Day in L.A.: La Brea Tar Pits & LACMA

La Brea Tar Pits

Me: "Oh, Slothy, how I love thee!"

Below pics taken at the "Hearst: The Collector" exhibition at the LACMA...

before they told me to put my camera away! Fascists!

Steampunk!

Steampunk is my latest fashion/aesthetic obsession. With its broiling mixture of the Old West, 19th century science fiction, pirate romanticism, Victorian nostalgia, and alternate-universe, steam-powered, fantastical technology, steampunk has captured my imagination. I've copied this style in a subtle, everyday manner recently, but I wish I had the courage (and resources) to go all the way. Actually, maybe I'll give my burlesque character, Kate Fox, a steampunk makeover. Now SHE could pull it off.

Happy Anti-Holidays!

Happy Holidays

This is my Christmas card for this year, drawn and designed by Andrea Gutierrez, the lovely artist behind Little Bighead. (I love this image in particular because the two characters look a bit like me and my husband!) Andrea's quickly become one of my favorite artists. Here's her Etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=101351.

I hope anyone who reads this is having a joyful and stress-free holiday season. :)
