Smokin'

Nasty Canasta emerges from stageside in an atmospheric haze of smoke, and eases into a series of classic and lovely noir poses. The air is briefly filled with notes of speakeasy, moxie, and risk.

The occasion is a show celebrating the publication of Jonny Porkpie's new detective novel, The Corpse Wore Pasties (as I post this photo I'm about halfway through the book, and I'm happy to report that it's really good).

In the meta-frame of Pinchbottom Burlesque's Lurid Pulp show tonight, author Porkpie has just been dispatched in a flurry of confusion. Nasty steps in to play his role as host of the proceedings, and she and Jonny's ghost (furry boa halo, pasties) work together to solve the crime and keep the audience guessing.

Austin by Firelight

Last winter I went down to Texas to visit my friend Jen, who has just put out a new record. While I'm there, Spicewood Farms, the stable where Jen keeps her horse, has a holiday party, and we drink and talk and sing and burn things until late.

Shooting by firelight is a tricky business; there's more grain than image to work with. This one is processed heavily, to make it look like the memories.

Puppy Love

My nephew Rohan has been back in Australia these past, what, five weeks or so, and I'm happy to run across pictures of him floating around on the computer. Especially given the nearing Thanksgiving holiday, it's good to play with family images. This season we've got wings in Sydney, in Maine, and somewhere in continental Europe (Germany?), while I hold down the fort in New York.

Rohan was wearing his doggie costume this afternoon - poke around a bit and you'll find him kitted out as a a kangaroo as well - and when I asked if he'd like to pose for some shots, he was eager to oblige. He loves this game, and he does the Happy face and the Wow face and the Angry face on demand. And then trots over to look at the pictures in the back of the camera, to see how he's done.

I Knew Him, Horatio

Après Halloween decor. On the way to Watty and Meg for lunch with my parents, I almost walk past this Kane Street fence with its row of impaled carved baby pumpkins. My folks notice it, and we take a brief pause for commemorations.

A Murderess Gaze

The conceit at Pinchbottom Burlesque's Lurid Pulp show, which celebrates the publication of company co-producer Jonny Porkpie's new whodunit, The Corpse Wore Pasties, is that the author is offed early in the proceedings, and we don't miss him.

Wait. That's not what I mean. I mean, in order to figure out who did the dastardly deed, Nasty Canasta steps in as emergency backup host and lets the show proceed, the better to catch the killer in a moment of distraction. Porkpie, obligingly returned from the dead in a ghostly role, hovers about the action, and the five prime suspects perform their five superb acts.

It's pretty much an all-star night tonight. Jo Boobs, pictured here as a vision in glitter and red, is a femme fatale if ever we've seen one. She might have done it, or she might be completely innocent on this score, but no one is telling.

If she did, I'm sure he was asking for it. Enlarge
