Dear ArtSlut,
My house is pale yellow with Weimaraner colored trim (grey). We have a Weim; can you tell? The front doors are glass (with dog nose art on them) and Chinese red. I want to get some really great plant pots for the front porch. What color would you recommend?
Sincerely,
Doggie Lover

Dear Doggie Lover,
Firstly, I love this idea & I've followed your lead by painting my front door Basset Brown. Ooh lala! So rich, yet slightly blue mood...Anyway, back to you. All the ArtSluts in the office agree. We like the bold red doors & think you should glue frames on the glass around the precious dog nose art.
It's priceless! As for the pots, I think you could go one of two ways. A simple terra cotta, in an oversized, classic urn or ginger jar shape would be a nice way to handle this or if you felt a little more modern, a geometric shape in a Payne's Grey would be smashing, too. You might want to consider hiring a local artist to make grey, ceramic busts of the babies & plant catnip in the tops of them. I know, dogs don't care about catnip, but when the cats come it'll give the dogs something fun to do & provide an excellent source of free entertainment for you & your people. Please, send us a photo of you in your ArtSlut Tee with the finished product. We love to see ArtSluts in action!

Dear ArtSlut,
I don't know what to do. My boyfriend & I have started an arts based business & it's going really well. He does wrought iron & we combine it with my glass work. The problem is, we hired an intern from the local college & I think he's having an affair with her or wants to. Of course, he denies it, but I can't shake the feeling. Normally, I might leave, but 1. I love him & 2/3. Not only do we live together, but we're in business together. Plus, he's so talented & we work so well together. I don't know if I can replace him. Is there a way to get out with my dignity& my business? What should I do?

Dear Rosie Posie,
I hate to say it, but pretty is as pretty does & there's nothing more pretty than taking care of yourself. If you have a 'feeling' about something, it's probably true or at least it's in the air - even if only because you don't trust him. That's a shame, Sister. If you can't trust him in life, then you sure can't trust him in business. I strongly suggest that you very politely, let him know that it's not working out & go & start your own business & grow a new life. You don't need a replacement. Believe in yourself, trust your instincts, do your best & the rest will follow.
Best wishes, Posie

Dear ArtSlut,
Mine is a fashion dilemma: I have a big show coming up & I want to wear my ArtSlut T-Shirt in a way that says 'success'. I wear it with jeans all of the time, but what are your tips for a dressier version?
About to Bag a Benefactor

Dear Benne-licious,
This is a great question. We sell tons of shirts to artists for their openings & of course, that's a very special occasion. You want to appear professional, but comfortable, intriguing & maybe aloof, right? There are several ways: 1. The ArtSlut Tee with camel slacks & a nice pair of black sling-backs is casual elegance that's not afraid to flirt. 2. I like to wear my black shirt with a white skirt that is hand appliquéd in a lovely, 50's style. It's a nice contrast. 3. You can always go glam-punk, depending on the style of your art work. This would entail a black Tee, spangled with a Bedazzler & a strategically ripped neckline, over a floor length, slinky type, sequined? black skirt - Tre Chic, Baby!

 Dear Art Slut,
I am going to Nashville on Sep. 9 to interview some old guys that did this head hunter thing in the forties, so I can make a book that's based on the experiences they had off the coast of New Guinea and I'll be going to that place in May for a more groovy feel.
My question is about the Grand Ole Opry I want to go on Friday because I have the BBQ dance on Saturday with these guys over eighty, That should be sweet.
Do they sell drinks at the Opry?
Should I drink before if they don't?
Will they understand my ArtSlut hat?
Should I just stay in my hotel and Get the photos and interviews with a clear head?
You guy's are all I have, The advise I get in front of 801 bourbon just turns into a dark ride.
Stay sweet.
Love, the W.

Wowsie W!
That's super-cool. I'll bet you're talking about the most fantastic documentary ever made - "Sky Above, Mud Below". It was absolutely, amazing! What a fantastic opportunity for you!
As for your ???'s:
Do they have Drinks at The Opry? Yes, for 17.99ea.
Should you before? Maybe not - especially if you're driving.
Will they understand? Probably not. They need for you to let them know that they're ArtSluts too. Splain it to them Loosie! Country music gives us very creative dances & that particular breed of ArtSlut seems to have a really magic way with a Bedazzler. You gotta love THAT!
Conducting an interview with super old, brilliant scientists while intoxicated? We would recommend celebratory drinkies afterward, instead. You never know what they learned in cannibal land & you shouldn't let your guard down, just in case.
Have a wonderful time on both of your trips & don't loose your head!
