i'm so glad there's a thread on her, albeit one that hasn't received any attention in over a year!

gotta say, i can't get over this woman. i agree that she sounds a bit like a child, but i also think she kinda looks at the world like a child does, and describes it with the vocabulary and elegance of someone who's been alive for 500 years. i'd actually never heard of her until this past summer. she just randomly came up on a cocorosie radio station i'd created on jango... i was inking that mandala that i posted in the art thread actually. it was her song Emily. i probably listened to it 40 or 50 times during the process of inking that art piece. ugh... i can't describe her... it's like she just makes me completely abandon any desire to intellectually approach her work and personality... it's just so beautiful to be present for the experiencing of someone so okay with themselves.
