We've had a lot of scary and unexpected medical expenses recently, so I am having Night Owl/Early Bird Sale: 3 AM today (3-31-14) through the stroke of midnight, 50% off all Nola Jewels (my handmade jewelry) and paintings on canvas. The jewelry ships free worldwide with purchase of any other item in shop.

I listed a bunch of new artwork on PZBART last night, including this piece since folks seemed to like my other black cat:

"Black Cat 2," acrylic on canvas, 8" x 10", $45

Decided that on January 1, 2014, I'm going to raise the prices on my original artwork and art commissions pretty substantially. If you've had your eye on a PZBART piece, the next month and a half would be a good time to get it.

The building of NolaLooks, my vintage fashion and handmade jewelry shop, continues apace. Over the past few weeks, when I'm not making jewelry or assisting Grey in the photography of my items, I've been studying search engine optimization and advertising on social media, and, just incidentally, brushing up on my fashion knowledge. I feel I'm using some skills I developed over 44 years of doing drag that would otherwise go to waste now, but I was never fashion-forward enough to, say, know a baguette from a clutch or spot that ILGWU label that's one of the tells of a true vintage item, so I'm learning. I also find that I enjoy clothes shopping a hell of a lot more when I don't actually have to try on or wear any of the clothes ... and anyway, vintage shopping has a lot more in common with treasure hunting than with ordinary mall/store shopping.

I'm still doing art, too, but mostly just for enjoyment -- I mean, I still sell it online and take commissions, but I'm neither productive nor commercially appealing enough to make any kind of living at it. My goal is to finance the art-making with the vintage and jewelry, so if you're interested in one-of-a-kind handmade jewelry and vintage fashion with an accent on plus sizes or know someone who is, please visit or pass the word along.

Cat emergency: Something has gone terribly wrong with our Deano's right front leg, either a tumor or a freak break, and it will probably have to be amputated. The vet is working with us, but it's still going to be pricey, so I'm running a coupon special in both my shops. Now through Sunday, enter coupon code DEANO at checkout for 20% off any item from NolaLooks (handmade jewelry and vintage fashion) or PZBART (original artwork and signed prints) .

Elbow Woes

I'm having a bout of tendinitis in my right elbow, so naturally I'm feeling more inspired to work with my hands than I have in weeks. An elastic brace and liberal applications of Tiger Balm help. Stayed up all night working on several projects, then went out vintage-hunting. No dresses today, but some cute shoes and handbags I hope to list later.

Sadly, taking the time and mental energy to blog feels like a luxury of the past these days. I don't miss the sound of my own (virtual) voice, but I miss the connections made. I spend most of my time trying to figure out a way to turn a buck, which as many of you probably know isn't easy for a freelancer in this economy. Sometimes I feel like just lying on the floor, beating my fists and kicking my feet, and bawling for a year or so, but most of the time I persevere. I've added quite a few things to my shop, and am trying to branch out into vintage clothing sales, since I have some good contacts for nice old clothes and there's a part of me that will never stop noticing cute dresses even though I've no desire to wear them anymore. The ones I've listed so far are around US sizes 6-8, but if there's interest, I will try to score some other sizes.
