Faerieworlds Winter Celebration 1/30/10
puck, patrick & i drove a few hours south to eugene for the faerieworlds winter celebration. wine and sugar were our first tasks. glitter rainbow sparklies in our hair was next up. wandering around the vending tables & reconnecting with the crew. we met up with layla & jeffe and went back to their place to get ready for the bad faeries ball that night. as puck napped, i brought out my curling iron content to do my usual ringlets. layla, a hair magician, would have none of that.
she sat me in a chair, parted my hair, put braids in like a runway, teased my hair so poofy that it was like a flying saucer or my own cabaret hat. some sculpting glue and poof! i had bangs! layla rocked my follicles! she borrowed a skirt of mine. patrick attached his unicorn headpiece and off we went to the ball.
the beginning of the night was just photo craziness… people i haven’t seen in years. i ran away into the crowd entranced by all i saw. such elaborate costumes, such happy people. performances, a ritual… backstage i slipped into zoe jakes’ dressing room….. hugs and concern over a kink in her back. as we talked she leaned against a doorknob until a proper masseuse showed up. in the wings, i watched her dance. such beauty, such presence. my camera loves her. we have so much unspoken synergy…. she is my favorite dancer.
as the night grew longer, most people’s sobriety left them… and guys with sloshing drinks approached me, forcing me back into the crowd.
the next morning i made banana chocolate pancakes for the house. i forgot confetti sprinkles but they were tasty. after pancakes i had a date with the knots in my hair. i was in the bathroom with this pumpkin elixer and a comb muttering faerie curses as quietly as possible. i could hear all the chatting and everyone getting along so well… “and the pixie circle grows” i heard someone say…. made me smile…
