Chicago, IL USA:
Numbers (as the 5-7-9 Theme above) is as interesting as Language itself. We tend to gravitate more towards one than the other while growing up. Mine, of course, was towards Language when I was in Grade School and 'The Basics' were being taught. I soon found that Language is one of themost fascinating and captivating Subjects I know. Letters and Words have always intrigued me. Even the Little Ones like IF to the BIG, l-o-n-g (too numerous to name) plus ones 'new on the Scene' to old Latin Terms that name every Creature (with a scientific bend or bent) on The Planet. How those Scholars ever did this unbeknownst to me, considering no Computers were there (to make their job easier) in which to record and preserve those Names. If there were, there'd be a hey-day with mis-spellings due to spell check that would need to be corrected. To me, they just look so beautifully created - from somebody's imagination.
Then, you have Creatures that have for so l-o-n-g been written about and continue to be on the Top Ten Lists for Movies and Books. 'Creatures' usually denote every Life Form 'outside of' Humans (homo sapiens) - Mankind.
Creature Comforts (as a term), however, denote the Comforts that Humans like, prefer and subsequently need to make their Lives 'the best' and for 'the Better.' Those are for Humans who like the added Accessories of Life, not the rhinestone studded collar for Fido or the extra stuffed Toss-Toys that Fido plays with in the backyard. They have done without these. Their daily agenda (if in the wild) doesn't really call for these Markings of Humanity.
TO TOP OFF THE DISCUSSION: Then, is it any wonder that Animal Terms have infiltrated our Language with terms as:
Bee Hive (Hair-do's)
Turtleneck Sweaters
and others...
that have found, meandered and sifted their Way into the Dialog and Conversations held by the 10 Toys - my Characters here - as they journey through the Pages of SKiN.

SKiN ©2009: The Script, The Book & The Odyssey: The May 6, 2009 Segment
Chicago, IL USA:
PART OF THE FUN of Writing SKiN ©2009 is that I got to air many of the Disturbances I have been disgruntled about the last 50 years. These were Items that We could say:
Got under my SKiN.
With the Internet and Writing being as simple as it has become, Writing to an automatic Audience (of which The Internet provides) is a safe and sound Outlet to vent some of those Philosophies and Pheelings that annoy a Person as myself who sees alot of misAlignments with what's happening. Of course, the first main ‘Airing’ that I talked about briefly on Monday was:
Mixed Signals
that are totally disruptive.
The Second is to decipher WHAT MATTERS in the course of one’s Day. If Mixed Signals are alleviated and a Person works on ‘WHAT MATTERS’ to themselves, then every Corner of their world can be accomplished in the SKiN he or she is in.
These Two Topics are of interest also because they resonate on many different Levels, not just on the SKiN Layer or Level. If a Signal is misread, Misperceptions may arise and that automatically can make a Dent in a Day, if not to cause a person to totally switch gears and proceed in a different Manner. Being in control is what’s needed in Situations as these. Throughout Man’s brief Stay and Course on 'The Planet,' he is seen as the Entity who supposedly is in control, but my Philosophies and Pheelings are such that he is not, just a pawn of NATURE, that to me…in all my Calculations is in Control…at all times.
With this Statement firmly in place, I was able to tackle the Conversation, Dialogue and Thought Processes between the 10 Stuffed Plush Toys as they ‘spoke’ about what it means to be Human through their Eyes. For a Writer, this was indeed THE FUN PART of developing their Characters and their own unique Personalities as We travelled through 28 Scenes.

