Disko Duets

Monday, June 15, 2009

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 [...]

Disko Disko!

Friday, June 12, 2009

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 [...]

Disko Dancing!

Wednesday, February 4, 2009

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 [...]

Ha-ha-halloweenie

Saturday, November 8, 2008

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 [...]

Salomé + Yma Sumac

Friday, November 7, 2008

I was Salomé for Halloween this year, as in Dance of the Seven Veils, daughter of Herodias, and all that. I suppose I oughtn’t have been surprised at how many people I met had no idea who Salomé was.. All obscure biblical references aside- I mean, really? The favorite femme fatale of the fin-de-siècle! “In [...]

Día de los Muertos – R.I.P. Studs Terkel

Sunday, November 2, 2008

I was saddened to hear that Studs Terkel died on Halloween. He was an amazing man, whom I had the honor of meeting a couple of years ago. We went to visit him at his house in Chicago on Thanksgiving morning. It was bitter cold and snow was on the ground, too bright- it gave [...]

Black Magic + Disko

Wednesday, September 17, 2008

The recent full moon and sudden turn in the weather has made everything extra witchy and strange.. I’m burning xoxoa incense I found in Barcelona (that inexplicably survived the hurricane three years ago..) and listening to Tones on Tail and wearing feathers in my ears. Everything is strange lately. Here is something that makes me [...]
