Dark Path Chronicles

Crisp days, crisper nights. The wind was howling outside. On this chilly Autumn evening we went in search of something to put us in the mood for Halloween.
.
We found "The Dark Path Chronicles". Seven ultra-short rather obscure episodes were originally aired on FearNet. If you are afraid of undead vampires with long teeth, do not watch them. Otherwise, find the dramtic story of poor good looking Jurgen here: http://www.fearnet.com/shows/dark_path_chronicles/index.html

October 2010. Don't miss it. Lara Stone has scored the cover.
.

Halloween Countdown

Go Ara Fairytale Singles Spread

"Singles" magazine featured Go Ara in a Fairytale themed photography shoot. See it here: http://www.fashionitstar.com/2008/11/thumbelina-princess-and-pea-robin-hood.html

Hansjurgen Bauer

Richly, darkly, erotically, surreal photography. Medieval texts are super-imposed upon pre-Raphaelite colors. Take a look. The work is evocative and stunning. Much of it is darkly disturbing.

Langley on Whidbey Island




A town on an island full of antique shops and book stores. Who could ask for anything more? Find Langley here: http://www.visitlangley.com/

Silence is Golden



As the twilight of Indian Summer deepens, the sound of stringed instruments tuning up for the party can be heard floating over the sound of the crickets. Silence haunts the garden.
.
Groomed by the Queen of Slantways, he is a favorite horse. Well, a 'favorite' of mine. You will not see him on exhibit in October.

The Sitting Room

"Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly" I ask you to remember this phrase when you visit my October exhibit.
.
It is approaching time for us all to return to Stephen's mansion in the United Kingdom where this year's ball will take place. The coach will be arriving promptly at twilight. Take your seats and visit here: http://www.darkhousequarter.com/ .

Will See, Won't See

You will see Baby Chloe if you go to the October exhibit. You won't see Edgar.
.
No dogs allowed in the library, you know.

Vivi

Vivi has been helping me make Weeener's rather extensive wardrobe. Since I was not sure what Weeener would like to wear, Vivi convinced me to make her a little of everything. Vivi is visiting Little Cow Harbor from the sunny state of California.
.
A rather exotic creature, Vivi is a pedigreed default 'Soom Glot'. She was born in Korea. She is the same size as Weeener.
.
Come say hello to Vivi this October in Harborfields. Check the calendar here for hours and directions.

What You Will Not See

Homeward bound, she is. Perfectly groomed by Christy Johnson, she is. Well-behaved and able to dance, she is. She is able to read. She might even be able to fly.
.
Weeener is extremely adorable, if I do say so myself. I had so been looking forward to her being home for the Harborfields exhibit this October. However, Weeener is literally 'On Tour' at the moment and I will be lucky if she arrives home by January.
.
Instead of Weeener, I do have a surprise for you. We have a little guest in Little Cow Harbor who is the same size as Weeener. In fact, she is almost the same species. I am waiting for a photograph of her and then I can introduce you.
.
Yes, the surprise guest will go on exhibit in October. You will be able to meet her in person.

84 Charing Cross Road

A film for book lovers. If you can be satisfied with just gazing at scads of books piled to the ceiling and imagining their scent, this is the movie for you.

The Mothman Prophecies

.
Having company on All Hallow's Eve? Consider treating your guests to a candlelight dinner with 'disc number two' of the soundtrack to the Mothman Prophecies serenading them in the background.
.
Yes, it should keep them from coming to dinner too often. However, it is rather perfect. Listen to the tracks here: http://www.amazon.com/Mothman-Prophecies-Various-Artists/dp/B0018QXJHQ/ref=sr_1_1_digr?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1285077783&sr=8-1
.
Do not forget to pass by Pottery Barn and peruse their autumnal offerings. Usually something delightfully creepy and unusual can be found there: http://www.potterybarn.com/shop/accessories-decor/halloween-decor/ . The metal vampire dentures which I will have on exhibit came from Pottery Barn.

Steve's Weird House

Located in scenic Seattle, Washington, Steve's Weird house is part circus museum, part curiosity storage bin, and certainly all 'Addams family' private home. The Munsters had nothing on Steve.
.
As the autumn days grow darker ever earlier and the chill wind blows in from the north, curl up in a comfy favorite chair with a cup of piping hot aromatic herbal tea and visit Steve here: http://www.bohonus.com/galleries/personal-projects/steves-weird-house/ .
.
Scroll down past the descriptions of all the rooms that you can visit and settle in to take your 'Virtual Room Panoramic Tour' . Each room can be zoomed and each can be rotated 360 degrees. Be sure to 'lay flat on your back' in each over loaded room to look at each ceiling.

.
All of the dolls shown in "Bebe" were hand sculpted by A.D. Puchalski or by myself. Fine art photographer Richard Gardner has created more than one exhibition centered around the dolls. Find Richard here: http://www.richardgardnerphotography.com . Yes, I did dress all the dolls. Yes, Richard did pull all the clothes off.
.
Azul who is on the cover is also the subject of another beautiful photography book by Washington D.C. photographer Miss Ally. Azul was sculpted from Japanese stone clay by me.

Real Man

It takes a real man to hold a pink poodle.
