So my ankle is healing,  this is obviously a good thing.  I can walk up and down stairs with less pain everyday and I even found myself doing something that resembled dancing (to the very very untrained blind eye) in the kitchen while listening to the radio last week.  These are all steps in the right direction.  So of course since we all know about my patience, I set myself and my wife up for a little gig of sorts together last night.

We went and modeled for Molly Crabapple. If you don’t know her, for shame!  She is this incredible artist who is creator of Dr. Sketchy’s.  Not like heads up one of them but the entire shebang!  This woman is talented!  She is doing a piece for Manifest Equality and she chose to use my wife and I as her subjects!! I’m so super excited to see what she comes up with.  Even if unrecognizable, it is still just an honor to work directly with her.  And to sweeten the pot she gave us a signed copy of “Scarlett Takes Manhattan,” and made us aviation cocktails.  A truly fun excuse to don the face paint and head out into the world.

It felt good to get into my costumes again even if it was just to stand there and pose.  I am beginning to feel inspired again to perform once more.  I’m so anxious to hear my Doctor give me the ok.  I know I’ll have to start slow but that’s ok.  I have one amazing group holding a slot for me, knowing it will be a bit gimpy but still wanting me to be in their show.  It really means so much.  I also have contacts I can get back to, got to get back on that horse of promoting and producing.  I’m also in talks with someone about making a custom costume!! I’m really excited and am hoping to have it for my fire tassels.  I will not let this leg nor any negative people out there deter me.  I’m going to come back and it’s going to be huge

My friend sent me this little bit from a book when I was getting some negative comments from individuals.  (it’s funny how it all happened around the same time and all the IP addresses came from the same area, and while I could call people out I’m not going to because regardless of what said people think, I know who I am and I don’t need to be dragged to their level) I do love this quote though,

Policeman: “Ma’am, do you have any enemies?”
Old lady: “Don’t be insulting! Of course I do. Enemies are an indication of character!”

and baby, I have character!

So much is coming soon, I can just tell.  I look forward to keeping you all abreast as to the upcoming events!

huggles and kisses
