Hello, hello! Many apologies for the long absence and all the tumbleweeds drifting around these parts! I am returned from my travels, which proved far too fun and chaotically action-packed to do any of the updates I had anticipated. In fact, I barely had time to flick a finger towards my laptop – which was [...]

Magic Windows are portals into the strange and beautiful world I inhabit, and the marvelous people, places and things come across in my day to day – all captured with the aid of my handy magic celephone (it’s an iPhone). The Magic Windows series originated as an attempt to capture the ephemeral objects and fleeting [...]
Our New Year’s Eve was truly magical. Despite a rocky start fraught with Mercury’s meddlings, we managed to create a really solid camp and the coziest tipi yet! In a pinch, duct tape, scavenged rope and a random dental tool can be used to quite ingenious effect – the skin was sewn by Francesca out [...]
Summer’s dwindling has brought the storms: this one was coming for me before I began my journey. I outran it in high-heeled boots, the wind lashing at my leftover locks, head newly half-shorn, walking through the drive-through at the bank. A vagabond. I went to the marvelous Observatory Room for an opening of James Walsh’s [...]

(From the collection of Mark Dion and Dana Sherwood) I arrived in the city soundly, despite Mercury’s meddlings (delays, insane turbulence) and headed straight from the airport to the Hungarian House where my beloved Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band and The Luminescent Orchestrii featuring my old friend Sxip Shirey were tearing it up. It was [...]

Oh my. It’s been a while since I was last in New York. I just dug up these pictures from the last time I was there, and I’m flooded by memories of how much fun we had.. Now I’m even more excited about visiting again- it really is one of my favorite cities, and I [...]

This past weekend, we made a quick jaunt to San Antonio to see Elegant Enigmas: The Art of Edward Gorey at the McNay Museum. It was truly everything I could have wished for and more- completely worth the trip. I was practically weeping over his grocery lists (TV Guide, cat food, cat litter) and hand-stitched [...]

So, remember when I went to Chicago? I’m just now finding a minute to write about all that, so forgive the vast rewind- as per usual, I create my own time-space continuum and all that. I find myself in a hulking city packed with bodies and marvel as I let myself be buffeted like a [...]

I really only have a teensy snoppet of time just now- but as it happens to be Thursday, (well it was when I started writing this, anyway!) I feel moved to thank my lucky stars for some bits of assorted amazingness I’ve been experiencing lately: ♡ It finally rained yesterday! We’ve been in a terrible [...]

I look forward to the Krewe of Eris parade every year- it usually happens on the weekend before Mardi Gras, and this year (it occurred back in February, mind) it was quite chilly indeed. Luckily we were all able to augment our ensembles to accommodate both the theme and the weather! Last year we all [...]
