Brooke : “I provided technical consultation for my friend Mott who created this cape she presented to Bootsy Collins in Austin, which he Graciously Thanked her for Publicly, shown here,preceding Blackbyrd McKnight’s rendition of a Hendrixified Star Spangled Banner.”
Maybe it was the homemade cape a fan gave him or the crowd chanting “Bootsy, Bootsy” before he took the stage, but the man who put the funk in the bass wanted to hang around ATX as long as possible it seemed.
The lineup looked like a future Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductee class. The legendary keyboardist, Bernie Worrel (Parliament Funkadelic, Talking Heads) was there. So was guitarist Blackbyrd McKnight (Parliament, The Headhunters) and Collins himself, who played with James Brown and Parliament establishing a bass standard for funk music. He even teaches an online course for advanced players.

A moving night filled with love & encouragement for *everyone*…

Bootsy jumped offstage,bonded with the crowd shaking hands & hugging many* adoring fans , on a song titled : “TOUCH”

YNN News ~Television Feature about Art for Your Head Entertainment Services~Heidi Zhou and Owl Morrison Pose as Living Statues-Lady Liberty and Angel for Morning Show

Local artist turns flesh to stone
Living Statues by Mott of Art for Your Head Entertainment Services for YNN News Morning Show (formerly News 8 Austin)
click on link above to view the video!
By: Heidi Zhou
Local makeup artist Mott Leonino said the goal of a living statue is to fool the eye.
“I like to create the illusion and then have that illusion burst,” she said.
That’s what Leonino does best. She’s been turning everyday people into the sublime for more than 20 years.
The process isn’t simple. Paint has to cover every inch of the model’s exposed skin.
Last week, artist Owl Morrison turned into a living angel statue.
“The tiresome part is getting it all off,” she said.
After the paint comes the powder, and an angel is born.
While she rested her wings, News 8′s Heidi Zhou got to start the fun. Leonino turned the reporter into the Statue of Liberty.
The paint is wet and slimy, especially when Leonino sticks it in your ears and between your toes.
“It’s like the weirdest pedicure you’ll ever have,” she said.
The hard part comes after the transformation happens. A living statue has to stand perfectly still. You can’t talk, laugh or whine about how much it hurts to hold up your arm.
“You stand still for so long that people just assume you’re a mannequin. When you finally do move, something as simple as a wink or an eye roll, people really jump,” Leonino said.
It’s all about art, and art can be painful, but it’s all worth it to turn what’s usually stone into living wonder.

I have had the distinct honor of working as a Costumer, Milliner, Mask Maker and Crafts person, at Morgan’s Studios for well over 10 years, where we designed and created Costumes, Millinery and more, for notable celebrities and events .
At Morgan’s Studios we crafted historically accurate Costumes for Gentlemen (Top hats and Tailcoats), Lovely Hats and Bonnets for the Ladies and Gentle Women, for the Victorian era Christmas themed, “Dickens on the Strand”.
During Mardi Gras/Carnival season,we created one of a kind, gorgeous masks and headdresses to match custom made ball gowns, for the Debutant Ball and many other parties. People came from near and far to have Danny create for them. He and his talented Krewe costumed many Mardi Gras Masked Revelers at the Grand Opera House,the Tremont Black Tie Masquerade Ball,and the many characters on the Carnival Floats for the Grand Parades.
I have learned much from my fabulous Mentor, Danny “Mr.Mardi Gras” Morgan and being so inspired , hope to continue his amazing legacy.

Neverpeak Mountain is the huge mountain that is right in the middle of Neverland. According to Peter Pan in Scarlet, when a child is on top of Neverpeak Mountain, he or she can see over anyone and anything and can see beyond belief.
Pixie Hollow is where Tinker Bell and her tiny fairy friends live and dwell
There are fairies in Neverland, and they are the primary magic users of Neverland. They are allied to the Lost Boys and against the pirates. It is hinted that the fairies actually created Neverland. The most famous is Tinker Bell, Peter Pan’s companion. JM Barrie wrote that “when the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces,… and that was the beginning of fairies” [4]
According to the Disney Fairies franchise, the Never Fairies (and associated sparrow men) live in Pixie Hollow, located in the heart of Neverland.[5] As stated in the Tinker Bell film, after the baby’s first laugh breaks into numerous (bubble-looking) pieces, any piece that can blow with the wind and survive the trip to Pixie Hollow becomes a fairy, who then learns his/her specific talent.
