Happy New Year

"Never the old year passes
Never the New Year begins
When someone thinks of someone
Good times, great times
Old friends........."

Happy 2009 everyone! Think pink!










May peace, joy, and prosperity be yours throughout this coming new year.

Prince Poppycock

As we prepare for our upcoming parties, it is important to celebrate them in style. Whether it is the Masque Ball you are attending, an affair at the French Manoir, or Orchid's wedding on the Gold Coast remember that we like this randy dandy very much: http://www.youtube.com/user/JohnQuale . Find a short article on this beguiling fellow here: http://coilhouse.net/2008/01/18/the-dirty-rococo-of-prince-poppycock/
.
If you find you like him, too, and you just can't get enough ostentatious silliness in your life then feel free to crash our perpetual parties. Visit: http://catcara.livejournal.com/ to hear us chat about what pretty panniers to wear and what pouffy poodles to drag along.

.

Even Orchid doesn't know that I plan to bring my pink poodle to her wedding. Want to bring yours?

Caesar

When it came time for the nostalgic super charged race car to be painted, I had one word: Ceasar. "Get Ceasar to do it," I said.
.
Ceasar is my favorite air brush artist. I fell in love the instant I saw an image which too strongly resembled Orchid on the mammoth hood of a tractor trailer. "Who did that?" I wailed in awe. "Who around here can fucking paint like that?"
.
"Ceasar." My husband told me. "Only Ceasar."
.
Watch Ceasar and his co-workers in action here: http://video.yahoo.com/watch/2292265 . When you lust for your ride to be painted, contact them here: http://www.cycledelics.com/ .

.

The image shown here is a retro French postcard; Ceasar Santos could do that in a heartbeat.

Sunset in the Keys

Last year at this time, this was our view.

Victorian Street Scene

Think of this as a Christmas gift to all of you from one of my friends on the journal.
.
Step back in time to Victorian London and enjoy watching the bird hats, horsehair skirts, and clip-clopping horses in action.

Cramp Us

This is a joke. I wanted to tell you, "Don't Krampus style" . Meaning: we like what we do. An aside to all our fans: I'm glad you do, too.

.

I've been working on getting Doug ready for the Masque Ball; he still needs horns.

.

I'm sorry, this is a doll world joke, but everyone always asks me what I'm working on. Follow the fun a little bit closer by listening in at the livejournal: http://catcara.livejournal.com/ .

.

When you've found another graphic that looks like this one, you've found the recent additions to my stash of music that you can listen to.

.

Krampus is Santa's helper. I've been telling you to be very good, haven't I? See more vintage European Krampus postcards set to music here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_uUr7r1iyY

Bird Hat

We were discussing hats. Good hats, bad hats, bird hats.
.
We agreed that this is a very good bird hat.
