Moontrash from Lisa Iversen

This piece arrived in a beautiful box. She says she found this crushed can tucked inside a tree. I think she must have sanded this down to get the sheen on it that does make it look lunar. It's mounted on a 5 by 7 or so posterboard and looks to be leaping out. I really love this thank you sooo much Lisa! very elegant trashpo--so classy I think it's more of  trachic

Another thing I LOVE about IOUMA---where else do you (or I) need to continually look up words people use? KOAN. Thank you for expanding my vocabulary Lisa, although I doubt that one will ever come up in conversation  and I will probably never end up on Jeopardy

This is hilarious--attitude girl has a much cooler body here than I usually give her. Still her glasses are shattered though, so she is reluctant to re-take the throne. It is such a responsibility.  And now, of course, there is pressure to do RK performance art, although I shudder to think of purposefully creating RK and I KNOW PETA would object. I already have had some protestors wearing RK bam bam outfits picketing in front of the house. Luckily they don't have clubs.  not yet.   I hope V Marque didn't eat it all, because Dean can't buy him anymore with those defunct gift cards.

Look at this DK. Dean Marks posted a tribute to you in the IUOMA gallery. You can't abdicate. And I like this proverb too: "Don't eat it all." It's brilliant. Remember when I asked what would happen if Neo ate the red and the blue pill at the same time? Well, here's the answer: "Don't eat it all." So all is in harmony again.

[De Villo Sloan]

DK, these rumors of your abdication is causing a serious disturbance in the force. Building on Skybridge, I have to offer the opinion Mr. Canard is definitely adding a zen proverb. I don't see it as a political statement anymore, especially on the lisp of your Golden Boo Dee. And I don't think matriarchy, gynarchy, patriarchy, phallo-centrism or anything else related to gender has any bearing. Trash is genderless and universal. And anyway, you don't vote for kings and queens. It's some sort of divine right or something. Don't abdicate the Trash Throne, please.

Quote from the Golden Buddha (stolen from Richard Canard)

Trashtopia is a democracy, so if the popular vote says I should step down, I will. It has been a matriarchy so far, so maybe the King, Erni Bar, needs to establish order. I will take it as a learning lesson in not letting my decoder rings be manufactured in Bangladesh. Humbly, my title remains hovering above the trash heap. I'm thinking of calling myself a garbologist instead of trashpoet. 

[De Villo Sloan]

DK sent me a replacement D-Koder ring. I can't believe it. I am truly humbled and honored. God Save the Queen (of Trashpo)!

[DKeys]

Wow, you miss a day and trashtopia turns to dystopia..  I have to disagree with Richard. People who send others their trash value everything-even stuff they shouldn't. Ironically I sent him a card today valued at 0 cents. The stamp, however, was valued at 29 cents. Maybe we need to move toward faux trashpo--art made to look like trash. This is what happened with the whole road kill fiasco-we had to find alternative sources for synthetic RK, because the PETA activists thought RK art was highly insensitive.

[De Villo Sloan]

His quotes are gems. Maybe DK sent him a defective D-Koder ring. I said that would come back to bite her.

[De Villo Sloan]

The only solution might be for DK to give up her title. Someone more reasonable might be able to negotiate a compromise. Trashtopia is a shambles!
