Purple Pantsuit Adventure

Today I am going to put on the Purple Pantsuit and go on an adventure....

Perhaps I'll do some time travel, and maybe some shape-shifting, it remains to be seen.

In any case, I'll  be back tomorrow!

INTERNATIONAL FLAG PANTSUIT

How much do you want an International Flag Pantsuit?

I know I do, so it looks like it's up to me to make them.

Imagine how popular you'd be traveling the world in this number. It's clearly a must-have. 

Unfortunately, however, they don't make International flag material, so there's lots of work to do before we sport "The International".

I'd like to wear one to the International House of Pancakes, for starters!

 I am on a word fast today, so just pretend you can't see this...

         I am also on a food fast,

                   An art fast,

                  A Hill-fast,

              As well as a fun fast.

             This is my day today.

                       

Pantsuiting with Sally

Today I had the good fortune of getting a tour of my friend Sally's Pantsuit closet...

Sally's Pantsuit collection is impressive. She estimates she has around 100 or so.

Here's just the tip of the iceberg.

Sally has special hangers that allow her to layer her Pantsuits, according to color, size, and season.

Wow, imagine that! Layer upon layer of Pantsuits!

Here's one of Sally's latest acquisitions, purple corduroy with purple leopard lining.

I asked her is she was afraid to wear The Purple, you know, because of the shape-shifting, time travel thing.

She just shook her head YES.

Thank you, Sally, for taking us on a delightful trip through your closet! 

Happy Pantsuiting, everybody!

The Magician's Pantsuit

This is the Magician's Pantsuit.

This Pantsuit has Pure-Crushed-Velvet-Purple-Pantsuit-Powers.

Powers not to be trifled with.

 The Magician's Pantsuit is never reliable.

This is why Hillary never wears The Purple, at least not publicly.  It is rumored she wore The Purple to Bermuda, which explain the whole mysterious "missing two weeks at the Bermuda Triangle" thing that happened last month.

A rare portrait of the Magician's Pantsuit. Now in the collection of Kate Taylor.

 This is the Pantsuit most often chosen for walking between worlds, and for time travel. This is the classic "Now you see me, now you don't" Pantsuit. 

When wet, this Pantsuit's powers increase exponentially. It becomes a conduit for receiving messages from "The Great Unknown". It is the Ouija board of Pantsuits. 

In fear of The Purple's power, I seldom wear the Magician's Pantsuit.

 Today, however, I feel the need to connect with The Great Purple Pantsuit Mysteries of the Universe.

The Critic

I call this Pantsuit "The Critic".

The last to leave any art opening, you can always count on "The Critic" to thoroughly annoy.

The Critic thinks it knows everything about art, and everything about everything, for that matter.

The Critic thinks it's funny, but in reality it's only sarcastic and insulting.

If you see The Critic coming your way, you might want to head in another direction.

Let's talk Pantsuits

After watching the movie "Grey Gardens" last night ( which I highly recommend!) I decided I'd better attack that scary land I call my closet... room...area...junkheap.

First order of business, I must climb Pantsuit Mountain and see what I can see.

I discovered that I have a lot of Pantsuits. 

Not including the 40-50 red pantsuit blazers I have stuffed in garbage bags, (from the Phone Car days), I've counted 42 Pantsuits.

I also have another 20 or so Pantsuits over at the Art Envoy Institute, which puts me at about 60 or so.

  Will it ever be enough?  I wonder...

This is one of my current faves... it's a rust-colored mohair number I call "Rust Never Sleeps".

Perfect for fall.

A night with the Stars

The Stars were out in Bisbee last night at the fabulous Loma Linda mansion...

Our hosts... Ziggie Stardust and Cher, thought of every little thing to make the night sparkle.

After spending the day considering who to be, I finally decided on Raquel Welch.

I went for the early, earthy, groovy "2 Million Years B.C." era Raquel.

Suzanne also came as Raquel, and made a much better one I think. Here she is with Braveheart.

                Gunslingers galore!

    Many thanks to Ziggy and Cher, for inviting us to their home for a spectacular evening!
