MAGICALLY DELICIOUS

It's true that fae do not always blend well into the human world.

We try to pick up on human mannerisms and style of dress, but sometimes we just get it wrong. We might wear suspenders fifty years after they are out of style, or rainboots with a ballgown. But the suspenders will be from an expensive London atelier; the ballgown from a Paris salon; the rainboots, probably filched from a Wisconsin barnyard.

But not these boots honey.

FANG CANDY

It isn't exactly a ballroom, but I am waiting in it to dance.

Finally he is back ...

(I thought if I am wearing Fhang Candy I might as well be Fang Candy? I am eating up this gorgeous subtle dress that Evie put out at the Summer of Love; it seems black at first glance but it is really very dark red. There were other colors but I just had to have the Red.)

VIVIAN RIDES AGAIN

Vigorous application of your crop will push your steed to a speed that you would not have found credible. However a mortal rider may not be able to keep their seat.

Sit tall in the saddle and do not fear your mount. He will know it.

HOPE

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.

Problem is, sometimes it can sit right there on your shoulder ... but you can't see it, you can't hear it, you can't feel it.

But as I heard someone say once, when you cannot see the light, you may still walk in the memory of the light.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

Some really spectacular fireworks over here ... hopefully they will stay up all day for the fourth. Everything but the smell of gunpowder and a light sprinkle of ash.

When asked what form of government the new United States would have, Benjamin Franklin replied, "A republic ... if you can keep it." In honor of Independence Day keep the spirit of freedom alive. Maybe a bitta gratitude would be good too. Have a great day friends!

STEAMPUNK STEPFORD

She's the perfect woman. Glowingly beautiful, poised and ladylike. Her conversation is the perfect balance between intelligence and wit, without being too intimidating for those of indifferent education. She makes every guest feel welcome and comfortable, and keeps trays of drinks and hors d'ouvres circulating throughout the room.

Maybe she's too perfect.

There is a strange gleam in her eye ...

(Take a closer look at this last picture to see the details of Frick's Clockwork Eyes ... they are from a gacha machine at this weekend's Bacchanal. At L$13 you can afford to get several colors. But this Bacchanal will be over Saturday night at Midnight.)
