Sexy Summer Man Fragrance

^v^ ART/FASHION/MAGIC <3


 



Sexy Summer Man fragrance for men has gotten amazing response by all the guys! It’s made from the leaves of Tomato plants and smells like a wonderful citrusy dark green summer. Many claim that it has helped their love life as well!

Here’s what my band mate Skippy looks like wearing Sexy Summer Man, isn’t he dreamy? Get some for yourself and watch the ladies flock, or get some this summer for your man and smell the green sparks fly.



Check this out this magic love potion along with original illustrations, prints, dolls of all kinds, and much much more on my etsy site: DameDarcy.etsy.com

Love, Dame Darcy

Wanted: Portland Based Assistant!

Hey! Learn how to Do It Yourself book & promote art/music shows, self publish, website and dolls while helping a spooky/kooky local artist.

 

I’m based in Portland Oregon, so if you are too, thats ideal, but near by is do-able too.
Basically someone who I can trust and familiar with Etsy (http://www.damedarcy.etsy.com), also, some mailing, light tech and crafting. Light tech meaning, scanning, some photoshop (not crazy just adjusting things) and general computer questions that arise.

Crafting meaning I put together dolls and self published books and sometimes need help. Some pay possible, but also can help with college credit and will definately give you any gifts and referrals you want/need. I am also a psychic advisor and can help you with that if you want. Home cookin’ and lots of love and thanks to you included.

If you have a friend who you think can do some of these things, like the tech but not the crafts or vice versa please tell them as well because these catigories can be split up among different people.

Thanks so much, and lots of love...

Ditto....


EVENTS COORDINATOR

Last year in NYC, I did a Cabaret at the Slipper Room called Naughty Nautical Night (NNN) We are beginning to coordinate NNN PDX @ the FEZ in downtown PDX as well as a series of daytime weekend tea parties. Definitely NNN and maybe the tea parties I could possibly pay, but it depends on self motivation and how many people show up at the events. The NNN involves; an MC, a DJ, Nautical themed dancing girls and costumes, musical comedy, variety acts, burlesque, circus...stage hands, PR (real and virtual promotions) etc.

Job Description: deciding on themes, setting up dates for shows (bookings), talent coordination ie calling cast and crew, PR, providing PR to crew and cast to help ie delegating promotion. Again, there can be $ in this for you, it depends how well you do this job. For tea parties, same as above, but way less hectic.

CARPENTER

I have a 1902 craftsman house I live in, a door in the house won’t shut, I need it fixed so the door can latch. That is my practical request, also I need help building bookshelves. My whimsical request is this...I have a crawl space that I want to put musical equipment in, but I want it to double function as a doll house for my doll, Isabelle. If you can do the door, but not the doll house, that’s ok, but the door is a necessity and emergency right now.

Thank You!

Love,
Dame Darcy

Good Times at DC Exhibit, Upcoming Event Feb 1st at The Fez in Portland and more!

Hey! The show at The Civilian Art Projects went smashingly well, Carol’s work was beautiful and I loved all the DC characters that showed up.We had a super fun party at her restaurant afterwards, and a lot of my pieces sold. I loved DC and I stared at my Obama inauguration metrocard for the longest time, because it gives me hope and made me so happy to visit a giant pentagram with the black magic of ages being cleansed by the new awesome way that is coming for us all. The beautiful intricate doll castles and roman colosseum, and all the erodite population particularly how the guys there dress like business vampires and are from everywhere. DC has it’s secrets, everyone can tell, but Portland has it’s faeiry secrets, hiding in little hollows and coves just on the other side of the mundane everyday world.


The fertile overabundance greenery taking over all other life forms and the constant rich smell of wet, dark, earth, it makes me feel like I’m left out of the greatest party ever and I really want to go. I will miss the fancy events in DC, here in Portland, and who will go to the faeiry inauguration with me?


The show is still up in DC if anyone nearby wants to check it out. I am honored to have been invited by Carol and Jayme , thanks ladies!

THE UNDERSCORE ORKESTRA

and CRITICAL THEATRE
http://www.myspace.com/criticaltheatre


DAME DARCY

(from Wikipedia.com)
"In 1989, Darcy won a scholarship to the San Francisco Art Institute,
where she majored in film and animation, studying with, among others,
George Kuchar and Kathy Acker. During this time, Darcy began
self-publishing Meat Cake. While in San Francisco, Darcy formed her
first band, Caroliner Rainbow, and produced her first independent solo
music releases.

In 1992 Dame Darcy moved to New York City, where she worked as
a freelance illustrator and cartoonist. In 2001, she moved to Los
Angeles.

She has exhibited her fine art in both solo and group shows, in the
U.S., Austria, and Tokyo.

