天天喜气羊羊！Happy Chinese Lunar New Year! Sheep Year 2015
过年好！万事如意！
羊年发羊财！
Happy New Year of The Sheep!
Here's more of my Wuxia makeup photoshoot. Nice and weird!
If you want to see the other frames from this photo shoot check the other entries from this month.
Well, this is my Guonian, my year. I'm a Sheep person. But, I tell you, I am no Sheeple. I'm not dossile, or airheaded.
I've read untold things written about this Zodiac, and they don't all agree about what it means. Allegedly one of the things I read was that people born in the year of the sheep were more of a craftsman than an artist, and I wanted to tear up the book, and smack whomever wrote such trash! Also, because I read that I STOPPED doing "crafts" altogether, until I had my daughter. That same book also said that Sheep people never do anything, never go anywhere, and never travel, and that they're homebodies, boring, bland, play it too safe, and whine all the time about nothing, and do nothing to help the outer world.
Utter rubbish! I've been all over the world, have a pioneering spirit, and am a multi talented artist. I'm also a Gypset, philosopher, and a protestor.
But, as the years have passed, I've read other books about Sheep people, and they always sound good. Like creative, open minded, caring, good with family, family minded, intelligent, and many good characteristics.
However, there's this superstition, which is newer in China, that Sheep people are doomed to a poor life. So, on years when it's the Sheep they have the lowest birth rate fearing their one and only child will be cursed. This is a totally NEW concept, because in the 20th Century I'd never heard of such a thing. In fact, I couldn't find any materials about this dating back last century.
Well, my daughter & I are both born the Year of the Sheep. And, so in my brother-in-law's wife in China.
Since it's our year, we;re supposed to wear red for protection, and jade. It's a big deal in China. Also, if it's your birth year, everyone is suppose to give you money, and stuff.
So if you wanna give me some money you can Flattr me:

Year of The Sheep
天天喜气羊羊！
Can you see the little sheep behind me?
Happy New Year!
羊年到，祝三羊开泰，喜气羊羊。
祝你羊年财源滚滚，生意兴隆，工作顺利。
过年好! 万事如意!
I have noticed that on the National Chinese New Year CCTV Show in China, they often mix the Chinese Zodiac Animals of that year with Western Mythology. Like, on the Horse year they use Pegasus, and on the Dragon Year, they often depict Western Dragons also. So, you get a Capricorn!
