There is nothing that tells you you’re out of shape like waking up to a ridiculous amount of pain the morning after you’ve been Catwoman all day. All that crouching and prowling and prancing around on tiptoe in those heavy boots! Didn’t used to be that way, so now I know. Workouts commence come 5:00…

Hail Iris, 2014
Living here, you hear the phrase, “Steeped in New Orleans Tradition,” a lot. Just this Friday, I finally got to experience just what that phrase means. I found myself in the happy situation, about a month ago, of opening up my work email and seeing a message from the gal just down the hall from…
Stardust Soap Opera
Today I was caught cheating on a man with another man. I know, you say, “OH, the HUMANITY!” But when a girl needs her hair cut before an event, she goes to desperate measures. As a result, I now have two Hair Guys. Before Blush Ball, I was desperate for a cut. I was notified,…
I Veaux-ted!
I have never cared so much about a city in my entire life. Today was a landmark day as I strolled up Jackson in this gorgeous weather, and voted for the very first time as a New Orleans citizen. After years of following the politics of this city from afar, the struggles and the corruption…
Blush Ball 2014!!!
It all started with a bracelet and a flier. Actually, it started a few years ago, as I sat in Denver pining for the NOLA life, scrolling through site after site and looking at photos and reading the news and staring at everything I could that would transport me as I saved and stocked up…
Sunday’s Big Bang
I was covered in glass. Big chunks, little shards, stardust. All over. It took a fraction of a minute after the impact to get the car moved the rest of the way across Magazine St. I began to ride out the full-body case of shakes after we stopped completely and while I was doing that,…
Street Art, Literally (Sidewalk Edition)
If you take a glance up at the featured image there, you’ll get a feel for why, some days, you feel like you can only navigate by foot if you stare consistently at the ground and cast your eye nary another place. Nature tends to prevail, here. The ground isn’t really solid, and the trees…
It’s Carnival Time!!!
So, Follow Your Crazy turned 2 yesterday. I can’t believe it. I would be a little more celebratory of this if I had been faithfully writing this whole time, but I seem to have fallen off the Earth again. Lots of adjustment period going on here, in this new home which I love and adore. …
In That Number (WHO DAT!)
Man, I tell ya. It is really really REALLY hard to get work done when, three stories below your office window, streams of Who Datians flood past hooting and hollering and chanting. Damn! I really wanted to knock out early today and join the flood with a beer and some hollers of my own! But,…
