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 [...]

Exquisite Corpse – LOVECATS

Friday, July 1, 2011

For this month’s Exquisite Corpse, I chose the theme LOVECATS for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it falls on July 7th, which years ago I randomly decided was my beloved cat Junior‘s birthday. He was the most amazing cat I’ve ever known, and I still miss him horribly. I got him as a kitten when [...]

Peacock Spider Honey

Wednesday, June 29, 2011

✸ I’ve become very obsessed with Peacock Spiders recently. Certain experiences have been contriving to teach me to look very closely at the tiny wonders in our world: the mysteries of minutiae, the infinitesimally small and complex creatures who might otherwise be overlooked in favor of those grander in scale. These wee beasties wave their [...]

Summer Solstice – A Lush Green Wish

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

I kneel in the night on a high hill in the back country, I bow my head, and make this fervent wish, with the memory of green tendrils wrapped around my heart, squeezing there, holding me fast against the earth. By Kaycee A solstice wish for the rains to come back and wet the cracked [...]

Orlando

Friday, June 17, 2011

Oh today, today. I don’t really want to write about what today was like, because it was quite awful. Instead, I’ll write about something that makes me happier: my favorite film. I know, I know – just one? Is it even possible to pick only one? I think so. For me, it’s the film that [...]

Exquisite Corpse – Cinco de Mayo

Wednesday, June 1, 2011

For this month’s Exquisite Corpse, we will be dedicating the evening’s festivities as a special memorial to some of our friends and heroes who have died this month: Ramon, crazy-cat extraordinaire, Leonora Carrington – the surrealist sorceress, and to Nefairia Devi, Bharatanatyam dancer and true gothic beauty. Bring something to add to the altar for [...]

Sakura Honey

Monday, May 16, 2011

✸ I love these vibrant illustrations by A. Alexeieff for Russian Fairy Tales, from 1945 This bit from Eudora makes me want to track down a copy of my own: “These Russian tales are rambunctious, full-blooded and temperamental. They are tense with action, magical and human, and move in a kind of cyclone of speed. [...]

Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau!

Thursday, May 5, 2011

I did an interview with William Bass of Uweekly Austin about Exquisite Corpse recently, but I thought it might be good to post our full interview here, since I was able to go a lot more in depth about what my vision for the night is all about, where it comes from, and what I’m [...]

Waves

Thursday, April 14, 2011

O much neglected corner of the world – little quiet place where I come to lay down my findings, hollowed-out tree trunk where I store treasure. I am embarrassed at how little I’ve been able to find the time, the wherewithal, the peace of mind to write here. Too much has been happening for one [...]
