the Fairytale Experiment, presented to you by Theater of the Magical
Real. We are honored by One Arm Red to use their beautiful theater
space in DUMBO, Brooklyn (www.onearmred.com). "Alice Underground" is
our modern adult retelling of the classic story of "Alice in
Wonderland", set in the present with our gritty New York City as the
backdrop.
The reading shall start at 7pm and we would like to invite you, our
friends and cohorts to join us and stay afterward for some discussion

Our beloved Rose Robin has edited a short 30 minute taste of the
documentary of "Fairytale Experiment on the Road" and it is up on the
internet in beautiful quality. This is just to give you a taste, this
summer we shall be releasing a full-length feature of the adventures
of Lunette the magic bus, and the fairies exploring America and
performing our original Fairytales...

Watch it, and please comment and vote and give feedback:

Happy New and the magic of 2010

We brought in the new year in a cream colored corset and an oversized vintage suit, a grey felted stingy fedora... The only thing missing was a bowtie and a very short and fat cigar to make the backstage persona for the Shanghai Mermaid complete. All the acts were wonderful as always, but a new jem of discovery is the burlesque performer of New Orleans (our home away from home) Perle Noir. Her first number, shimmering and ecstatic in gold with an amazing feathered headdress, was enough to make even this brave and debaucherous soul feel faint. Another precious highlight, getting to hear the lovely Juliette sing a few numbers, a treat you don't get every time.



The first is a day for recovery, for sleep and classic cinema curled up with whatever pets you can find, lost in a stupor of coffee, last night's champagne, and reflections of the year past and the year to come. However the second is a day to have a "brunch for dinner" party, beyond "breakfast all day" which is genius on its own, the "Brunch for Dinner" party is a C.Spot invention wherein dear friends come over for the greatest meal of this fair city, and enjoy it starting at about 7pm or so... Perfect if you party till 7am...

Sunday was another treat to start it off right. We go to Bembe and hear one of our favorite bands, The Mumbles, featuring La Mer. The music is so good and we are all together and we think of Solange with love and less bitterness to the loss, we just honor her, and love everyone around us in her honor.

Here are some photographs of some costumes made by C. Spot recently. They were constructed over the course of one day, inspired by the characters of the Midnight Fairy and the Sunshine Fairy Prince.
