“Dame Darcy
is coming, Dame Darcy is coming”. “All hail our leader of
mischievous fairy tales and creator of all Great creations ”Film,
dolls, Crafting, comics, fashion just to name a few of this Witches
trade.
The northwest
would be blessed with her majesties presence. Yet only as far as
Portland, so I quickly wrote her asking, begging and pleading for
Death By Doll (DBD), to come just a lil further
north and play their magical melodies.
Also, the Dame
would be including a book tour of her illustrated version of
“Jane Eyre”, so much to see, so little time…
DD
then asked me to call her so we can discuss arrangements, after
dialing the digits I discovered that her drummer Christopher resides
here in Seattle and also plays in ARKADE, I was able to book
some extra signings along the way at literary houses, and a warm
place for her to lay her pretty head if need be!
Though I ran outta
energy to attend the Portland appearance, I was not going to miss
the night in Olympia. As usual I can count on Xtina to be my
co-pilot.
We arrived early
and Christopher (DBD drummer) offered icy PBR, and accompanied us in
the dark back ghost bar.
A boy was playing
his electric distorted guitar in great northwest fashion, a circle
of folks circled around him Indian style on the floor.
Then DD
arrived and complimented my hairstyle, in which I informed her that
it was my “George Washington Do”, we laughed and then went
about our way, (she wrote about this in her journals online), (even
said I am beautiful),
A puppet show was
next and we somehow missed it completely. Xtina and I are great

DBD
was setting up and damn they were hot, electrical, out-of-this-world
dreamy. DD performs and prances as a Meat Cake star. Her
wailing, faint screaming and angelic harmony melted my aura.
It was over before
you knew it and we chatted, giggled and traded tales of road
tragedies and heroic mishaps.

Joey
Casio took stage and he
is by far “hubba hubba” of the month around here! Electric
stamina, great hair /attire and boy can he dance! Jumping in the
crowd, tweaking knobs on his gadgets and making the young studs
shriek. I told DD he is a sure fire MeatCake hero if I ever
saw one.
The night in
Olympia ended with naked twister by the puppeteer from earlier in
the night. Xtina was designated spinner!

DD
decided to lay her pretty head at Christopher’s in which I promised
her my wee ones would be disappointed, they had been so thrilled to
have DD at their home. But my children would get to meet her
at the book signing on Capitol Hill the next afternoon.
Arriving in the
middle of her discussion at Coe Books, I was impressed with all this
woman has to say, the way she lives, thinks and breathes. Dame Darcy
is a strong feminist/environmentalists Wiccan, whom is educated on
the rhymes and reasons behind her cause.
Darby Jane
absorbed every word that DD spoke.
When the discussion
was finished, Darby Jane eagerly gave DD a drawing she
had made for and a suffer gate doll of Dolly Madison. SailorHank
had a Meatcake signed and we then whisked away to Nikel &
Jenines.
The Comet was on
the agenda for DBD that night and I tried to get every person
I know in Seattle to witness the sheer genius behind the unicorn
inspired lyrical fairy.
ARKADE
opened which most knows is Miss O’s favorite NW band.
Pure heaven,
Kelli is really really really gorgeous! There are some people
you meet and feel a natural attraction to their being, and Kelli
is one of them for me. She sings, plays guitar and writes the music
in ARKADE.

Nikki Sugar
is also a sweet soul (keys/synth), and then Christopher (drums) a
musical genius with an attractive presence. Their music reminds me
when you are daydreaming and deep in the daydream you realize you’ve
been driving your automobile for miles and don’t remember, it’s that
state of in between. And they are not that sissy pop dreamy
nonsense, they are more of that “ I woke up in the bathroom stall”
dreamy.

On with DBD,
this performance out shined the prior night in Olympia. It was the
last night of a 90-day tour. I had one of my best nights in Seattle
since the big move; Darlene was there Steve B, Danielle and of course
Xtina!