SKiN ©2009: The Script, The Book & The Odyssey: The May 5, 2009 Segment
Chicago, IL USA:
Welcome to The Fifth Edition of 31 of the SKiN Expose that explain more of The Inner Workings & Process of how I created this Work. In my May 3rd Edition into the Dynamics of this Writing and Thought Process behind SKiN©2009, I used the Word:
ENJOY
in the Closing Line. ENJOY is a nice Word, if you can 'get it,' share it and keep it. But that is never the case. However, JOY is not something we all have in our Life. When We don't have it, that's when We feel IT the most - the lack of something hurts 'the most.' When We do have JOY (moments of it, as it's always fleeting), it's the Greatest Feeling ever! Isn't it a Pity that Moment is just so spontaneous and fleeting, especially today, Cinqo de Maio that is a Festive Day in the Latino and Hispanic Community that has become popular with everyone no matter what their Nationality is.
That is the power of Cross-Over, whether it's Music, Literature or Holidays.
With the Commercialization of every Topic from Holidays to Car Batteries, all SKiN Types can get into the Spirit of each Nationalities' Belief Systems and learn to 'get along' -- as Rodney King of Los Angeles stated long ago...in the 1900s in that Era when SKiN was Skin and more hostilities and misunderstandings occurred.
Hopefully, Understanding between 'The Races' will happen, unless Man gets in his own Way and the Mixed Signals are blasted into overload. What truly Matters essentially is what Life is all about. Thoughts (like this) are found in SKiN.
Please check back Tomorrow and throughout the Month of May for more Insights into the Novella.

SKiN ©2009: The Script, The Book & The Odyssey: The May 4, 2009 Segment
Chicago, IL USA:
While writing SKiN ©2009 (that began on January 29, 2009 through April 30, 2009), I needed Feedback on the way it was proceeding. Positive Reinforcement and pats on the back; scratches behind my Ears, if I was a pooch is what this form of Gratifification would be called.
Therefore, I solicited the Help of 3 Friends:
Jessica
Gary &
Lowell
who had never read any of my Writings before to see what they thought and to register their Reaction. This processs happened at the end of March. Their Reactions were:
Jessica: Great Plot.
Gary: Eloquent Writing.
Lowell: Interesting Topic.
These Takes allowed me to continue writing The Plot and to add to the Word Count. Outside Public Opinion is necessary in an Opus like this, not only from 'The General Public' but from Fellow Artists and Professionals as Author/Former Literary Agent and Concert Pianst Lenny Cavallaro (a Friend of Mine) from Boston. Lenny seriously suggested I take the Theme of:
Mixed Signals and What Matters
and extend it to either 35,000-50,000 Words making it into a Novella.
Evidently, he believed a Novella would 'sell' easier than a book with less wordage.
Only Time would give me that Opportunity to E-X-P-A-N-D it and became the Reason why I tacked on another Month -- the Month of April -- in which to make those Additions.
I have often wondered when a Painter knows when he realizes his Piece is finished; when it is complete and if it is of Masterpiece Quality (yet). Maybe it's just a gut feeling we artists and authorly types have that signals to us to step and realize that:
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
(a l r e a d y)
Therefore, working and writing every Day and proof-reading and revising every Night, after 3 full and exciting Months, SKiN grew from One Word:
SKiN
that was my Initial Thought to over 41,000 Words! Now, that's definitely the Way to spend a Cold and Icy Winter...one of the coldest on Chicago Meterological Records...indoors and hard-at-work on a Manuscript that poignantly and cleverly 'scripts' out what it means to be Human in the SKiN you are in.
Won't you please check back Tomorrow for more Insights (or should We say: skINSIGHTS?) into the Essence of SKiN.

