AHOY! Nautical Lolitas!

Lolita fashion is very D.I.Y. which is why I love it so. The look can be easily adapted to any theme you can think of. One of the more ever growing lolita looks is "nautical lolita" or "sailor lolita". This look can include  sailor collars and ties, sailor hats and stripes. This look is not to be confused with "seifuku" which is the Japanese sailor-style school uniforms. Another recently popular substyle is "pirate lolita", which is very heavy on the jewelry.

Adam Ant the Pirate and Daryl Hannah The Mermaid

It's the new harvest moon (a full moon) and I showed the crew of Naughty Nautical Nite the Stand and Deliver video from Adam Ant to give them inspiration for young aspiring lads as to what to wear for punk rock pirate D.I.Y. Couture.

Little did I know in doing so I would crack open my heart and brain so that for the last 4-5 days, day and night I can't get images of Adam Ant out of my mind! I'm working all day every day and all the other usual million shenanigans, but the whole time his songs play in my mind. Every spare moment I have, I watch his videos on repeat and Vincent found a video documentary on him that made it worse. At night I can barely sleep and when I do, I dream about Adam Ant. Jesus!

I've been crying about his ill mental health, while meditating to get over whatever chasm in my brain that video caused! I'm crying for his brain, but maybe I should look in the mirror. (like Adam Ant in the video Stand and Deliver...Aaarrrg!)

Anyways back to reality. I've always been on a Daryl Hanna kick, anyone with eyes in their head can see that. But now I realize after drawing the two Daryl and Adam LOOK ALIKE. They have the same forehead, nose, jawline, eyes, everything. My psychoanalysis of all this is that I saw Stand and Deliver and Splash in the same year, 1984, when I was 13. Clearly, these two made me the responsible adult I am today, who thinks she is a mermaid/pirate and does art and faggy cabarets while living in a dream world about what it would be like to sail the Caribbean. I think this is some unfinished business from my childhood (but what the heck isn't). Oh I just realized something, this is the same year I saw The Last Unicorn too...I'm totally fucked.

^v^ Thanks ^v^ 

A special thanks to Daniela Ballone for this beautiful portrait she made of me! Isn’t it wonderful!

..And Now, For Something Different

  Many people come to Savannah wondering where "is it at?" You know.. what ELSE is there to do besides go downtown and become a drunken yah who. Theres plenty hiding underneath the glamour of being able to drink outside. For locals its a little easier to find then it is for an unsavvy tourists. Being pushed towards River Street and Paula Deens restaurant (thats why were flyering the hotels downtown) because, we know that the REAL REASON they came here was to see some utter and total weirdness, a drag queen and have an aburdly awesome time. Ladies and Gentlemen I bring you Naughty Nautical Nite.

  Naughty Nautical Nite is almost upon us and the S.S. Fun Ship Cabaret will be docking at Tantra Lounge soon (September 23rd) in Savannah Ga. In-case you didn't know Naughty Nautical Nite was started in NYC by Dame Darcy and Jessica Delfino, and is the live action show that is put on by the EZ Bake Coven. The EZ Bake Coven is an artist collective with an art salon aspect to how it runs, and a sewing bee concept to arting in a group together.So when the idea came up to start a cabaret show,everyone decided to make it a nautical themed night that can adapt other themes within it as well. For instance one NNN was Alice in Wonderland themed and everything looked like Alice in Wonderland, except underwater. A cabaret show can include comedy, singing, dancing, theater, burlesque, performance art and of course don't forget a master of ceremony. When Darcy moved to Savannah she began looking for a way to start another Naughty Nautical Nite and another chapter of the EZ Bake Coven to go along with it. For the event planned to take place at Tantra  its going to be just nautical themed to kick it off ,with plans to adapt a Halloween theme for the October show. Who knows what we're in-store for Darcy informed me that at one NNN in NYC, a girl did a burlesque routine dressed up as a sexy fetus.With a bubble surrounding her body and a cord from her belly button to the bubble acting as the umbilical cord, she stripped teased her way out. Listed below is the facebook invitation to the Savannah event. As well as a link to the facebook group. Stay tuned for a postings from these guys profiling a featured performer and info everyday leading up to the party. Also heres a blog update from Dame Darcy herself!

Yes, you heard it right folks, DD.com is going through a big re-Vamp (pun intended) which means, very soon, new and old graphic novels and comics will be available to download onto kindle etc. I am workin’ my little witchy fingers down to the skeleton bone to bring you more new spooky fairytales. Here is an example of a new one... Love Dame Darcy

The Salt Maiden

Lets turn back the clock to a time when clocks didn't exist. The earth was an orb as it is today, but it had no water, and the creatures that now live in the ocean were clearly visible squirming around in the mud, flapping their long slimy tentacles pointlessly in vain.

Above all this mess shone the beautiful face of The Moon. She looked down with interest, disgust and pity at the pathetic loathsome beasts below and slowly turned in her orbit. Currently she is made of moon dust and rock, but then she was an egg made from smooth white salt that had not solidified quite yet.

She rotated and as she did, thin strands of moonlight wafted down upon the earth and entangled it like spider webs. Months passed by and eventually the egg began to crack. It took time eternal as we perceive it, but to her it was but a few moments. From the crack slowly emerged a beautiful baby made entirely of salt. Her skin was white, smooth and luminous and her hair lay flat and still against her head for there was no breeze on the moon.

In contrast, her eyes were dark and as deep and black as the endless universe surrounding her. The tiny glints of starlight reflecting back the shine she saw. Her salt heart would beat, counting the passing of time and thus insisting her growth but she had no need for lungs on the moon's airless surface.

^v^ Hand book for Hot Witches ^v^

I've lived in Savannah GA for six months now and I have to say life here just gets batter and better every day. It's like a magical vortex of freaks and anything I wish for comes true! Lately I've befriended other surreal writers and this has helped me put things into perspective. I believe that Savannah is like an onion skin, the more you peel the more weirdness is revealed and this is a place where the characters in my life range in all ages, races and religions and also from the spirit realm. I feel a wave swelling, and I think that Savannah may be to the children of the apocalypse, to what San Francisco was to the Flower Children of the 60's.

Love Dame Darcy
