2nd Virgin of the season
yet another contest at work. not blood was spilt here.
First Virgin of the season, but certainly not the last
This one’s a gift for my dad, officially the hardest person on earth to shop for. So I don’t
The modern maenad
This kind of random, completely useless craft project is what I live for. It was a pumpkin decorating contest at work and it made me want to just do crafts all day. horah for foam!
a special thank you to my dearest Esther for contributing her pug blood to the cause.
Long ago, in the Greek isles, there was a lustful god, Dionysus,
Who was patron of the stage and vine and also alternately known as Bacchus.
From this name, the Bacchanalia is born, a festival attended solely by daughters of Eve
Who would, by divine inspiration and wine, from their senses, take an extended leave.
They dressed themselves in garments made of hides and laid garlands in their tresses
Thus assembled, they’d dance to exhaustion and tear at beasts with fatally wounding gashes
Such wild and raving zealots were the Maenads in their time,
And even as their strenuous striving was supremely sublime,
We can see today, theirs was but a dereliction of thought and reason
And today’s modern Maenad would not be given her proper title and season,
But be locked away in an asylum for deplorable societal treason.
Felt is the most forgiving medium
Some friends at I love MikeLitt threw together the 2nd annual Veggie Hot Dog Contest. It was loads of fun. These are some badges that I made for the gluttonous winners.
