GoGaDoll 2009 Wedding Ceremony

As you know, Orchid gets married at a UFDC show this January 2010. In answer to the many queries of, "Will a minister preside?" The answer is, "No." She will be married in public, where you can indeed see her on her wedding day, but there will be no throwing of bouquets and no wedding hoopla. Knowing that we would like to do a catered party at a hall on the water later in the year, people ask, "Will there be a minister then?" The answer is still, "No."

Often I wondered, where do people get the idea that a minister should preside at a doll's wedding? In my mind for a doll show, surely chocolate kisses are enough. At a lavishly catered affair, wouldn't people be interested in socializing, dancing, and music? However, yes, dolls would be invited; it's a doll's wedding.

The Golden Gate Doll Association put on "Weddings San Francisco Style" this past weekend. For those of you who will someday attend Orchid's wedding to Doug here on the east coast, take notes on how different the affected affairs will be.

Orchid's Wedding Date

The long awaited date has been set ! Mark your colorful calendars for the first elegant event of 2010.
.
Orchid will marry Doug on Sunday, January 24th, 2010 at Patchoque Manor here on the island. The town of Patchoque is located in Suffolk County on Long Island in New York.
.
Yes, we are talking a dolls' wedding. No, I do not expect them to stand up and take their vows. If they simply stand up for the day, I will be more than pleased. Orchid is a UFDC Doll Fanciers' Triple Award winner. As such, she is accorded priviledges no other doll would dream. This year, the club will host her initial wedding celebration. It is my hope that Orchid and Doug will move on to a full blown party later in the year.
.
You are all invited for January. An admission fee of five dollars or so goes to benefit the generous non-profit UFDC Doll Fanciers chapter hosting the day long show. More information on the UFDC and its many incarnations can be found here: http://www.ufdc.org/ .

Music for Orchid, Doug, and their wedding can be found here: http://catcara.livejournal.com/ Tag: music.

The date of Orchid's bridal shower has yet to be determined. We are hoping to do it this summer. Remember, you can always join the 'journal' and plan along with us.

Be Careful What You Wish For

Vapor Lovers

Performance art nudity warning. Music by the late Jeff Buckley. Watch it; it's beautiful.

Lindsay Kemp

It is a good thing that for everyone who complains, there are ten people who cheer me on. I received this video in response to my "Velvet Goldmine" complaint. It comes from Britain with the explanation, "The nightmarish green thing is based on Lindsay Kemp who taught David Bowie how to move on stage."

This is not for anyone who does not appreciate Cirque du Soliel, ballet, or performance art. That being said, you may decide whether or not to chance viewing it. I must also warn you that opera just might be being played in the background.
