ABOUT TALES FROM THE BEDROOM:
With the exception of track 1, Johnny Dream, all other 5
tracks on the Love Cursed EP were recorded in Stefania's
bedroom, thus the name of our CD. The bedroom recordings
are, for the most part, acoustic.
Tales from the Bedroom is a limited run CD- Hint: Don't miss out!! ;)
The day I discovered the "Love Cursed" phenomenon was a smoggy, sunny day in Hollywood. I had just finished recording the Cherokee version of "Johnny Dream". (track 1 on the disc)
I knew that I wanted the title of the project to do something with love and sorrow... because those emotions have always been my muse. I went for a walk to think it over.
So there I was, walking down Hollywood Blvd, when I came upon a psychic shop. "What the hell"' I thought- "I got a few bucks..."
So I went into the psychic shop and sat down. She read my palm.
"All of your auras are bright, bright white." She said. "And you are going to be extremely successful in business- a millionaire."
I sat there amused.
"BUT:" she continued, "The aura around your heart is BLACK- black as night. Someone put a curse on you! You are... (dramatic pause) ...
love cursed." I sat there in shock. "What do you mean?" I asked.
"Love has never worked out for you. There is an invisible barrier between your heart and love, and it must be removed."
Now, I want to explain something here~ I want my readers to know that I took her words with a grain of salt. Part of me thought that she probably said this to everyone that walked in off of the blvd... a hoax to get money to take the curse off. But part of me... took it as A SIGN. There really couldn't be a better name for my music. Love Cursed. Ha ha ha. It was a serendipitous thing. It was perfect. It was me.
It wasn't long before I began to realize that the love curse was not just my own. There were LC souls everywhere I looked. The lack of real love today is an epidimec of glorious proportunes, an enigma. Love is out these days. Career and sex are in. Yet everyone believes in and wants love, of course! But WHERE is it? Is it real? Can it really last forever? Does it really exist? Who are weeeeeee? Should we all just give up and have drunken cheap sex and call it a day? Do YOU know where it is? Can you help? Is there a cure? The hell if I know. At least we know the problem exists. Perhaps that is the first step.
As far as for me and my curse, thank god for my music. And for my bedroom. And to all who understand the love curse. It makes me feel less lonely.
Hope you like the songs. ~xox Stefania, Queen of the Love Cursed

I have been away from Myspace for a while, because I had been painting until last week. This was the end of one year and 3 months of intense 15 hours work days, 7 days a week. I painted 10 large canvasses, and I'm really excited with the result!
This is a pic of painting number 10 that I finished last week. It's still untitled. The photo doesn't really show the intensity of the several orange and gold colors. I also used lot's of gold and golden glitter This one is my favorite. It really looks spectacular, when one sees it live. Acrylic on Canvas ( 72in x 48in / 1m83 x 1m21 )

I hope all is well with you. Stay strong and inspired.
Seek joy, first and foremost. Seek reasons to laugh. Seek reasons to offer words of praise to self and others. Seek beauty in nature, beasts and other humans. Seek reasons to love. In every segment of every day — look for something that brings forth within you a feeling of love. Seek that which uplifts you. Seek opportunities to offer that which uplifts another. Seek a feeling of Well-being. Know that your value can only be measured in terms of Joy. Acknowledge your absolute freedom to do any of these things or to not do any of these things — for it is, without exception, your choice in every moment of every day.
I believe- that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I believe- that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love. I believe- that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I believe- that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I believe- that either you control your attitude or it controls you. I believe- that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place. I believe- that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time. I believe- that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever. I believe- that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated. I believe- that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I believe- that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief. I believe- that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. I believe- that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you. Wishing you a peaceful week Love & Light --12--
