The making of a trailer

So, I will do a trailer making post reveal, you know, because you've already seen the awesome trailer. Here goes!


This is Dariana in the will be famous one day Dariana's nightgown. Notice the corset and the pretty lip gloss. Goes with the knife handle. So... One day Dariana was playing croquet and realized that 'I forgot my croquet mallet', but her boyfriend Lewis said, 'don't worry Dari, you can use this cool knife'. And Dariana said, 'Gee, Lewis, but what if I accidentally fling it backwards and nail an old lady between the eyes like that time when we went bowling.' Lewis has a thoughtful look on his face then gives everyone in the room magic red blue and black helmets that aren't only concussive preventative but also strikingly patriotic. She uses the knife without any further hesitation and wins the game.


This is the cast and crew. Dariana in Dariana's soon to be famous Dariana's nightgown, Atomizer and sweet potato, special effects, Lindey, soon to be famous film noir filmer of black and white things, and Jamio, producer extraordinaire who hauled miles of burlap out of the swap to be used in the running through the woods scene which she ended up not needing because Dariana aka Kimmi has world's toughest feet.


I'm still bummed about the color not being in the final shot, but it was explained for a long time, all the whys and stuff, but it would be so cool. All black and white and then red when she gets her primal on, makes sense, for the book, you know? Of course you know, and if you don't know, go buy my book right now! Agh! Hurry before it's too late!

This makeup is so 'are you a vampire?' don't you think? Very intense. Huh. This was almost my cover, or a version of this anyway, but you know what? I liked my original best after all. Can't mess with originality, or you can, but you might regret it.

So there you go, totally worth waiting for.

Trailer, Glorious Trailer!

Here it is! The most amazing Trailer in the world, because I said so.



This is the fine acting work of Miss Kimmi, and her brilliant sister Lindey the film student with mahvelous things ahead of her. Produced by my dear friend and Wild girl, Jamie. The breathing is suki. Yep. Coming, I will show photos of the process, which was tedious and yet really fun. So fun. I want to do it again! Hmm. Full length film anyone?

Seeing Purple

What is it about spring and purple? Irises, phlox, clematis, lilacs, hyacinth, azaleas, and irises. Yes, I said iris already, but it is my plant, the beauty, the intoxicating aroma, the petals that collect rain and douse the front of your shirt with their magnificence, and they have the best names. My draculas kiss is so delicious, so rapacious, so splendidly dark and mysterious, wooing me with its luscious nearly black petals and the trail of red down the dark beard. Utterly mesmerizing. Dangerous, a lover hiding in the dark waiting to seduce you into wasting hours and hours in rapt perplexion.

Pastels? Quite literally

Hello! I'm not supposed to be doing fashion posts because I'm too easily distracted, BUT I can do this one because I'm wearing my first shirt, a COOL shirt that's kind of fairy, and super fun to wear, swingy and stuff, with my House of Slide trademark design. So, I can do fashion. Yay!


Here's my hairs all pastel. SO fun! I highly recommend it. Here's the link from pinterest http://thebeautydepartment.com/2012/01/chalk-it-up/  Thanks Jenny:)
 Here's my shirt. Cool, no?


 This is my Monet umbrella from the fine art museum in St. Louis. I love it.

My book will rerelease in May in time for my book talk. I'm doing a new cover, more YA, and using all the knowledge I've won from my first go to make this a smooth sail. Wish me luck!

(And let me know what YOUR temp is so I can make you a shirt:)

Fashion Friday: Green with luck?

Hi! I made a polyvore because I'm excited about St. Pattys, but Green turns out is kind of a hard hue to hurl at the eyes of the beholders, but here we go anyway!

I have several green dresses, so maybe I could pull this off, will certainly give it a go. Wish me luck leprechauns!
