Eastertide

Saturday, April 23, 2011

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, [...]

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 [...]

Mardi Gras Madness

Friday, March 4, 2011

We’re in a mad flurry of sequin sewing, trim-gluing and puppet-building leading up to Fat Tuesday, so I had better share this rundown of pictures from last year’s big day now, before I get buried up to my neck in sparkles and frippery! I can only pray that we are blessed with such weatherly perfection [...]

Magic Windows #21

Monday, January 24, 2011

The ring! Colin picked it out himself, (with input from Tamera!) I love it so much. It’s Victorian – imperial jade and rose gold, all hand-fabricated with delicately-chased swirling elements that resemble twining leaves or the tails of frolicking sea-creatures. I’ve chosen to wear it on my center finger, because it looks best there, symmetrically, [...]

New Orleans Hallowe’en

Thursday, November 18, 2010

Before too much time escapes through my glass, I must give you a little peepshow into the depraved and delightful scene that was our New Orleans Hallowe’en. It was actually a shockingly mellow night, aside from the total shitshow that was Frenchmen Street, where hordes of rat-like zombies swarmed around canisters of nitrous, falling over [...]

Magic Windows #18

Monday, October 18, 2010

A perfect lady. White hair and red roses please me more than I can say. This is a real thing that exists somewhere, this rabbit. He’s almost four feet tall. Can you handle it? Real rabbit fur, and composition. I wish he was mine. Oh Gaga. This shoot from Vanity Fair a month or two [...]

Bastille Day at Justine’s

Monday, July 19, 2010

The other night, we gathered for an evening of unabashed celebration to honor le Quatorze Juillet! Bastille Day is infinitely more fun than the 4th of July, especially when the party is at Justine’s – our favorite French brasserie located conveniently right down the road. There were shocking volleys of fireworks, an impressive guillotine, and [...]
