Monroe

Monroe is an ab fab Monster High 'Spectra' custom by Ozian Queen Xen.  Monroe will not be coming to America.   Not unless famous Ozian Queens can be bribed.

Monroe's eyes are hand done 'pinks', her dress has a beautiful butterfly bodice.  Monroe's shoes, which you cannot see, rival Cinderella's.
See an example of Xen's work on exhibit this December at Harborfields.

Xen's Ghoulia


You are looking at Roisin, who is a Dollmore Lusion.  Roisin is holding a "Ghoulia" Monster High custom.  Xen is the Ozian Queen who has performed magic on the Lusion and on the little Monster High.   A legendary Queen amongst Queens, Xen's work is epic due to her consummate skill.  She combines an innate keen eye, glorious great good humor, superior agile adeptness with the camera and then matches them up to pretty paint brush and slippery sewing needle.

Actually, I made all of that up.  We are sure that Xen just uses magic.

What I wanted to tell you is this:  watch for the Ghoulia during the holiday season at Harborfields.  This is the  the first time that Xen's work is on exhibit in the United States.  Xen and I are working very hard at getting the little Ghoulia to click her red heels and appear in Little Cow Harbor.  We have not told Weeener she is coming from Oz yet; her new friend will be a Christmas surprise.
A Monster High Ghoulia normally looks like this: http://www.monsterhigh.com/bios/ghoulia

A Simply Divine Holiday Season

I have been invited by the Harborfields community to do a two month public 'holiday treat'.   Certainly the holidays in the fairyland in Little Cow Harbor are not like the holidays of anywhere else.  Festivities will commence on November 3rd and run until New Years of 2012.  I am planning to change the exhibit promptly after Thanksgiving, so you will have to go at least twice to see the show in its entirety.

Chloe will start November off and Divine will take over until the close.  Weeener will be around for the show's entirety.  I have promised her darling Herber as a companion and one of Daisy's fabulous fire ponies, so I have no fears over her being too lonely.  Besides, she is an excellent reader thanks to Miro and can keep herself very busy with a stack of  good books.

The show is available for viewing any time the library and its attendant art gallery is open.
 Find the hours of operation as well as directions to Harborfields here:  http://harborfieldslibrary.org/main.html

May your holidays this year be Simply Divine.
Speaking of which, all things Simply Divine can be found here:  http://simplydivine99.blogspot.com
Believe me, that is where I have been hiding alot of things.

Once Upon a Time

Premiered this evening.  Join me on Sunday nights this fall; I will continue to watch it for its first season.





The Devils

In 1955, this French film was a very big deal. In 2011, it is considered a 'suspense classic'. An unpredictabe murder mystery which took theater goers by storm. Long before CSI and "The Sixth Sense" there was "The Devils". Enjoy it if you have never seen it.

When you find yourself getting bored, look at the scenery. There is enough there to keep you busy. Stare at the wallpaper, watch until the 'end'; remind yourself that this is 2011 and films are much more fast-paced.

Once you have seen it, remember: Don't reveal the ending !

The film is based on this book : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronia_the_Robber%27s_Daughter

Most Norwegian fairy tales end with the phrase, "They lived well and happily together a long long time, and if they're not dead, why, they're alive still."
