Go Ask Alice

With the release of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland comes, of course, the discovery of a million trinkets that will make you feel a little bit like Alice.   I was browsing Unique Vintage’s costume department and found a few Alice-inspired accessories that would add a touch of magic to any outfit.  (Click the images to Related posts:

Where’ve You Been, Babycakes?

Holy crap, you guys!  I’ve had about a week and a half of solid blog-neglect.  What am I out doing that’s so important I should be ignoring YOU? Well, for starters Mama got a promotion, so my life has had a little extra hustle to it as I try to adapt.  Besides that, I’ve been blogging Related posts:

Outfit – 11/7/09

AGES ago, I got tickets to see Ghostland Observatory at Showbox Sodo.  I’d heard of them off and on, and only just started REALLY listening when the tickets came out.  They play a notoriously fun show so naturally, I was excited to have tickets!

HAT PARTAAAY!

AKA – An outfit post! So as you may know, the Bird’s computer died a few weeks back… and with it, went Photoshop.  I got my work station back which is excellent upgrade, but Photoshop wouldn’t let me use my product key, so  I’ve been out of luck as far as a photo editor.  I’m currently Related posts:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Carve a pumpkin! (In case you’re wondering, yes, that horse-thing IS a unicorn. I’m totally awesome at carving pumpkins!) Carve a cannibal pumpkin… a scary cat… a gryphon or an abstract-o-lantern! I’ll update tomorrow with costumey goodness. Related posts:

I Want to Share with You

Jaka of Jaka’s Tea Party sent me this today as we were talking about life-changing decisions regarding picking up or putting down projects. It made me warm and fuzzy, so I thought I’d share with you, too. (Thanks Jaka!!)  I know it’s been extra quiet around here while I’m working overtime and getting ready for Related posts:

New Adventures: Bellydance at VDP

Bellydance… the word seems exotic and conjures images of beautiful girls in wispy, gauzy fabrics, jingling as they shimmy to eastern drum beats.  It almost seems like an impossible feat – the ambidextrous isolation of only your hips, only your torso, while making a strong statement in body movement.  When I tell friends I’ve enrolled Related posts:

An Evening with Scarlet Room

I mentioned I’d had the chance to go to the Triple Door for the Scarlet Room + Vagabond Opera show and take photos.  The entire night sang of the twisted and sweet, with a hint of Old World cabaret… The band is like a fantastic mechanical doll; churning out a whirl of circus and cabaret melodies, Related posts:

Behind the Scenes: Alabaster

We met at the Unicorn on the Cob show at Waids in Seattle – I was zipping around with my camera and Alabaster was there rocking out.  We happened to cross paths and Kate from Alabaster (she’s in the red shirt with the vest) mentioned they needed some photos.  I had some free time, so Related posts:

June 18th at the Triple Door – Scarlet Room!

I heard this band at my friend Jason’s Puzzle Party and was THOROUGHLY impressed.  Imagine yourself as Alice, falling into Wonderland as images of toothy grins and Cheshire cats, formed of smoke, go flying by.  To have Scarlet Room at the Puzzle Party was befitting of their music, and I have a feeling their show Related posts:

… outside the internet.  I swear to you, it’s true.  I know for a lot of people this seems hard to imagine, but trust me: it’s there. I’m sort of half joking, but sort of being very serious.  I had this realization a bit ago, when I realized just how much of my life I was Related posts:

Parasol Party Review

This show was the icing on the cake. It wasn’t the cake, because cake is DEFINITELY too plain a food to describe how gorgeous this show was. Kim had spent a busy few weeks preparing dresses, and I’d glued together a bunch of feathers, flowers, ribbons and bows to adorn models with.  We decided to Related posts:
