Does anyone still make mix CDs? When the husband and I were first dating, he used to make them for me all the time, and I’ve been feeling nostalgic for them lately. Of course, CDs feel sort of ...
I give you the last 2.5 weeks, as seen through my wonky Virgin Mobile Android: Prop-makin’ for a new routine. Backyard fire at my friend Courtney’s. Idyllic in Somerville. Allix Mortis ch...
Some weekends are busier than others: sometimes the most I accomplish is a shower and a glass of wine. But last weekend? Not only did I shower (twice!) and have a number of glasses of wine, but I eme...
My mom used to sing this song to us when we were little. Now this weekend, with the husband’s 34th birthday right behind us and my sister’s wedding in two days, it’s stuck in my hea...
So, as I alluded to in my last post, I’ve recently been indoctrinated into the world of Instagram. For someone who, ten years ago, railed against digital photography in general, I’m defin...
NOTE: I promise, dear blog, that I will not let the fact that Instagram is now (FINALLY) available for Android come between us. Speaking of which, let’s talk photos (and some other things). In ...
Today, adulthood looks like this: hand-stitching, hot-glueing, smoothie-drinking, Crosby Stills and Nash’s “Our House”-singing.
Lunch break today. Sunburn in March? I’ll take it.
From the moment I had any say in the matter, I was a girly girl. This was actually quite a feat, in light of the way I was raised. Those of you born in the late 70s and early 80s may remember the g...
Okay, blog. I’m here now. I’m sorry I neglected you; I’ve been busy with shows. I know, lame excuse. How is it that busy-ness leads to extreme laziness? The evidence: piles of c...
Super full weekend + broken interwebs in our house = haven’t been able to update much! I shall return shortly!
day twenty two: where you work Yep, that’s where I work. The office where I’m a receptionist is up along the rotunda. I have a pretty sweet setup.
day twenty one: a fave photo of you That’s me on the left in full NYE regalia, complete with big ol’ false eyelashes, with my friend Lisa. This was New Year’s ’10-R...
day twenty: handwriting Spent a good chunk of my day off with good people, eating good food and drinking good drinks, at Trina’s Starlite Lounge. Their bloody Marys are delish and our w...
day nineteen: something you hate to do Ugh. Cleaning up after myself. This is one part of adulthood that does not come easily to me, particularly after performing two nights in a row. Oh, and now s...
Something I love about my life? I get to live two of them. Seriously! Since I started doing burlesque in 2010, I’ve gotten to have two identities: Emily and Polly. Polly channels Stevie Nicks...
day seventeen: time This one is totally cheating, but hot damn, am I tired. We’ll call this one “time to wash off all that damn glitter and go to bed.” Our show was amazing...
day sixteen: something new My new wig, on my makeshift wig stand/cardboard box on the toilet. It was looking a bit stringy, so I rigged up this setup to encourage it to foof up a bit. I’m wea...
day fifteen: phone This is from my dollhouse, which used to belong to my Grandma Margaret. When I was young and visiting her in Kansas, I’d spend hours taking each little item out, hold...
day fourteen: heart That’s right, that <3 counts as a heart. This is from the note that came with the flowers sent to me at work today by my sweet husband. We don’t usually do anythi...
day thirteen: blue The lovely Busty Keaton in her blue dress at the Rogue Revue show tonight. This photo really doesn’t do the dress justice; it was polka dotted and oh-so-flattering. A...
day twelve: inside your closet Something you’ll learn about my personal aesthetic: I love color. Crazy prints? Even better. I also love the various places I find the things I wear. J...
day eleven: makes you happy This is my friend Nicholas with the husband, at the Chili Cook-Off tonight. It’s become an annual tradition with our friends, and tonight was full of lots of good f...
day ten: self-portrait Quick mirror shot before heading out for the evening.
day nine: front door The front door of Oberon, where I was tonight for Traniwreck. Songs were lip-synched, people were sainted, dollar bills were thrown, and a grand time was had by all.
day eight: sun Sunlight coming in through the huge windows in the reception area today. And a little of the ocean in the corner, too.
day seven: button I didn’t notice until I got to work today that the cardigan I was wearing (that I got at our clothing swap) has rhinestones for buttons! Also, as a bonus, you get the buttons...
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had this need to always have something to look forward to. There have been times, when I can’t sleep, that I’ll concoct elaborate, cinematic sce...
