with the Crazy Bitch Society that is !
Who are they ?
The Crazy Bitch Society is made up of Catrina "HellCat " Fels , Laura "Lur" Parsons and Amanda LaBella also known as the Presi-Bitches of the Society and 55,000 + of their members .
I stumbled upon this amazing site after a girlfriend of mine kept telling me about them , check out their page , I am sure you will fit on their " Shoe Porn Sunday " , immediately I was wondering what the hell is she talking about , did I hear her correctly , SHOE PORN SUNDAY ? Ok , so I clicked on the link and was instantly smitten with their page , the meaning who they are and what they stand for.
Unlike other women's empowerment sites , they give a new meaning to it , more like a movement , don't let the "Bitch" word fool you , they don't mean it in the sense of how women are stereo-typed to be a "Bitch" . Their definition of being a BITCH is this :
And I QUOTE :
This is a society with female members. A member lives by the following rules. She is free thinking, true to herself, self-assured, self-preserving, passionate, independent, confident and successful. She works hard for what she gains and knows what she wants in her life. She stands up for herself and those she loves. She faces life’s challenges with a smile and will speak her mind even if it’s a disagreement with the majority. She is self-achieving and often sacrifices in order to give to others. Do not be fooled though, she will not tolerate foolishness and is not easily intimidated. She knows how to have fun but can kick ass when needed. She is clever and knows to keep her friends close but her enemies closer. She can easily bring the best out in anyone and her excitement for living life is contagious. A Crazy Bitch can laugh at herself and loves to motivate others to see the best in all situations. Most Crazy Bitch Society members have learned to OWN IT because there is a little bit of Crazy Bitch in all of us ladies.
She is proud to be a member of the Crazy Bitch Society!
Soooooo , fast forward 6 months later , visiting their page , sheer inspiration just slapped me right across the face. I decided to contact them and ask them if they wouldn't mind if I created them a KillR Heel GC style with their CBS flavor and so I did and below is what I created for them in the month of October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
I have to say that for me drawing , illustrating is like second nature to me . I live and breathe it . Day in and day out I am doing something in my Creative Field , I actually cannot go a day without it , I admit it I am addicted . As I delved into their world I began to realize how much more meaning it had to me , I mean I enjoyed reading their posts and seeing how all the women interacted with each other , almost like a extremely enormous sorority of sisters. Never have I encountered so much positive energy and love in a group of women and here I was just absorbing it and literally inhaling their vibe in order to create what would become on of their shoes.
After I came up with my concept , laid down the sketch and brought it to life in color , I felt complete , like one of their newest and proudest members of the Crazy Bitch Society.

See , I am a CRAZY Bitch and I "OWN it " !
In My Words ....
Elizabeth of Grafitti Couture is a hardworking , dedicated wife to my hunky husband , mama of 4 rambunctious beautiful children , a badass Grafitti Coutur-ist ( Artist ) who is a non stop force in my Mode of Creative Flow . I stop at nothing to realize my dreams , chasing them relentlessly and achieving success every step of the way . I live everyday as if it were my last , I appreciate everyone and everything in my life , grateful for all my blessings . I am hot tempered ( but only when provoked & I am Colombian - that explains a lot ) LOL , I enjoy life's simplest pleasures like a hot or cold cup of cawfee ( coffee ) , a computer geek , bookworm , on the constant quest of higher learning .... I could go on and on but I think as you get to know me you'll see what I mean.
In short I am not a quitter , I fight for everything that means something to me , a huge supporter in chasing dreams and being everyone's cheerleader , bc in the end , I'd like to leave this earth knowing I helped people through my Art or my Words.
Those are the things that are important to me !
DRUM ROLL Puh Puh Please ...
GC for CBS Bitchin' Kitten Killr Heel
Now this heel was more CBS , this KillR Heel embodies the essence of what the Society is to me in my mind .
The symbols in the heel are of :
Wings : demonstrating , We all need to spread our wings and fly.
Hearts : Love can move mountains , Love can conquer all and my favorite :Do Everything with <3 !
Stars : Reach for the Stars .
Diamond Ring : Think Big , Be BIG ! Empowerment .
Roses : All the Beauty that lies within our souls.
Eyes : They are the windows to the soul .
Such an Ahmazing group of Women.
