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.

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.
