A Spring Ball
Come one, come all! To the bizarre spring ball! You'll see things that seem oddly familiar and strangely fantastic! Where beautiful damsels parade in all their fine plumage and the dapper gentlemen hope to catch one's fancy. Its a gallant exhibition, held every year, outside under the stars. They drink from fine chalices and partake of sweet morsels, while the trees keep careful watch and bonfires light up the night. Come one, come all and join in the festivities!

What's Underneath
Oh, the olden days when garters and stockings were necessary and required! Glad those days are over, but I still enjoy wearing them, occasionally. Hey, if I had to wear garters and stockings underneath all my clothes, I would want them to be spectacular and over the top. No one else has to see them! My little secret...like these lovelies from V Magazine, Underneath It All.

Hitchcockia
Alfred Hitchcock had me hooked ever since I was a little girl. It was a rainy night in Italy, all of us heaped on a bed in our hotel room, watching Spellbound. We had no idea what it was, but it was the only thing in English! I find him to be a master in suspense, he's a really great storyteller, and the way he uses lighting and sets is spectacular. Sometimes I wish I could be in one of his movies, but alas! I was born the wrong era. Or, I could just dress up like Hitchcockian characters and have my own fun, like these famous actors did!

Awful sweet...
Awful sweet
to be a little butterfly
just winging over things
and nothing deep inside.

Its fun being a vampire.

Its fun being a vampire. by AspenMay featuring gold beaded bracelets
Inspired by the film, The Lost Boys. A very bohemian punk version of the vampire! Everything you need to be a bohemian vampire...feathers in your ears, military jackets from another era, gypsy skirts and scarves, biker boots and gloves, motorcyle for terrorizing the boardwalk, studded accessories, skulls(you are undead after all, may as well flaunt it!), and where would any vampire be without a pair of shades!

Foreboding- a fearful apprehension; a feeling that something bad will happen.
Just watched the original, silent horror film, The Phantom of the Opera (1925)! So creepy, even though I had seen pictures of the phantoms 's face before seeing the film, the unmasking gave me a little start! Great sets and silent acting. A bit dramatic, but when you can't talk...
Also I scoured the internet looking for the score. It's Franz Schubert's Piano Trio No. 2, Op. 100. There are four movements total, but the one featured in the film was the 2nd movement. It's great, the piano and strings take turns creating the foreboding march and the haunting melody. Here is a link to listen on YouTube: Schubert- Piano Trio No. 2, Op. 100, 2nd Mov.
