So I was talking to some people over dinner last night about eighties fantasy movies and we realized that David Bowie in The Labyrinth was a sexual awakening for many women of our age. It got me thinking about those tight grey trousers and their strange and magical allure and I was inspired to write a poem. I thought I would share it with you.
Bowie.
Goblins and goblets,
and dove grey sheaths;
so suggestive.
shadows and light;
dance magic dance
for my teenage delight.
So there you go, I hope you enjoyed that. Seriously - this is turning into a one way blog - are you ever joining me in the 21st Century and online.
I miss you.

the dummy
Hey C-Payne,
The bodyform is made and I've put together a wee video of how Sandy and I made it in case you want one. It's not that hard, but it takes ages so you need a free weekend to finish it. Also, be prepared to feel a bit claustrophobic and pukey when you are encased in a tight wrapping of tape, it's hot and not very comfortable.
Many kisses and squeezes.

projects
kitty,
How is Sydney? I have not heard from you, I assume you are in sex haze and cannot get to the phone/computer. I understand.
I thought though that I would update you on life in London and some crafty projects I have lined up for the weekend.
We went to Latitude festival over the weekend, it was fabulous. I didn't shower for 4 days and was mud splattered and sore legged from so much dancing. We saw Grace Jones, Nick Cave and Ladyhawke and many, many more mind-blowing performances. You would have loved it.
Sandy got me a sewing machine (isn't he just the best?!) so I am invigorated to get back on the craft train. This weekend I am going to make a dressmakers dummy with duct/packing tape (have a look at the threadbanger channel on youtube.com, they have video tutorials) so I can start making lots of lovely dresses.
Also, I am thinking jewelry, I have some ideas about wooden necklaces that kind of like breastplates - hard to explain but I will post some pics when I'm done.
I miss you - write soon.
