Oh my. I am trying to get all these costumes ready before I retire for rest. I have finished the back ground, costume and wig for Poison Ivy, I have done one leg of the Black Widow. I really don’t have to decorate the new piece I bought for Snow Queen if I don’t have time. I am wondering in the last brief hours before I head to rehearsal if I might find a song for the Snow White number which I decided to call ” How about them apples”. That number and Little Red Ridinghood are both costumed already with the exception of the wolf/grandma’s cap and nose, and the dwarves shoes.

I am hoping that I can find a bit of time to make a back drop for Snow Queen before Sunday night. It will just be a simple white netting with glitter snow flakes . I also have to lug all the costumes and props to the venue through the peak of the parade.

On top of all the stuff still to make before Sunday night, I have to make fly wings for Craig. It is his birthday too. His birthday wish is to be given to Amrita to be used for Shibari.

I just tried on the Poison Ivy costume for the first time. Damn it was hot. I am debating on making a skirt to go with it too. I can’t find the gloves I was going to use for Poison Ivy. I do still have to dye a rope green and put leaves on it for that number.

Very early this morning Craig mixed and burned the cd for my numbers.

I can’t decide if I will do “T&A: Talent and Ambition”. I am also debating on “Diamonds”, “Fever”, a solo version of “Junko the Clown”. I am not in the mood lately for “Babaloo”. I think it would be wise to do “Puss and Boots”. It is a real crowd pleaser so we use it for the finale when it is in the line-up.

I am happy to hear that an aquaintance I know through my XBF and am quite fond of will be trying to go to the show in spite of her recent chemo. Many people survive cancer and hopefully she will be one of them.

I know that several weeks ago they had already started pre-selling the tickets for Sunday, and while in Pensacola a few people told me that they intended to be here for it.

I am just really excited. Especially since this is close to what I was working on with a local club. I already intended to book Lil Beaux Peepshow, and I had another Mistress I was talking to for the fetish ball I was working on. Well, the club owner kept procrastinating so I didn’t have the budget for the Mistress I wanted for that event. I hadn’t yet joined Lil Beaux Peepshow at that point, nor had I met Amrita back then.

When Amrita and I met I still wasn’t with the show yet, and we talked about her staying with me for Mardi Gras. At that point I admired her work I had seen pictures of, but when i realized my birthday, the show, and her visit all coincided, things just seemed to fall into place. It wasn’t my original grand plan, but I am very happy with how things have turned out. Maybe after this show/birthday party/fetish event the club owner will see things more clearly and realize I am not one of the notorious New Orleans flakes he is used to.

All this makes me not only want to get back to Pensacola, it makes me hungry for September to arrive so I can head back to do the Annual Fetish Ball. Hell, why am I thinking about that when I have the fortunate honor of speaking at DomCon, April in LA, and am going to Dressed to Thrill in Vegas in May. I know why…because every year the Dare Ware Annual Fetish Ball is where my close friends and fellow perverts I have known since high school will congregate in fine fetish attire not ever seen in New Orleans.

That is one thing about this town…people are too lazy to dress in their gear unless they are gay. My theory is a lot of people that go out down here are the type that don’t know when they will leave the bar they are in. Some of these people will stay out 3 days or longer since the bars don’t close.
