It's springtime! It's SHOW TIME!
First off, thank you to all who made my birthday amazing! On March 30th, I celebrated RockLove's 2nd birthday and my 25th by having a 25% off one-day-only discount. About 100 orders cranked in (you guys know I never ever do sales that large), including an inbox-exploding influx of birthday well wishes.
Then was Viva Las Vegas -
Loads of fun with my main PinUp Angel Gals - Miss Kitty Baby (with me pictured), Marla Marachino, Becky Lee... I worked my ass off, had an amazing time, and sounded like a haggard drag queen by the end of the weekend. So spoiled being in NYC, the constant cloud of Sin City cigarette smoke really does a number to my voice. Despite it being my birthday (and Passover), I didn't have time to drink nor gamble, so it really was a tornado of diligence.
New friends from Sante Fe Vintage gifted me with a kickin' pair of 1950's black cowboy boots with green embroidered pin-striping. Rocked those around Manhattan just the other day, I love them! And the Viva Signature Necklaces sold like hot cakes (available online *here*).
This Sunday is the Nyack Springfest upstate a bit in Nyack, New York. Then soon I leave for the Old Pecan Street Festival in Austin, Texas (yes I'm bringing my new boots). Looking forwards to my first real trip down South... New Orleans is the only experience I have below Missouri and that was years ago. Wonder if my accent will sound funny to all those with a drawl?
More travel after that - LA for Ink-N-Iron plus Indiana for my brother's college graduation... in the meantime: REPO ZYDRATE GUN NECKLACES! At the moment, the powers that be are finishing up a few little business details, but I'm already casting and polishing the first few hundred. All is poised and ready for the official "go ahead!"
Soon my pretties! Along with new Press in Kink, Art Calendar, Snippets, AltNoir, and Gothic Beauty Magazine. Will post more about them as they go live... in fact, AltNoir is purchasable online right now and I have TWO fantastic editorial features. One whimsical feminine, and another a totally Gaga-inspired shoot! I'm quite impressed with the quality of this independently produced zine.
More as it comes... I'll leave you with this little goodie, a new steampunk graphic novel (visible free online but will also soon be published hardcopy). "Sailor Twain" and RockLove will be creating an exciting bit of merchandise in the future...
