Happy Holi-daze!
2012’s rolling to an end pretty darn quickly, and we’re still in the midst of the holiday season – for all of my Southern Baptist upbringing, I may have to make some latkes to continue my deep appreciation of the culinary traditions of Hanukkah. A pretty large project is currently on my cutting table, one…

A second Eek!
Between Thanksgiving and the creeping crud going through my house, I’ve been simultaneously busy and sick. Fortunately, the holidays do mean a small break from the hectic schedule of dance classes, and while I’m somewhat dreading the scope of the next commissioned project, I’m taking a bit of time to work on my costuming for…

Eek!
I promise I haven’t forgotten – I’ve been focusing on what seems to have been a pretty cursed project, and then working my brain through the other one that’s been similarly challenging. Hopefully, I’ll be back to regular updates next week or so, in the next minor interim before a large-scope project. I’m sorry –…

WiR – 10/22 – 10/28
Wow, y’all. It’s my favorite weekend of the year. Much fun was had, with most of the dance family performing one way or another, whether it was tribal at Happy Hollerween, tribal with fire at Philoberfest in Market Square, or burlesque with Salome at their Boolesque show. A sextuple paws up rating to Ms. Nipsy…

WiR – 10/14 to 10/21, and announcement
Well, y’all… it must be official. I’ve ordered business cards and clothing labels for the CynDiscretion Labs, and will be putting together a price list for the overskirts maybe later today. For right now, the Labs will continue to have their own page off this one, but I’m anticipating registering the domain here shortly. I’m…

Creative Train – Custom Work Requests
A slight change of pace for this week’s update, as I’m off my standard schedule, due to a side trip this weekend. Anyway, today’s topic is something that I’m currently slogging through and essentially having to put my psychic hat on to figure out what a client actually wants, and so I figured I might…

And now for something completely different….
As my WiRs are pretty standard, this one involved a bit of less structured weekend time for some decompression. Translate to: I slept the vast majority of the first 12 hours of the day. With my main costuming client out of town, and no supplies on hand to continue working on that project, I’ve pretty…

WiR 9/23 – 9/30
Another crazy week – essentially the same dance schedule of M, T, R, Sat., although it’s a long Tuesday this week with the Burlesque Academy. I’m enjoying the tribal improv exploration tons and bunches, and other choreographies continue to proceed. There’ve been some shifts in the studio scheduling, so we’ll see how that all settles…

Another week down…
So, while I like doing the WiRs, unfortunately, they can be a bit repetitive, which is not good for you, and not particularly interesting to write. Nonetheless, highlights from this week involve a bit more on the sewing front, and the installation of the dance floor in my second home. Sewing projects include a few…

WiR – 9/10 to 9/15
Dance classes were essentially the same this week as last, although with the addition of tribal classes with Soubhi (more on that later) and Burlesque Academy not happening this past week, but will be happening this coming week, with its alternating week schedule. Monday night – The last class for this session of the schedule…
