Infamous graffiti gal Danielle Bremner (aka UTAH) is a free woman after serving out 6 months on Rikers and 6 months in a Boston facility. She was busted after a Bonnie & Clyde-esque 3-month tagging spree in Europe with her boyfriend in 2008.
The 27-year-old admits to tagging surfaces worldwide for the past 10 years, and now she's taggin' up the world wide web! (Sorry.) Bremner was recently interviewed over at Blogue, where she announced her new project: a blog. Her first post last month simply read: "I’m a free bitch baby!!!"
In the interview she discussed what that time behind bars was like, saying, "It’s just the biggest waste of time ever. It’s like hitting a giant pause button on your life ... It wasn’t cliquey like how its portrayed in movies or television dramas. Basically, its a bunch of grown women hanging out all day in their pajamas, reading Cosmo and watching Law & Order SVU."
Aside from watching television, she says she also slept a lot, learned how to make a lighter out of a double A battery and a piece of wire... and has no regrets.
