Cabaret De(con)structiv - total success!

The cabaret show this weekend was a fantastic success! People came and watched the show, clapped and loved it. Everyone involved had a great time, and amazing friends kept appearing to solve problems almost before they could happen. We are already in discussion with the venue for a series of three dates this spring, you can be sure we are going to do that again!



check here for more images etc, and keep us on your mind!! Coming up we have our holiday blowout event at Brava Theater on Thursday, December 4th. I have been in steady communication with the theater and all the designers, and everybody is getting on board! it's going to be an amazing show. Stay tuned to the Pandora's Trunk website to find out details on all of the artists involved... that web update will be coming in the next few days!

It is a busy and crazy time but man I kind of love it! I hope you are all doing well!

I went photo-strolling this morning with some friends and got to see some spooky-silent grey and beautifully decrepit parts of town. Beautifully toxic too, I am sure.

Check out more photos here, and stay tuned for another post about Cabaret De(con)structiv, our amazing success last weekend!

This event is really shaping up! Chatting with all the different artists involved is really reinvigorating my creative energy! Everyone has so many great ideas, it's making me really excited to carry them out. That's good, because it's a lot of work!! Come and see what we're working on! We're making sangria :)

Cabaret De(con)structiv is a fashion show turned on its head, a costumed storytime in cabaret style. Drag performers and captured princesses mix with bad banker men and jeweled birds, set to viola and saw music. Check out a fully produced stage show, performed to live music, and meet and greet with the clothing and costume geniuses behind it all. Buy the fashions that you see onstage off the rack, fresh from each designer's hot little hands.

De(con)structiv is really coming together!!!

Whew. After having to - very unexpectedly - temporarily relocate Medium Reality Studios, I was stricken with The Flu. It's become a pattern: anytime something super stressful happens to me, when it's over, I get sick. This spring I kept the flu at bay with vitamin C but wasn't as successful this fall, ending up laid up in bed for almost a week. I am on the mend, though, and my new studiomates have been very kind in putting up with my pathetic attempts to get work done while hacking like a victim of the Black Plague. Charming, I know. Now that my head, and lungs, are clearing, I am able to put some thought to November 22nd's Pandora's Trunk. Eeek! That's pretty soon. The event is coming together in fits and starts, although I do sorely miss the previous week. The violist called me today and I sent her the script to take a look at so that she can maybe get a chance to, oh, practice the music she will use for the show? She is very relaxed about the time situation and is prepared to wing it a little! Bless my friends and their indulgence of my crazy visions. A few days ago someone emailed me asking to help manage december's show. Yes please! Now I just gotta get butts in the door to see what everyone's been busting ass on!!

While you are waiting, on tenterhooks, to hear more about the show, check out this awesome director lady's post about a tie I sent her... sending product through the mail reminds me of glue sticks and zines and high school. I try to come off as more sophisticated now but it's the same basic itch being scratched, don't kid yourself.

Putting together a show like nobody's ever done before

What a funny feeling! Innovation is always dangerous, both to the status quo and to the innovator. So much could go wrong! You have to keep explaining what you are doing!

November 22nd Pandora's Trunk is going to be amazing. We are producing a runway show like nothing you've ever seen before - it's not just a series of talented designers, it's also a storytime fable narrated by a spooky awesome drag performer. December 4th will be that, x10.

Come on over!!
