Mardi Gras Madness
by angeliska on 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 (…)
Krewe of Eris – Lux et Voluptas
by angeliska on March 1, 2011
Last year, the annual Krewe of Eris Parade fell on Valentine’s Day, making for a mighty romantic and randy procession. The official theme was Lux et Voluptas, or Light & Pleasure – but I think most of us couldn’t help (…)
Big Blessings Poppin' – The Devil Can't Stop It!
by angeliska on February 25, 2011
It’s almost that time, y’all… My mind is already there, steeped in chicory, dusted in powdered sugar. Hungry for those sweet faces I ain’t kissed in so long. My heart quickens up when I think of riding down my old (…)

by angeliska on December 13, 2010
This flock of blue morpho butterflies seems to be exploring… Gypsy Honeymoon is one of the special spots on my list of pilgrimages whilst visiting San Francisco. I met the ravishing owner, Gabrielle Ekedal the first time my grandfather and (…)
Maraschino Honey

The J.B. Blunk Residency
by angeliska on October 26, 2010
Back in September, when I was visiting San Francisco, I had the opportunity to experience a very magical place, high up in the green hills of Inverness: The J.B. Blunk Residency, which is sort of a secluded zen fairy cabin-haven (…)
Sur la Plage
by angeliska on September 15, 2010
It’s quite amazing what a week or so away from your everyday life can do for one’s perspective. I always return from my travels newly inspired, and oddly even more in love with home, and the city I live in. (…)
Krew du Poüx!
by angeliska on February 24, 2010
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 (…)
