I opened the front door to see her sitting in her wheelchair with a white lace top and a black velvet Mexican skirt. “Go upstairs and fetch me several hats you think would look good and a shade of blood-red lipstick.”

I asked her if someone had changed her mind about an IPad photo shoot. “Quite possibly” she replied. “Quite possibly”

Off to the Hispanic parts of South Minneapolis we went, in search of the perfect backdrop. She was the one who found it. And these were the photos I took that hot day in July in which we celebrate our Independence.

And I’m glad we did that shoot. Because 10 days later she died. And the above photos were brilliantly enlarged and placed everywhere at her wake and funeral. My mom looked as good as she could in her final days… in her black velvet Mexican skirt. She had her last hurrah and her last party and celebrated properly.

I will never ever miss another opportunity like that. And thanks to “Photoshop”, my imagination, and a very creative and willing cool father, I was able to create these last works of art.

A supporter at a show gave me some Christmas money to by something for my father. Some jerk had just done a credit card number hijack and cleaned me out. I had nothing for the holidays but I had this: my mind, my talent and my program. :-)

I leave you with my Christmas art I created for and gave my father, but also in memory of my mother.

See the glass not half empty, 

not half full, but overflowing. :-)