SKiN ©2009: The Script, The Book & The Odyssey: The May 3, 2009 Segment
Chicago, IL USA:
A few Friends have mentioned that SKiN's Name or Title may sound like a SKIN Flick, and with that Thought in mind, let's quickly get to the Real SKiNny on that Comment for the Third of 31 Installments on the Book, Script and Odyssey named:
SKiN
The Answer (in a Word) is a scintillating (or SKiN-tillating) 'no!' Many times in our Daily Life, We are stumped and puzzled by Life Situations that arise...besides those things that go 'bump in the night.' These Happenings stop us in our Tracks and for a Moment, we have to stop in our tracks, (sometimes GASP), regroup and figure out what's happening.
Certain levels and frequencies exist to the Inconveniences (that can range from People to The Weather) that affect all Humans, Animals and Creatures on the Planet E. And, as We all know, it is The Objects that We come in contact with each Day that slow us down as We try to pursue the Work, the Arts, the Activities and The Dreams we need to do and get those Activities done, on a timely and satisfactory level.
I know this to be true because I'm officially now 56 & 9 months old (as of May 9, 2009) and there has been alot of Stimulus rushing past me for this Period that I can detail and have. SKiN is actually this Period of Observations on a vast many topics that have been near and dear to me as well as a thorn-in-my-side (left, right, back and far sides).
"OK, you say. Cut with the Psychology Today Lingo and Jargon already, Adrienne!" Which I always place in my BALE: Blogs, Articles, Limericks & Essays, as opening Filler and Insight.
Take 2: The First of Two (2) Main Themes of SKiN ©2009 is the intriguing Concept of:
Mixed Signals
that have been continuously throughout Man's Era since he learned to Tool-Make.
Continuously Mixed Signals surround us at every Move we make and made and with every Thought we have ever devised. Many of those Decisions were activiated by a Signal that was mixed and We had to make a quick Decision that was not one we had previously thought we would 'be' making. Needless to say, that Act alone can cause stress and distress.
Mixed Signals are how Humans interpret them, with whatever Abilities he/she possesses or doesn't. That's where the Trouble sets in and that sets THE STAGE for life (as it is), could be, should be and would be...if ONLY...
Those helpful Aids in accessing Mixed Signals include:
Knowledge,
Intelligence,
Common Sense and
Language Skill Abilities.
However, if a Mixed Signal is interrupted in the wrong Manner, Life for that Day becomes a Misperception, one that can have dire experiences for the SKiN you are in. It can become a Nightmare or a Marvel.
Presently, the Words accident pops into mind here, as well as trials and tribulations brought on because of what Mixed Signals cause.
Parenthetically and with an IT: Ironic Twist, each and every one of us is born...garbed in SKiN and that's where all those Misconceptions begin...in the Shades and Tones you are born 'into,' be it your Coating is:
Black, Brown, Red, Yellow or White.
Yes, all of the Daily Foibles and Mixed Signals that enter our Day can be traced to the Humblest of our Beginnings to our SKiN.
Does that mean We should instantly blame our Parents again (which many of us seem to do) for Things they have no Cntrol over or about?
No...it means that there are Situations that arise in our Days that need to be cleared up before Progress can be made...the Mixed Signals must be alleviated in order to get to the Heart of
WHAT MATTERS.
What Matters is the Second Concept that I address in SKiN. And, there you have it, Dear Readers: The 2 Timely and Prevailing Topics of SKiN©2009 is:
1) not a Commercial or Advertisement for Dove Soap
or
2) A Hustler Magazine Insert
or
3) a New Sun-Tan Product that alleviates UV Rays due to Global Warming and Wrinkles due to the splendors of Aging .

SKiN ©2009: The Script, The Book & The Odyssey: The May 2, 2009 Segment
Chicago, IL USA
Most of you have seen me with GORF, the 24" tall Plush Toy Frog with the 11" Grin that I have been promoting as:
'Chicago's First Green Mascot'
'Illinois' Foremost Toy Ambassador'
'Nature's Greenest Mascot'
&
'The Icon of The Green Movement'
since January 28, 2005.
Having proclaimed: 2006-2016 as:
THE DECADE OF THE FROG
with GORF officiating
I have devoted myself to helping this Endangered Species for a Decade of my Life. What's tremendous about the Creative Process is that it (in itself) can lead to areas that were quite unbeknownst before and this is how SKiN ©2009 enters The Picture.
WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT: SKiN ©2009 is the Script & Book about GORF (that's 'Frog' back-words, you know) and 9 of his Friends (all stuffed Plush Toys found in my Toy Box as I am an ardent Toy Collector since Birth) who also 'share' the Planet with Humans (People of the likes of me and you). Many of them are also on the Endangered Species List.
SHARE may be the wrong Word. There are, as we all know Folk who won't, wouldn't and haven't shared a Thing with no one else, or ever. That is The Premise of this Composition. As a Collective Whole,
THE TROUPE (i.e.: The entire Flock of Toys)
share their Insights as to how Man has survived this l-o-n-g on The Planet.
Hey, by just having prehensile thumbs and a bigger brain does not mean you are automatically King of the World, as THE TROUPE will soon discover. That's the Ammunition The Toys have -- as opposed to Man(kind).
That forms the Basis of the 10 Toy Animals' Dialog as they very carefully uncover and discover a Treasure Trove of Facts about Surviving, especially so when many of us (OK, put the 'Blame' on your neighbors)) are prejudiced and racial.
CLOSING: Stay tuned again tomorrow and for the entire Month of May for the next Snippet sketching out The Details of and Plots behind and underlying

