Justine’s 1937 – Marquis de Sade et cetera

“Paris Calling” Bastille Day at Justine’s is imminent, and given how much fun we had last year, I can’t wait to see what kind of magic this year’s celebration will hold… Justine’s is so, so special – an amazing French brasserie where you can order a steak & frites and champagne at 1:00 in the [...]

Exquisite Corpse – Stray Cat Strut

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

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 [...]

Exquisite Corpse – Cinco de Mayo

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 [...]

Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau!

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 [...]

Eastertide

Eastertime is almost here! I can almost taste the candyfloss melting on my tongue, and those speckled chocolate robin’s eggs. I’m busy getting everything ready for our annual Easter Egg Hunt and Garden Party on Sunday, and remembering what a blast we had last year. It was an insane cavalcade of pastel frocks, sugared-up children, [...]

Waves

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 [...]

Exquisite Corpse + Charm School Vintage

The other night, Miss Shari Gerstenberger of Charm School Vintage and I joined forces to style an inspiration shoot for Exquisite Corpse, and to kick off a lookbook to guide anyone seeking ideas on what to wear. As a young gothling (eee, back in the day!) I had no access to expensive fetish-wear, and Hot [...]

Exquisite Corpse: The Phantom Photobooth

I can’t get enough of Devaki Knowles and her photo-magic! We just did a really fun shoot last night, and have more projects in the works, but for now I have to share the photobooth she did for the last Exquisite Corpse – our very first, the night of snow and strange rabbits. Amelia with [...]
