I noticed today that some people in other jourals seem to think all we are about now is Girls in Corsets and have forgotten our musicial roots! I can’t believe it? Corsets??? ( personally I think they are just jealous they have no endorsement deals. Hmmph )Well, in this post Corsets will not even be mentioned, it is ALL going to be about music and my diet and workout program. No Corsets!!!! We are serious artists here!

Music. Yes. I picked up a show with Folk UnderGround at a small pub in Stillwater. If you are in the area this Saturday night and want to come by for a pint, drop me a note and I will get details. Also all next week at the Half Time Rec , Wednesday thru Saturday, with Malena on Saturday the 6th. ( Since this post is NOT about Corsets, I will not tell you what she will be wearing. Not me. )

She comes out on Saturday and we are spending a week practicing and doing the last little bits of her on the cd, and maybe starting my fiddle parts, hurrah!

I hired a Personal Trainer today, which in my part of the country is not as Ritzy as it sounds, and he will be helping me with this Get Into You Know What by Halloween. Today I did my walks and listened to Malena sing in my headphones.

Which is a nice way to work out. Indeed.

Love , Music and …….
Lorraine

Here is a picture of the famous skirt Mistress Mousey made. It looks great with the AE corset! Lorraine and I will be wearing ours for Halloween!

Malena’s Music Madness

Lorraine and I are an odd mixture of music, magic, and fashion. I’m amazed at how she handles everything in her life with such precision. I on the other hand do everything at once. Like now for instance…..

I’m busy modeling corsets, learning songs, making potions and doing readings. Both Lorraine and I have two speeds, 180 mph and 0. I am rarely at 0 mph, unless I am at her house eating sorrel and sour cherries from the garden. Then, I’m a slug. When I’m home, I’m busy busy. Although I’m preoccupied with other things, I still can’t get this CD out of my head. I can’t wait until it’s done. We are thinking mid October now, BTW. You see, Lorraine can fiddle better than a devil in Georgia and we MUST be graced with some of her fire. I did my singin’ bits while I was there two weeks ago. Being the best friend that she is, she helped me before she did her own bits.. She’s like that you know. Ohhh, and that brings me to another one of Fabulous Lorraine’s ideas….two violins.

Yes, two. It goes like this:

I play 3 notes on one string and Lorraine does the rest. Just kidding. I’m actually getting a little better with the violin. It’s always been my favorite instrument starting in 4th grade.

I’ve never played anything other than classical, so I can’t wait to learn a few things from the fiddling Miss Fabulous….irish trads, gypsy music, etc. Hey, I could dress up as Esmerelda! There I go again mixing fashion and magic and music. That’s the thing I like most about our fans. All we have to do is be ourselves and they love it. Thank you! We are very very very lucky…oh and thanks for being so patient with the CD release. We’re even MORE excited that you are!

Not only can I now post a picture on the Blog, I am so good I can do it TWICE without even TRYING!!!!

Love and Fairy Skirts,

Lorraine

Miss Mousie is just about ready to put the Fairy Skirts up on Ebay…..Here is a LINK. Darn. No link. Where did that nice little button go???? Well, here it is in non-link form http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=bafog1

She says they will be up today, and they are truly lovely….Wait, ah-ha! An Add picture button!!! We shall see…..

I am bound and determined, as it were, to be thin and fit enough by Halloween to wear my Fairy Skirt with a corset and feel really lovely in it! Words of encouragement are welcome. In fact I am Right Now going off for my daily walk and work in the garden. ( The weeds have done terrible things to it while I have been working and recording, who knew???? )

Here’s the Plan….Eat right. Workout . And keep a picture of Malena in a corset in every room with food. Wish me luck…..

Yes, Alter Ego has done it again. Finally every goth girl in America can own the “13 Nights of Fright” Corset. So, get sexy girls and send us the pics of you sasha-ing around your home town. Cinch em’ up boys……..

Here’s the angel tree at our favorite country graveyard….

I am listening to a cd with a huge bunch of MP3’s that Malena’s husband , Mr Miles Teves, whom she refers to as Mr Gorgeous , made for me, full of wonderful, varied and cool bits of music, been loving it all the day now, and just as I decided that I had to come by and write some Blog, Rocket Man , as done by William Shatner started playing.

This raises a lot of nagging questions….Both about why I am still here writing and listening to it and just what he was thinking about……

Finally ,the part of the world that I live in is NOT roasting like some sort of super oven. I feared greatly for life and limb in the garden and tried to water, but everything was getting a little sad and brown looking, but we did get a front and some rain and now all is forgiven. Sharon the Hot Birdchick, ( whom I would put a link to except after our last link expierence I am not trying THAT again for a while, ) is going to come and start stealing green tomotos by the bushel, the girl is crazed for them, fried green tomatoes.

I loved the picture Malena posted of her and I at CONvergence! Yes, she is sitting on the floor in front of me, but what you can’t really tell is that we were in a Space Chair AND in some sort of Space Lounge Bubble. They had little Star Pillows in there and the 8 year old who was in there must have thought he hit the grownup jackpot when we started throwing them around at anyone and everyone. I am loving Cons and can’t wait until next years Baltic Con where we are playing ( the con chair , Nora, just wrote me and said we were a bad influence saying she kept reading our Blog and was now buying Alter Ego Corsets on Ebay, this bodes well for the Con I say ! )

I wish that we could post some MP3’s of the cd, but it just isn’t ready enough yet, all we have are Really rough dumps and it would be hard to get a picture of what they are going to sound like. But just as soon as ever can be, we will get something up. I am going back in the studio soon to do my bits and them we mix, and as soon as it is mastered, you will all hear it first here, promise.

Have decided to wear the wonderful skirt from Miss Mousey with a black corset and fishnets on Halloween this year. I will be out in LA with Malena and have it all planned out. You will also be hearing a lot about my diet and workout program these next few months in order to make this vision a good one, hee-hee…..

Love and Space Tents and Fishnets,
Lorraine

We give CONvergence a big thumbs up…especially the Space Lounge!
