All my people need food and water
And Baby needs a new pair of shoes

NOT HINGED HEELS
Tracy Rubble of Nzuri spent the past few weeks learning how to make mesh. She’s on my plurk timeline, and watching her learn to make these has been a hilarious adventure, and truly watching someone blossom through their labor of love.
She’d post for help, post her frustrations, post her “OH NO WHAT IS WRONGs” but my FAVORITE one was the day she thought she was done and the shoes were GIANT. LOLOLOL.
Honestly, it was entertaining but also made me excited to watch someone grow and blossom. Continue reading
Vox clamantis in deserto
One of the reasons MadPea’s Carneval is so successful is the sound. With ominous mutterings, sussurating winds and voices crying out the sound adds to the atmosphere and adds the element of surprise that can startle one. They are not technically crying in the wilderness, but I am taking liberties with language today. I was well-prepared for the cold, blowing winds of the Carneval with my new Winter hair from Truth, complete with a winter scarf that changes color using a HUD.
I was not prepared for the ghostly shadows that appeared suddenly out of nowhere. I reacted with alarm, but I think the ghost was scared away by color. After all, his world is all black and white and there I was in a riot of pink from, oddly enough, Pink Outfitters. The lovely striped Lulu tube skirt comes in a rainbow of colors as does the Victoria lace jumper I wore with it.
Days End
I decided to continue getting things done today so after a quick stretch I decided to go for a run to learn my new neighborhood. Surely someone would be out and about, right? I mean – they aren’t all INVISIBLE. Are they… Continue reading
Partied Out – One Night Early
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
It’s Not TOO Late To Get That Party Dress!
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
If It’s Sunday, It Must Be Jazz
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.
The Days of Christmas
I love all the cold and bracing winds of this time of year. I was taunted last night by the Weather Channel with promises of snow. There is no snow. I should not be surprised, living in RL in the land of cotton (old times there are not forgotten) but I was hoping for a white dusting at the least. Continue reading
Twinkle Twinkle Velvet Gown
Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice excels at creating romantic ballgowns that combine classical design elements with a modern sensibility. Every year she releases a holiday collection that features stunning romanticism with high power glam. That’s exactly what you get with the Mana dress I am wearing today. From the modern era, you get the fabulously glam metallic fabric that forms the bodice and the half-sash that separates the bodice from the skirt.
Entertaining for Christmas
This year I get to host Christmas dinner and have been menu-planning for over a week and dithering back and forth between the many ideas rolling around in my head. I know exactly what I plan to make for my first course and second course, but the third course is giving me fits. I am serving beef tenderloin, but folks like a starch with their main course, so I am trying to choose between Pommes Anna, Patatas Aioli or Mushroom Risotto. I am planning on roasted vegetables for the other side dish. Anyway, my shopping list grows and luckily I have a gorgeous clutch to carry it and a handy pen around for reminding me of things I need to buy. 🙂
