Rick Genest aka Rico the Zombie shared his thoughts about being different in the The Avant\/Garde Diaries.<\/a> As a teenager Rick got diagnosed with a brain tumor. He got treatment and spent a long time waiting, not knowing what would happen. During this time Rick thought a lot about life, death and about himself as an individual person. At the age of 19 Rick started his full-body tattoo project and his own travelling freak show titled Lucifer\u2019s Blasphemous Mad Macabre Torture Carnival. As Rick explains his focus now is to embrace life and to live day by day. Walking the catwalk or doing his freak shows are just two ways of living his live but not the only ones. \u201cI embrace the idea of everything that\u2019s different and helps people open their mind\u201d. Whatever stage it is, Rick will keep going. \u201cI will always be who I am and do what I do\u201d.You can find more interesting talks from the The Avant\/Garde Diaries here <\/a> and their facebook fan page<\/a> is packed with interesting behind the scenes material<\/p>\n