Koopersmith releases: SKiN: Your First Introduction to The Book, The Script, The Odyssey.
Chicago, IL USA
On Sunday, October 5, 2008 upon my Selection by The Crew of the TV Series ‘She's Got The Look’ and being chosen as One of their Top 15 Contestants from a Pool of over 400 Chicago Hopefuls who had auditioned, a New Door was open to me…One that I had no Idea would lead me into The Role of being a Script Writer by May First: Today.
On that Fate-filled Day of Sunday, October 5, 2008, I wore a knee-length Faux Fur Leopard Coat, belted and extremely Sharp in Detail. With hardly a Stint of Make-up on (just a Splash of Mascara and Blush) and my waist-length Auburn Hair blowing in The Wind(y City, as Chicago is known by) Breeze, I became a Runner-Up and Girls, let me tell YOU: at Age 56, this was quite startling to say in the least and indeed an Ego-Booster.
But then, having never done Drugs in my growing up years as well as drinking, my Niche has always been to be in The Creative Arts. Riding my Street Bike (daily for approximately 8-10 miles since February 25, 1997) has ensured me with Optimal Health as my intention is to be ‘the Picture of Good Health’...at any Age, which is one of my Goals.
Judge Robert Verdi immediately liked my Faux Fur Jacket and Battery of Spontaneous Answers that I gave. He leaped off the stage and tried The Coat on as well as played with my Hair saying he had never seen one person with so much Hair in his life - Hair that was 'all over the place, natural curls and all.'
LITTLE DID I KNOW: The Coat was soon to become the Turning Point of my Life as a few Days later I realized The Significance of not only ‘looking good’ since First Impressions do count, but also respecting Nature. Winter was soon to be settling in on Chicago (as We Chicagoans now have 3 Seasons), those being:
Construction
Winter & Potholes
And 1 of The Items Chicago Women (of all Monetary Means) knows and wears is FAUX FUR...in all Prints, not only the Leopard Pattern that was the Favorite of the ‘She's Got The Look' Crew.
Due to this Event and what transpired afterwards, in early November, 2008, the Premise for Faux Fur Fridays ©2008 was commenced (as it has been outlined each Friday since January 2, 2009 'write here' in Koopersmithin' with heaps of Info, Stats and Facts that were gathered to entice more Folks to GO FAUX (FUR) that saves an Animal’s Precious Life and the Environment, all the while looking CHIC - Chicago Chic...(for starters)!
Because I am known as:
America's Premier Eventologist by Insight Magazine (Washington, DC) - August, 1997
&
The Premier Eventologist in the History of the World by the Chicago Tirbune (Chicago) - January 2001
this HOLIDATE was officially launched on Friday, January 2, 2009 and would be commemorated every Friday in 2009. With so many Individuals clothed in Faux Fur (not only in Chicago, but across the Planet), it was a delight to see and photo Folks as they dressed up in a Fabric that was once only available to Members of the Animal Kingdom.
THE CREATIVE CYCLE CONTINUES: Then, in January of 2009, it dawned on me that Faux Fur is the By-Product (or Buy-Product for those in Retail) of the most valuable Product of any one of us have and that is:
SKiN.
This Idea sent my Creative Prowess into overload and as of Today:

