You’re over bundling up, feeling drab, and are just ready for a change, but it’s not quite warm enough to really switch it up and you’re not really sure if you’re ready to brightening up to full on Spring/Summer since it’s still Winter/Spring and your budget doesn’t quite allow you to go in for a little spruce up now and then again next month. Geoffrey Dicker was born with the gift of creative randomness. His writing career has seen the release of a book of abstract poetry called “Sketches of Verbal Alchemy,” and 2 albums of pop music by singer Jim Emmons that he penned the lyrics for. He has also designed a line of American Apparel “G-Shirts,” and when he is not attending art openings, meeting the rich and famous or standing in the front row at Rock and Roll concerts, he makes surreal paintings. Dicker’s limited edition photography prints are for sale via IGNITE Licensing. On the corporate side, he has worked for MGM Studios, where he managed the ultra-prestigous James Bond film library (for international TV licensing), has worked on the production side of a hugely successful reality TV show and even picked out all the tracks for “Ultimate Prince,” a 2 disc greatest hits set by one of his favorite musicians. He recently completed his first coffee table book of photography entitled Take It With Your Hand, and a second book of poetry called Unfinished Lyrics and is hoping to release both books in 2011 Every so often a client comes in with a big smile on her face. She claims she has found a cheap miracle hair treatment. Meanwhile back on the ranch her hair looks the driest I have ever seen. So curiosity always gets the best of me, so I ask: “Tell me girl, tell me about this wonderful new treatment that is gonna to change the world of hair?” Then she’ll respond ecstatically ”Olive Oil!” That’s usually where I make a disapproving face.

Harriet was not a woman you wanted to fuck with. She was a squat, mustached German immigrant who was built like a bowling ball and hated everyone who wasn’t white and Catholic and didn’t see eye-to-eye with her on every issue. Jake and I were both twelve – it was time he knew. I mean, how he went that far into life without knowing who’s wrapping up the entire Star Wars cast and extras and stuffing them under the tree each Christmas kind of defies any explanation; he wasn’t even home schooled. My great-grandparents quietly agreed with my defense and there wasn’t any real punishment following the dreaded phone call from Harriet shortly after I walked in the door that resulted in a forced in-person apology to a particularly traumatized and oxygen-starved Jake and Harriet. Still, I worried the whole rest of the year about what, if ANYTHING, I’d get for Christmas, and it was that year that I began setting aside a few Christmas cookies to bait Santa with – or whoever was responsible for forking out my much dreamed-about loot. Following are a trio of treats to bribe the Santa in your life with this Christmas. HO! [hack] HO! [wheeze] HO! [cough]
