My friend Alicia, over at Ch’Know Style had a NYE celebration early and I’m afraid I came home a bit late. Breakfast wasn’t really my cup of tea after such a long night, but I felt like I needed to try to eat something before facing my pixel New Year’s Eve officially.
I’m not saying it was a great party, but apparently I’ve committed to creating Peeps Anal Beads this Easter. That’s gotta mean something. Continue reading

Chic is the word for this Drift jacket. You can see its lineage in the glorious history of Chanel with its short-cropped waist, it’s beautifully tailored fit and the rich wool fabric. The skirt, from CIA Designs, is beautifully made. With its relatively high waist, it will work well with all sorts of tops and jackets. For the With Love Hunt, it is only 10L and comes in red, brown and blue. It is one of the can’t miss hunt items. Make yourself comfortable and you should find it.
New Year’s Eve has never been a big holiday in my family. Most of the day was spent cleaning and preparing for New Year’s Day which was much more important. We always had a sparkling clean house and a feast on New Year’s, honoring a folk tradition that what you experience on New Year’s Day is the harbinger of the coming year. Well, one thing you would not want on New Year’s Day is a hangover! We didn’t make resolutions either. This was probably more the influence of my mother more than any tradition. She always said that if you plan to do something, just do it. If it’s important enough to do, it’s too important to delay until the new year. What we did do, though, is look back at the year and appreciate our good fortune.
Those traditions continue. I have been cleaning today. I am having a New Year’s dinner party tomorrow. And I have been looking back at 2012 and appreciating my good fortune.
Sascha Frangilli sent me a note that said if I wasn’t too busy chasing around ducks I should check out this gown.
That might make no sense, except that – Sascha and I are RL facebook friends and she and several of my other friends thought that my quest for a duck for Christmas last week was for a duck for the yard or pond. I don’t have a pond. But, if I did, I suppose a duck might be a nice edition. Continue reading
So waddya like in a party dress? Something kicky and festive? Or something formal and elegant like the black HOCO dresses 2022? Well, luckily, the grid isn’t running short of either this last holiday bash of the year. Continue reading
I had the unexpected opportunity to take another photo in my boy avvie, sliding one in before the end of the month! I’m sporting goodies from Schadenfreude today — antlers from the excellent stocking that Allegory puts up every year, and the Prize Pig too! The vest is from her FLF offering yesterday, and the rest of the outfit is fabulous stuff from ~silentsparrow~. There’s a close up on my manly makeup job (including undereye sequins from Miss Shippe’s Shop) after the cut. I do believe that the Schadenfreude stocking is still up at her main shop, if you missed this lovely yearly freebie!
Two more photos and credits behind le cut.

I play a classic jazz set every Sunday morning from 9 to 11 AM SLT at The Velvet. Usually I focus on the oldies from Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon, Zoot Sims, John Coltrane and many others. I have a strong preference for the old jazz greats but the old jazz forms are still powerful influences on today’s jazz. With the year end upon us, I am doing a special set looking back at the fine jazz of 2012. I hope you can swing by.
Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice has created a fabulous dress perfect for any jazz chanteuse. I wish I could sing well enough to be a chanteuse of anything. However, I am perfectly dressed to sing. The heavy silk charmeuse drapes as beautifully as a caress.
