Many Thanks and Much Love,

I could petition the maker of Zach creations to possibly loan me a pair of his gauntlets... I could see if my (prospective), light-haired, elven-looking model might have a decent pair of care-worn bluejeans (or leather pants, possibly) as well as the appropriate boots (something tall, strappy, and weathered-looking- preferably brown or -very- worn black that's gone a tattered grey). If not, I'm almost sure I could find something at either Unique, or as a loaner through the local goff community... And no doubt I could find a loaner staff or makeshift scepter if the photo ended up calling for it- but I don't think it will...
All proper credits would be given fully to any contributors, and if it all worked out & the piece was displayed, I'd absolutely put them on my links pages, as well as list them anywhere else that the piece would be displayed. :) (Yay publicity! ;D)
I could do the body art myself, as well as the hair design using some autumn leaves, a fancy elven-looking headpiece of mine (or someone else's as a borrow, if necessity required), and do the makeup myself as well (for ears, effects, etc.). I could very potentially use some extras to fill in the the small, background roles of the vagabonds and different passers by (like the woman w/a shopping cart and some rich blond w/a tackily loud fur coat), and I'm unsure of whether I'd ghost him in on his between-escalators-stair-made throne at the center of everything or not... ...
Hmm.... Hmm..... Hmmmmm....
All I'd need from there is a better camera, and the ability to use a local subway station for a bit...
-I wonder how impossible getting that would be....
..And lighting.
...
So.. is there a role, job or permanent occupation out there for someone who thinks up dramatic tableaus for a living? A set designer? Window dresser? Photographer's assistant..??
I have no idea... But I know I can't just draw this- (well, not to the level of realism, naturalism and expansive scope or detail that I'd want, anyway... I'd have to do a room-sized piece, and that's just not possible.) It'd be great to piece this together, though. :) Maybe I could recruit some friends, borrow some fancy equipment for an afternoon, gather up all I'd need, and get this done.... ?? :D:D
Addendum: "And the base goes like this:"
This li'l sketchlet should give you the absolutely, most basic idea of what I'm talking about, here. (Of course, there would be more background scenery on the sides, as I'm thinking this would have to be something like a rather panoramic view. Perhaps a rather large image.. too even- like poster size at least to be able to get the scale & grandeur, and still maintain the detailed focus on him that I want. Moreover, I'm thinkin' I'm going to keep him and the background as the solid elements in the image, and make the passers-by the ghosted ones. This should be pretty easy to do with either real film or digital film layering (as I'd shoot him first, and then all of the other people a few times with, and ten maybe a few times more after), so I'd keep the vagabonds, black-carted bag lady & other traveling people more "ethereal," w/his presence presenting as the more concrete....
..And I suppose I could use a gent w/darker hair... But he would -have- to be able to pull off a certain disheveled, haughty arrogance, and the lax regality of the character- as well as have super-pale skin. (Which we're probably still going to ashen, somewhat.) Plus, he'd still need to be the thin-but-leanly-muscled type some people call "wiry." Long hair is preferable for ease of production...but hell.. at this rate I could possibly also just use a [GOOD] long wig and make it all disheveled and ratty-tatty/dready like I'm picturing, too....
Ahh, so many ideas!! I think I'm going to have to make this happen.
-Perhaps a call to WMATA is in order....
-And maybe a notice to CraigsList after some specific preparations... ^_^

I can has a new work, pre-colour. :)
There will be a fanciful clock-face imprint on the upper-right-hand corner amidst the background soon. :) This was inspired by my love of Knocker fae (and the men in my life who remind me of them), as well as Midnight's upcoming theme on Saturday night (where I'll be vending); which centers around Frankenstein/the commemoration of Boris Karloff's birthday. :)
-And the title of course was inspired by The Dresden Dolls' song "Coin Operated Boy-" as I love the whimsy it inspires, as well as the idea that perhaps it might refer to either the knocker himself or his creation. ^_^ (Or both!.;D)
Hope you like!

Anyway, enough of my rampbling. I am showered & clean, wearing cute-but-comfy clothes, and am both looking & feeling pretty darned decent. ^_^ My stomach calls to me for sustenance, and as one roommate is in bed still asleep and another is out for the day, I think I'll take this opportunity to have a relaxing "morning," get a little yardwork & artwork done, and hang out in the living room a bit until everyone wakes/gathers up. :)

-Hmm.. I may even feel like going out tonight... anyone up for a bit of a trip?? To Michael's maybe, or hell, just about to.. anywyere? :D
I wanna go out a bit. ^_^
Anywho- I'm out! Hope all of you are having a good day!
Love Love!♥♥♥

I has a handsome kitty. (And yes, he feels as soft as he looks. ^_^)
It's a good mornin' (or now, afternoon), and I'm feelin' pretty good. :) Gotta skidaddle to get some things done before I run errands today, but at present 'm just kind of feeling sorta.. "aaahhhh." ^_^
Hope all of you are having good days, too!
Love and Light,
Nae
Maybe if they're nearby somewhere in the spirit world and can make a visit, I'll have a little rattie-ghost or two sitting atop my shoulder(s), nibbling my ear(s) and letting me know they might miss me, too... (Or perchance, we might get a few visitors taunting the living kitties here, now that my boys can no longer be hurt? ;):))
I just hope that now that they've gone, they somehow know that they were loved, and that they're not afraid of me anymore... :\

I'm sorting through a bunch of videos on my YouTube pages, and have finally decided to put all my dellybancing bits in one place. :) So trying to find the SteamPunk vids I aired here eons ago, I came across this. :) Hope those of you who dance, (including men & women alike) will like! :D
Oooh! Plus, BELLYHORROR is coming up this weekend!! Friday night is the BH show AT THE BIRCHMERE, (O.O) and then the rest of the weekend they're going to be having workshops & other BH-related events- including a horrrrific Tribal Cafe, where more All Hallows belly-fun can be had! :D
Also, Galena (or as many of us know her, Kelly or Caitilin), will be hosting one HELL of an All Hallows Hafla this weekend, on Saturday night! There will be TONS of bellydance there, a costume contest, prizes, food & drink (both adult & otherwise), and even a babysitter for those of you who have wee small kiddies. :) (The early half of the night is PG, and the rest will be darker, scarier, and a little more PG-13.) I'm going to be missing out on BellyHorror's after-party to be there, and I -know- it's gonna be great! So join all the folks w/Sestraluna and many of us from Galena's dance classes out in Glen Burnie Saturday night for one amazing, spooky party! :D:D
Check out her page @ www.galenadance.com for further details. :)
It's shapin' up to be one fun, busy All Hallows Eve week! :D:D
Love and Grins,
Nae
P.S. Vending last Saturday night @ Midnight went pretty okay. Scott bought one piece, then bought another for a girl who really wanted one of my works, and all the rest was raw customer-age. ;D My white, indoor-painted cat w/the "Welcome" sign on him even got sold- even though he hadn't been lacquered yet! (This of course I told him, and gave him a lower price on it for. It doesn't hurt the product, you just can't put it out in the rain/weather because of it.) So all in all I made about $150, and it seems I'll be vending again next Thursday, @ Tronik's redux of "Spooky." :) Wish me luck there, and at Kelly's Halloween Hafla, where I'll be going as.. something... (I don't yet know what), and hopefully vending a few of my wares. ^_^
♥♥♥ to All!

Then, there's this bit of deliriously, horribly funny from one of the Jonas brothers, being utterly humiliated. :D
And then, the original, for those who need the complete frame of reference. ^_^
(Oh, and don't forget Justin Timberlake's skit of this from SNL! :D)

If you have more items you'd like to add here, please feel free to pop me some linkage. :D I'd love to see what other people have found to creepily, eerily decorate the gothy, horror-centric, or just generally gory home! :D
Hope you guys liked!

(Ghosts trying to throw things at me, people I know in life w/me in places that feel similar, but are different- etc. :))
So how are all of your nights going? Getting good sleep? Able to greet the morning happily..? I sure hope so. :):)
After pulling a pillow out from under me that I've been sleeping with since I got here seems to have done the trick n' now my neck is hurting a LOT less... (It'd been hurting more often and worse than it ever has in my entire LIFE, so I'm grateful that seeeems to be ebbing away now... *crosses fingers*) That's a true good. :D How is you all doin'??

I guess that's why I'm always trying to share my favorite music w/others- it's how I connect w/the world on the most visceral of levels- and to empathize w/my music is in some way to empathize w/me. :)
