Wooden Luv
The Funny Puppet Fair has had me thinking of all the songs I know that have the theme of puppets. I’ve been singing away to lyrics by Agent Ribbons, Emilie Autumn, Emma Wallace…then I remembered Happy Puppet by Natalie Merchant of 10,000 Maniacs….. I’ll admit I have played it four times in a row now (much to Gopu’s dismay * smirk *)
I created my dullard strung on a wire …. she is just a happy puppet dancing on a string… her hollow head, her marble eyes, her wooden hands and her metal jaw pins… all wait in limbo for the man who knows how to move her this way……
Take a listen… the video is below.
Xxxooo

Wonderland
Gopu and I headed off last night to Two Moon Paradise’s Alice Venue to catch the smooth tunes of one of our favorite live performers, Maxmillion Kleene! In keeping with the theme of the evening we dressed in our most mellowy mushroomesque Wonderland attire. I was the ever adorable Alice and Gopu wore the very fitting Mad Hatter role. First I want to say I adore this LeLutka hair! The hair flows so beautifully in-world and it barely had to be edited for the photos…if at all! You can wear the hair with or without the ribbon and the ribbon is equipped with a spiffy color changer! I will definitely wear this hair again and again…. on Alice-days and on not-so-Alice days! Also, the Alice dress by Deviance has to be one of the nicest Wonderland outfits on the grid! If you are looking for an Alice in Wonderland outfit, look no further…. my leg work was exhausting but the result was sublime!
“It was much pleasanter at home,” thought poor Alice, “when one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits.
I almost wish I hadn’t gone down the rabbit-hole–and yet–and yet–…”
Since we had some time before the show we went to two older SIMS that are both at the top of our list of favs and rode (well… walked b/c we couldn’t get the gondola to rez! LOL!) the Alice in Wonderland Dark Ride (Black Pearl Beach) and reminisced at Steelhead Nevermoor.
“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” I remarked.
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the giant Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad. Gopu’s mad.”
“How do you know we’re mad?” I asked.
“You must be,” said the Cat as he reached down and swatted Gopu, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”
“Everything’s got moral. If only you can find it.
-Duchess”
(Also of note. The items for sale at Two Moon Paradise’s Alice Venue have nothing to do with Gopu and neither Gopu nor I are affiliated in any way with Bampu Legacies, despite what the crazy old lady has written on her profile and blog. She has been asked repeatedly to remove his name as her business partner, but she refuses. We are not real life friends with this woman and never have been, nor are we current friends. Please do not purchase these items under the false pretense that they are our creations, they are not. Thanks!)
