Zoe needs your help

MissMedeenski — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 01:26:54 GMT

hi everyone, we all know who Miss Zoe Jakes is right? ok, well Zoe's car was broken into last week and ALL her costumes and ALL her makeup and ALL her antique jewelry AND a pair of Fleuvog boots were stolen out of the trunk. The thieves also took a custom electric banjo belonging to her husband David of Beats Antique. To put this into perspective this would be the equivillent to a Dj or producer losing their laptop or record collection. as in, she cant perform with out it. ive been collecting money to help her replace what was stolen, and so far we have collected enough to buy back all her makeup! hooray and thank you so much! next we are tryin to help replace the three lost costumes; i am making her one to replace her "Sari costume" and Rose Harden is making her a new "black and white button" costume, but theres still so much to replace. heres a list of what was taken; 2 pieces of antique assuit, one black one white 1 silver rajastani belt, inch thick 12 assorted rajastani and morrocan bracelets mardi necklace with white glass centerpiece and vertibrae on each side... black and white costume covered in hundreds of buttons balconette bra with keys on front and flowers up side indian sari bra with row of coins up both sides and turkoman hangings 2 pairs of melodia pants, one nude one black, both glitter 5 pairs assorted heavy indian earrings 3 tuareg rings 1 wild card ring with a bone in it pair of fluevog boots striped ruffle shorts all my make up small tin with piles of amazing steel cut trim and jet trim feel free to use my paypal address to send donations; Medi13@hotmail.com *please select "gift" when sending money as it doesnt charge a fee that way.* thanks so much for all your support everybody, i know Zoe is humbled and so grateful of your kindness. i reminded her that she is so incredibly inspiring to people that it is no wonder so much help has come her way.

Hua Mulan

MissMedeenski — Sun, 31 May 2009 23:56:13 GMT

木蘭詩唧唧復唧唧，木蘭當戶織，不聞機杼聲，惟聞女嘆息。問女何所思，問女何所憶，女亦無所思，女亦無所憶。昨夜見軍帖，可汗大點兵。軍書十二卷，卷卷有爺名。阿爺無大兒，木蘭無長兄，願為市鞍馬，從此替爺徵。東市買駿馬，西市買鞍貉，南市買轡頭，北市買長鞭。旦辭爺娘去，暮至黃河邊。不聞爺娘喚女聲，但聞黃河流水鳴濺濺。但辭黃河去，暮宿黑山頭。不聞爺娘喚女聲，但聞燕山胡騎鳴啾啾。萬裡赴戎機，關山度若飛。朔氣傳金析，寒光照鐵衣。將軍百戰死，壯士十年歸。歸來見天子，天子坐明堂。策勛十二轉，賞賜百千強。可汗問所欲，木蘭不用尚書郎。願馳千里足，送兒還故鄉。爺娘聞女來，出郭相扶將。阿姊聞妹來，當戶理紅妝。小弟聞姊來，磨刀霍霍曏豬羊。開我東閣門，坐我西閣床。脫我戰時袍，著我舊時裳。當窗理雲鬢，對鏡貼花黃。出門看伙伴，伙伴皆驚惶。同行十二年，不知木蘭是女郎！雄兔腳撲朔，雌兔眼迷離。雙兔傍地走，安能辨我是雄雌。 Translation from Chinese: Tsk, tsk, and tsk tsk, Mulan weaves at her window. We cannot hear the shuttles sound, We only hear the girl’s sighs. “Now tell me girl, who’s in your heart, And tell me girl, who’s on your mind?” “There’s no one in my heart at all And no one on my mind. Last night I saw conscription lists, The Khan is calling troops everywhere. The army’s rolls were in twelve scrolls, And every scroll held Father’s name. My father has no older son, Mulan has no big brother. I wish to go buy horse and gear And march to the wars for father.” In the east mart she bought a fine steed, In the west mart she bought blanket and saddle. In the north mart she bought a long whipp, In the south mart bought bit and bridle. At dawn she took her parents’ leave. By the Yellow River she camped at dusk. She did not hear her parents’ calls, She heard only the sad whinnying From the Turkish horsemen on Mount Yan. She went thousands of miles to battle, She flew across fortified passes. The north wind carried the sounds of the march, And cold light shone on her armor. After many a battle the general died, After ten years the stout troops went home. She came back and saw the Emperor. The Emperor sat in his hall of light, Her deeds raised her rank by twelve degrees, He gave her a hundred thousand and more. The Khan then asked her what she wished. “I’ve no use to be grand secretary. Just loan me a camel with far-running feet, To carry me on its back to home. When her parents heard that their daughter had come, They came out of the town, leaning one on another. When her sister heard the big sister had come, At the window she made herself up with rouge. When the young brother heard that the big sister had come, He sharpened his knife and got pigs and sheep. Then Mulan opened the door to her room in the east, She sat on the bed in her room in the west. She took off her buffcoat and armor, And put on the skirt she used to wear. At the window she combed her wispy locks, In the mirror she put on rouge. Then she went to the gate to see her companions, And all her companions were struck with surprise. “We marched together for twelve long years, And you never knew that Mulan was a girl. The male hare’s legs have a nervous spring, The eye of the girl hare wanders. But when two hares run side by side, Who can tell if they’re boy or girl?”