Dame Darcy is now bi-coastal, calling both New York and Los Angeles
home. (In fact, she has just moved to Portland. - ed.)

Darcy has provided illustrations for writers Alan Moore, Poppy Z.
Brite, Trina Robbins; and fashion designers Anna Sui, Jared Gold, CWC,
and Coi Girl Magic, among others.

She is also a musician and performer of unique and experimental
combinations of bluegrass music, Americana, classic Expressionism and
transgressive aesthetics. Her collaborations with Caroliner Rainbow,
Lisa Crystal Carver’s Suckdog, Rock Rock Chicken Pox and heavy metal
author Ian Christe in Grouse Mountain Skyride have inspired members of
the avant-garde such as Thurston Moore. Darcy sings, and plays banjo,
electric bass, and singing saw."


THE STOLEN SWEETS
The Stolen Sweets formed in 2004 with the intention of reviving
the songs of 1930s sister act, The Boswell Sisters. Comprised of
vocalists Jen Bernard, Lara Michell and Erin Sutherland, guitarists
Pete Krebsand, David Langenes (both of whom sing) and double bass
player Keith Brush, The Sweets’ repertoire has expanded to include
material from the1920s -1940s. Their arrangements are still inspired
by the Boswells’ tight 3-part harmonies, frequent tempo changes and
"knowing shrugs and raised eyebrows," as noted by the Oregonian’s A&E.
Unlike the original Boswell arrangements that featured piano,
clarinet,and horns, the Sweets incorporate gypsy jazz
accompaniment,reminiscent of Django Reinhardt.
The Sweets stay busy playing club gigs, private events and
festivals all over the northwest and beyond. They strive to keep these
vintage tunes alive, transporting a wide array of listeners to the
early days of jazz.


THE UNDERSCORE ORKESTRA
The Underscore Orkestra is a Portland OR based band, playing a blend
of Balkan, Klezmer, Gypsy Jazz and Swing, with a repertoire consisting
ofboth original and traditional material from fast bulgars and
melodious waltzes to odd meters and swinging rhythms. Our
instrumentation includes violin, accordion, guitar, banjo, clarinet,
horns, flute,harmonica, bass, vocals and percussion. Each of the
members comes from various backgrounds and musical disciplines from as
far away as Russiaand as close as our own North West. The Underscore
Orkestra has been performing for the past 3 + years, touring all around
the western U.S.,Mexico and Guatemala and has been seen from intimate
coffee shop setting all the way to huge outdoor festivals.

CRITICAL THEATER
Started in February 2000 as vehicle for music, performance and
neoteric ritual. by Maxwell Benedetti. A few rotating members over the
years. We strive to be music/art/ritual as life, we strive to put
spirit in thisprimal music we make and we hope that it may serve in
the helps of;connection, meditation, dance, exorcisms, ritual, healing, catharsis, catalyst
and enjoyment. We strive to experiment and explore many types of
instruments and equipment. We strive to give reverence to a pantheon of
different musical Gods who haunt the primitive world, the suburbs, the
ghettos and (and yet!) untouched forests. We strive to explore the
music of inner/outer space. We strive to use music to help access,
acknowledgeand identify hidden "parts" of the subconscious and giving
them voicesand expression, for these "parts" are our insane inner
children. We strive to be urban shamen, post apocalyptic witches...etc.
You get the idea?

*And More Portland Shenenigans*
OK, so I’m in Portland. I’m looking for a house in the North East or South East for I’ve been told these are the best places.
This is my ideal home:
2 bedroom stand alone house (no condo etc) $1000.-$1200. mth. including utilities. I’d like to have the option of renting out the other room
while getting the site ready. Furnished a bonus but not necessary. Washer/drier a plus but again not necessary.
Garage a plus but again not necessary.

PDX REVIEW
So I’m going to review Portland like a record...
I think the people here are so shockingly nice because, like a kitty that has never been hit, they don’t know any other way.
Kurt Cobain is not dead. I saw him a billion times walking around everywhere and he is practically every guy at every party and cafe I’ve been to.
Everyone is snuggly and crafty and makes their own everything. This place is D.I.Y. capitol and I like that!
Living here is like living in a discount store because everything and I mean EVERYTHING is Half off! Especially compared to Manhattan!
This is definitely the place to bunker down during a recession.
Lots of awesome Witchy women and cute witchy guys! Like my new assistant Maxwell...simply magical!
Also, speaking of awesome witchy women and cute guys, thanks to Nina for modeling and using her witchy powers for the latest auction and to Matt Stanger my cute brother for modeling as well.
PDX I kiss Kiss Kiss you on your cute, chubby, snuggly, rosy, punk rock, cheeks!

Love DD
