“Let’s do it! Let’s MOON!” By Yvonne Rainbow

~ One sunny afternoon in January a gathering of women friends were sculpting clay figurines in the pottery studio when suddenly Kimchi said…
 
“Let’s do it ~ Lets MOON!”
Asked later what inspired her, she said:
“It’s taboo in our society to show our asses, and its always been taboo when I was growing up.
Maybe you all have had the experience of Mooning – and how liberating that is, how freeing that is, and I thought to myself:
I got some folks (women) in here with me, why don’t we MOON? ~ and I love glitter!!!
So glitter is kind of like – that we are Alive – we are tapped in, tuned in, turned on!
So I thought, wow combination of our delicious buttox’s ~ and sprinkles, so I decided –let’s put it all on video!
So I called us together, and I said: Let’s do it, let’s MOON the world, no the Universe!!!
Because there’s nobody else in the universe that’s doing this ~ except for us, and that’s what we do!!!
And I just wanted to say: Hey women, here we are, let’s do it!”

~ These naked butts are sharing their thoughts on what happened…
“Kimchi has always helped shake things up by getting the energy flowing, and when I first arrived in this little valley 15 years ago, I realized I was way too serious!  One quality I have had throughout life is feeling comfortable in my body, but with too few ways to express it!
Doing this spontaneous group, glittery moonbow helped lighten up my process of losing our dear friend in her physical form, but the ways in which she influences and touches our spirit will live on FOREVER!”
By Pegasus
“So many women dislike some part of their anatomy–including their butt. I loved how we all celebrated our and each other’s butts on this day!
Kimchi is mourning the loss of the bulk of her butt, which used to be a bit bigger before the cancer, but it is still wonderful!
Let’s all celebrate our bodies and be proud of them! They serve us well no matter the size or shape”.
By Samantha Jiggenbottom
“I like to take any opportunity to reflect the delicious sunshine on my bare bottom buns. And so, the temptation was irresistable when I was given the chance to join the line up of multiple liberated jolly rumps, sparkling of glitter, shimmering in the magic sunbeams of this precious afternoon.
It was truly an exhilarating and satisfying jiggle fest of a moment.
Thank you to all who participated and especially to that very special instigator ~ she who says: “F***-it! Let’s go for it!” (you know who…)
By Butt Jiggle

“Who knew butt-fat could be an asset?

I am humbled before its jiggling majesty.”
By Lady Shake-a-lot

~ and so we are left to laugh with Kimchi “Because there’s nobody else in the universe that’s doing this ~ except for us…”

Bad Breaks and Heartache -Video

In case you were thinking it is all laughter and glee…. Feeling the grief of all you are losing –and letting go– is hard work. In this video, Kimchi is working on a collage about all the “We’s” she is having to let go of. She is arranging little snippets of phrases already cut out from a much earlier collage session. It was a hard day –pain, opiates, belly distention. Mid January 2017.

Kimchi in my Kitchen-Video

This little video is a tasty mash-up of topics steeped in the interior juices of Kimchi’s perspective. Topics include drugs, shitting, Hospice, grief, pain. Lots of smiles and laughter! This was filmed the day after Kimchi got back from visiting Colorado where she saw her aunt and went to a personal growth workshop with a couple of good friends. December 2016.
