Happy Halloween 2008!!!

This Halloween take the opportunity to step out of constraining gender role steroetypes! Drag Kings, Drag Queens, somewhere in the middle...have some fun and push the edges!

I hope I get lots of candy...I know, I know...carbon footprint, high fructose corn syrup, refined sugars...but its sooooo yummy.

It's a Dangerous World

Saw these in a store recently. Do you need armor - literally or metaphorically?

Palin Pee Stick and Obamaween

Recently I caught a few moments of conversation with Dail, my workmate and like-minded political sounding board. We were discussing the assertion by the McCain/Palin ticket that all babies born as a result of unwanted pregnancies would be "taken care of". So here's an idea...

Do you know someone who is pregnant? Would she be willing to pee on a zillion preg tests and distribute the positive sticks so we could mail, en masse, said sticks to the offices of the M/P campaign? You know, we would include a little note:

"Dear Sarah and John: since you have so graciously offered to care for my unplanned baby, here is proof that in about 32 weeks you'll be getting a bundle of joy. Not my joy, of course, but yours!!!"

I'm not sure if its legal to mail a "diagnostic" through USPS, so check it out before you do it. Be creative - this is guerilla artfare, people!

And speaking of art - its almost Obamaween! What? According to Dail, on Halloween you are encouraged to engage in an act of creative Obama support - think sidewalk chalk, puppets, blogs, car adornment, subway singing...again, it's guerilla artfare, peeps!

Boo! Ach!

Someone carved this on Saturday night!

Chris and Val's Octoberfest/Pre-Halloween/CD Release Party for Julie Corbalis at the incredible Marsh Sanctuary!

And that's the point of this post - to encourage you to go the the March Sanctuary...its beautiful. 'Nuff said.

Palinized!

Te Presento Ariana

Paleteria El Molino Rojo 86 Lafayette Ave.

Suffern, NY 10901(845) 918-1002

My friend (isn't she gorgeous?) Ariana, along with her family, opened a fantastic cafe. They serve sandwiches, ice cream, frozen and hot drinks - all homemade! If you live in a 30-mile radius, grab your scrabble board and go eat and hang out! In fact, if you're in NYC, its a great day trip on the MetroNorth. Kids are welcome, too. Y tambien, ellos hablan Espanol!

Astonishing Norge

I went to visit Laurie in Virginia. Now, you might pronounce it NORGE, with a soft G, but I think it sounds better the latino way - nor-hey...mas mejor!

Laurie took me to an...emporium. The Williamsburg Pottery Campground. As they state, "an astonishing array of handmade items made by artisans"...astonishing, indeed:

It of course begs the question, "what is an artisan?" Do you need to be able to pour plaster into a mold, period? Way more important is the question of target market: "I'm looking for a vase with an elephant. Yes, an elephant startled as he molests a tree."

And here's this little gem. Wait! do you mean to tell me I shouldn't eat plastic fruit? Are you sure? But its from China so it MUST be safe.