has been successfully completed and launched.
Its Premise is a very serious Topic: RACISM and getting along no matter what SKiN We are in. It is The Odyssey about how 10 Plush Toy Animals dissolve Racism as seen through their Eyes. Once reading this Tome, which has been likened to Shades of:
Alice in Wonderland & Through The Looking Glass
Coraline
Forrest Gump
The Phantom Tollbooth &
The Wizard of Oz
because all of the Characters step into another ‘Dimension’ to solve a Turbulence in their Life and/or Social Structure, it will eliminate any Racial Hatred, Bigotry and Prejudice that breeds in a Person or Community/Society. Wielding immense cross-over power as a Fairy Tale similar to AESOP's, both Adults and Children can grasp what the Message means and makes for fine reading literature for ages 4+.
Beginning on May 15TH, I will be starting to dissect each Scene (of a total 28) that will then be turned into ‘Cliff Notes’ for those seeking more of what is beyond the outer layer of SKiN.
One never knows what a Leopard Coat will lead us to...perhaps the Nobel Prize for Peace amongst all People with the Penning of:
SKiN ©2009.
Just think if I had only worn more mascara and blush!

Since I have eventologically slated May as National Marketing Month, the Original Plan is to 'sell' SKiN ©2009 as an Art Book for its first 11 Months until April 22, 2010 when the 40TH Year Anniversary of Earth Day arrives, at which time, The Book will be sold online and through major Book Stores.

On Sunday, October 5, 2008 upon my Selection by The Crew of the TV Series ‘She's Got The Look’ and being chosen as One of their Top 15 Contestants from a Pool of over 400 Chicago Hopefuls who had auditioned, a New Door was open to me…One that I had no Idea would lead me into The Role of being a Script Writer by May First: Today.
On that Fate-filled Day of Sunday, October 5, 2008, I wore a knee-length Faux Fur Leopard Coat, belted and extremely Sharp in Detail. With hardly a Stint of Make-up on (just a Splash of Mascara and Blush) and my waist-length Auburn Hair blowing in The Wind(y City, as Chicago is known by) Breeze, I became a Runner-Up and Girls, let me tell YOU: at Age 56, this was quite startling to say in the least and indeed an Ego-Booster.
But then, having never done Drugs in my growing up years as well as drinking, my Niche has always been to be in The Creative Arts. Riding my Street Bike (daily for approximately 8-10 miles since February 25, 1997) has ensured me with Optimal Health as my intention is to be ‘the Picture of Good Health’...at any Age, which is one of my Goals.
Judge Robert Verdi immediately liked my Faux Fur Jacket and Battery of Spontaneous Answers that I gave. He leaped off the stage and tried The Coat on as well as played with my Hair saying he had never seen one person with so much Hair in his life - Hair that was 'all over the place, natural curls and all.'
LITTLE DID I KNOW: The Coat was soon to become the Turning Point of my Life as a few Days later I realized The Significance of not only ‘looking good’ since First Impressions do count, but also respecting Nature. Winter was soon to be settling in on Chicago (as We Chicagoans now have 3 Seasons), those being:
Construction
Winter & Potholes
And 1 of The Items Chicago Women (of all Monetary Means) knows and wears is FAUX FUR...in all Prints, not only the Leopard Pattern that was the Favorite of the ‘She's Got The Look' Crew.
Due to this Event and what transpired afterwards, in early November, 2008, the Premise for Faux Fur Fridays ©2008 was commenced (as it has been outlined each Friday since January 2, 2009 'write here' in Koopersmithin' with heaps of Info, Stats and Facts that were gathered to entice more Folks to GO FAUX (FUR) that saves an Animal’s Precious Life and the Environment, all the while looking CHIC - Chicago Chic...(for starters)!
Because I am known as:
America's Premier Eventologist by Insight Magazine (Washington, DC) - August, 1997
&
The Premier Eventologist in the History of the World by the Chicago Tirbune (Chicago) - January 2001
this HOLIDATE was officially launched on Friday, January 2, 2009 and would be commemorated every Friday in 2009. With so many Individuals clothed in Faux Fur (not only in Chicago, but across the Planet), it was a delight to see and photo Folks as they dressed up in a Fabric that was once only available to Members of the Animal Kingdom.
THE CREATIVE CYCLE CONTINUES: Then, in January of 2009, it dawned on me that Faux Fur is the By-Product (or Buy-Product for those in Retail) of the most valuable Product of any one of us have and that is:
SKiN.
This Idea sent my Creative Prowess into overload and as of Today:
