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 [...]

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

✸ 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 [...]

Exquisite Corpse + Charm School Vintage

Thursday, April 7, 2011

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

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

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 [...]

Exquisite Corpse: Black Rabbits

Monday, April 4, 2011

The next Exquisite Corpse night at the Swan Dive is quickly approaching, so amidst the flurry of anticipation and preparations, I thought I’d better get these fantastic photos up from the last soiree! All were taken by John Leach, tattooed lensman extraordinaire – who captured the beauty and madness of that cold winter night quite [...]

Finest of Flurries

Wednesday, February 16, 2011

Oh, hello! Do forgive the long absence from around these parts – for various reasons, I have just found myself either too busy, otherwise preoccupied, hibernating, or utterly confounded with archaic and sludgy-slow technology to muster up the moxie to get any posts up lately! Sometimes it’s good to take a break, but I’m hoping [...]

Birthday Surprise!

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

I may not be able to muster the language to accurately express just how outrageously marvelous my birthday extravaganza really was, and I wish that the few photos I managed to remember to capture that night could really do it justice (let me tell you that they don’t even really come close!) Dana and Raven [...]
