Magic Windows #23

Sunday, August 7, 2011

To christen and complete my newly cleaned and decorated studio, I got a little half-moon Siamese fighting fish that Colin named Finnegan. He’s adorable. It’s been a long time since I had a fish. The last betta I had, Nico, was given to me by my friend Jentz when she went to Morocco. He had [...]

Dithyrambalina: Musical Architecture in New Orleans

So!

Exquisite Corpse – Stray Cat Strut

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

My look for the evening ended up looking something like if Dark Lily from Legend had ended up doing it with a cat on the side. Maybe one that had a penchant for KISS? This scene is definitely at the top of my list of things that made me weird… Hello! Amazing. This may well [...]

Sweet Violets

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Earlier this month, we took a journey up North, where it is still spring. Little green fiddleheads are just starting to poke their drowsy heads up from the dark earth. The air was sharp and green, the black branches of all the stonefruit trees heavy with bright blossoms. Here in the South, it is mostly [...]

Mardi Gras Madness

Friday, March 4, 2011

We’re in a mad flurry of sequin sewing, trim-gluing and puppet-building leading up to Fat Tuesday, so I had better share this rundown of pictures from last year’s big day now, before I get buried up to my neck in sparkles and frippery! I can only pray that we are blessed with such weatherly perfection [...]

Krewe of Eris – Lux et Voluptas

Tuesday, March 1, 2011

Last year, the annual Krewe of Eris Parade fell on Valentine’s Day, making for a mighty romantic and randy procession. The official theme was Lux et Voluptas, or Light & Pleasure – but I think most of us couldn’t help getting a little crazy with the love + hearts. I mean, when else do you [...]

Big Blessings Poppin’ – The Devil Can’t Stop It!

Friday, February 25, 2011

It’s almost that time, y’all… My mind is already there, steeped in chicory, dusted in powdered sugar. Hungry for those sweet faces I ain’t kissed in so long. My heart quickens up when I think of riding down my old bumpity streets, turning onto Piety and seeing my favorite tulip magnolia shivering with blossoms. Ready [...]

Sylphide Treasures – Gypsy Honeymoon II.

Monday, December 13, 2010

This flock of blue morpho butterflies seems to be exploring… Gypsy Honeymoon is one of the special spots on my list of pilgrimages whilst visiting San Francisco. I met the ravishing owner, Gabrielle Ekedal the first time my grandfather and I dropped in, and we instantly felt a deep kinship. She is a very magical [...]

Maraschino Honey

Wednesday, December 1, 2010

★ This interview with Patti Smith in Japan just rocks my world. She is so raw, and unafraid – totally unfiltered, totally high. This world needs more role models like her. “I might be 31 years old, but I’ve just begun.” She is forever my hero. ★ This incredible interview with Sleazy is prefaced by [...]

Magic Windows #20

Monday, November 29, 2010

More Magic Windows photos from my New Orleans adventures: This house was decorated so wonderfully for Hallowe’en + Dia de los Muertos, I had to stop and gawp at it for a bit. I wonder who lives there? I like them already. A view from the back of Rusty Lazer’s trusty minivan, on the morning [...]
