Mermaid Tarot and Hot Witch Tees Galore!

Hello everyone!

The Handbook For Hot Witches tour has officially begun! As most of you hopefully know by now, the book was released on Tuesday which was a very happy day! Things are going pretty well right now, the House of Dame Darcy is finally up and running with lots of dolls, comics, and art for every Savannah pedestrian strolling by to check out.

I'm learning how to use the tricky square credit card reader (technology blows my mind) and I love meeting and talking with interesting people at the store.

[caption id="attachment_351" align="alignleft" width="225"] That's me hard at work in the studio! :)[/caption]

The studio is looking great, the floors and walls are tastefully painted pink and blue and there's plenty of natural light with the big windows- it's just how I wanted it, like stepping into an elaborately decorated psychedelic birthday cake!

[caption id="attachment_359" align="alignright" width="225"] I found a mannequin too! Perfect for modeling my newly printed tees[/caption]

I've delved a little more into the printing business with my new Mermaid, and Hot Witch tees. You've gotta check them out! They're so soft and cozy and I even have my own custom Dame Darcy tag inside! Look at me, ma! ;) I feel really good about it all.

[caption id="attachment_360" align="alignnone" width="300"] We have A LOT available...[/caption]

Yesterday, I put my Dame Darcy Mermaid Tarot deck to use by reading my beloved friend and business partner, Beth's, tarot.

[caption id="attachment_361" align="alignnone" width="225"] Despite my concerned look, I think everything is going to turn out OK for her ;)[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_356" align="alignleft" width="214"] The invitation for Naughty Nautical Nite designed by our amazing graphic designer, Emory Davis[/caption]

I do need to put down the Tarot though because these next few weeks are going to be super hectic for me! I'll have my awesome crew with me so hopefully they can keep me sane...beginning September 1st I'm going to the Decatur book festival in Atlanta and then onto several Pagan Pride festivals in Jacksonville, Savannah, Athens, and Augusta-whew! I'll be performing a Cabaret at the Savannah Pagan Pride with my dear friends and magic witch sisters, Adriana Iris Boatwright, Juli, and Fiona Horne -- I am so ready for some good times with my girls. And then everyone in Savannah needs to get ready for the Naughty Nautical Night at The Spare Time on September 28th. There's going to be belly dancing, a DJ and probably lots of weirdness, which is OK with me!

LOTS OF LOVE
Before I go out and enjoy my Saturday, I just want to say thank you to the Goddess and my wonderful friends who manifest in her many forms, particularly Beth Vantosh, Skippy Spiral, Claire Clayton, Kyle Hoover and all the creatures of the Earth, the spirits of the elements, and the spirits of Calhoun Square.
May we all live in peace, abundance and light, love, liberty and life!
Dame Darcy

Don't Forget....Naughty Nautical Night #2 4/3/08

Naughty Nautical Night #2

Thursday, April 3rd

An ocean-themed cabaret and dance party, hosted by the delectable Victorian witch comic book illustrator Dame Darcy and America ’s first lady of dirty folk ditties, Ms. Jessica Delfino.

This show features a variety of weird performances by Dame Darcy, Jessica Delfino, Magin Schantz, uke-ist of the high seas Ben Lerman, electronic beach jamzz by Adira Amram, hot sailors, a vast assortment of sexy mermaid babes including burlesque featuring Victoria Kuper and friends, Margot Leitman enlightens us with a tale of the briny sea, belly dancing babes, Diane O’Debra will jolly roger the place up, house band Anchor Panky rocks the boat, DJ Kai keeps the tide high, fun surprises and treats for best sea-themed costumes (so come all dolled up pirate / sailor / sea-theme style) a board walk carnival where wares shall be hocked, really strange ocean themed drinks, damn, even puppets by Jared Whitcomb. It’s like a children’s show on acid, and not that junky acid that hurts your back, the real good shit that is so fresh and clean and when you wake up the next morning, it’s like it was all a dream.

On the last episode of NNN, Dame Darcy was being played by a very sexy male impostor who pretended to be her. Darcy was helpless to attend because she was under a spell cast on her by an evil demon known only as "the city of LA. " But the sea witch hag broke the spell and now Darcy is back, for reals, to co-host NNN with zest and glee! We’ve got some real treats planned for ya, so don’t be all, yeah! And then be all, whatever!
