My winner(2nd place) in the Toys in Babeland pumpkin carving contest!

More views here(and past year’s sexy punkins)!

I may have had a rather unfortunate summer, but I certainly have an amazing fortune in my friends!

Cody, kickass organatrix and grand friend that she is, decided to throw a benefit party for me and proceeded to do so, in truly glorious Badbad Faerie style! Jeff generously donated the use of the Little Red Day Spa and my fabulous posse(Yay Cody! Rita! Ben! Anna! Blackbird! Drew! Juliet! Cheri! Sam! David! Julia!) rallied their considerably delicious forces and talents and thus, the Infinite Feast was born!

It was an absolutely sumptuous, sexy soiree, with delicious munchies, hot tubbin’, dancing(thanks Michael Holden for the awesome tunes!),

yum

massage(yay Candace!), tarot(the mysterious Madam Blackbird), poetry(call and response between David Jones and I), luscious desserts, awesome art and of course the Bad bad Faeries and their wicked, fruity shenanigans!

Badbad Faeries!

It was so much fun! Thanks so so much Coders and all of you who helped organize it, baked for it, made gorgeous signage, worked it, donated awesome art(yay David, Juliet and Liz!) and services(props to Cody, Danni, Sharon, Jason and BB!) to the auction and came and danced and soaked and cuddled and bought art and things…

My Buddha holds a fat envelope full of lovely green bills that will help me pay off a chunk of my debt, buy my ever-growing kiddo clothes for the fall and get my unhappy tooth to the dentist.. Though one of the very first things I’m going to do is GO BUY A NICE BIG CANVAS!!! Just to prove to myself that I don’t have to give up, even if I no longer have those lovely big walls I was so looking forward to painting pictures for.

But regardless of the money, the gift of my friends and community is a rich one. It is a boon and a bounty I’ll not soon forget.

Love.

The bellyflower opens the portal to a whole new Universe..

Painted the gorgeous(and soon to birth a baby girl) KC at the Little Red Studio Gold Show on friday. Felt good to get my paint on after a long and annoying hiatus.

Yay Universe Flower!

More KC belly pics here.

Just noticed a friend has a whole gallery of pics from a bodypainting performance I did with Sophia at SEAF several years ago.

Yay, fame!

..On Matt Freedman’s photoblog.

So, I HAD planned to do three silk/lace mache dresses on Rita for SEAF, but some over zealous volunteer ‘cleaned up’ and apparently threw away our bag of silk and lace pieces that we’d cut up for the dress-making(along with my scissors and pasties)! Grack!

The only fabric and paint dress I ended up making was this sparkly little silver number:

The rest of the performances I had to resort to paint only. Sigh, all those lovely little lacey, silky scraps trashed! Mrrrggghhhh.

Oh wells-more pics here.

Anna won my heart with her awesome multiple hair twists. I decided to meet their complexity and elegance with geometric shapes and black lace…

More Anna twisty hotness here!

This one was opening night, at the Artist’s Gala:

More swirly girl here.

I couldn’t resist bloo’s amazing hair, I just had to paint her an outfit to match..

So gorgeous! More bloo here.

I’m so not feeling orderly tonight, so don’t expect these to be in order of appearance-or any other particular order.

But OMG! SEAF was fun this year-I did SIX bodypaintings! Whoohoo!

So behold:

Rita on FIRE!!!

So pretty, even if we did take the pictures in the back room, fending off piles of everyone’s gear.

What a blast!

More Rita on fire here.
