Just a tease of photos from the last Gadjo Disko, from my friend
Chip Warren. I was so excited that he brought his camera, and
documented some of the magic of the night! More will be forth-
coming, but I’m having some technical difficulties and frantically
trying to get ready to hit the road for Mardi Gras! I can’t [...]

I am finally beginning to feel halfway human again after
le disko deluge, (yes more on that soon!)
As usual, it’s not quite Thursday anymore- but c’est la vie!
So many things have been happening lately that my heart
feels filled with stars and champagne, and despite disko-induced
aches and pains, I’ve been breaking into ecstatic jigs and hoppings.
Yesterday morning, [...]
Sorry for any radio silence, kittens-
I am so busy getting ready for this:
Gadjo Disko Eastern Bloc Party is a throwdown ethnotechno diskoteka dance party
with extravagantly spangled attendees rump-shakin’ to DJ Chicken Kiev
and a bevy of acts including The Amazing Franzsiska,
Mistress Stephanie and Her Melodic Cat, as well as a
Diskostani Glamour + Sickle Fashion Show by [...]
Normally I don’t end up posting the Gadjo Disko photos here until
just before the next one, for various reasons (mainly laziness!)
but it was such a fabulous night, I just couldn’t wait until then!
This ensemble was my favorite so far- even though I destroyed that lacy
chemise, and that rubber corset mutilated my solar plexus!
It was exciting [...]
It’s time for GADJO DISKO, babies!
I’m going to be up late tonight, working on my ensemble-
I’ve got to construct a skirt, since I couldn’t find a suitable one
anywhere- though I did experience a veritable shoe miracle!
I’ll relate the tale in full later- but for now, here’s a few of my favorite
images from the last disko, [...]

Once again, Gadjo Disko swallowed me up
in its glittering maw, only to spit me back up
days later- dazed and wondering how to get
this surgical adhesive off of my face..
Well, it’s really mostly off now- after many
scrubbings. What a night.
Words, as usual, don’t do it justice
so here’s so pictures instead to
give you an idea:
The thing about [...]

Oh lordy. ¡Disko De Los Muertos!
nearly done skinned me and hung me up to dry-
such an amazing, insane, magical night.
The costumes were truly incredible,
(as you can see below- a few of my favorites)
there were some mind-blowing performances
and best of all- everyone there was so damn happy!
This has become a noticeably common trait
since the inception of [...]
