This thread shows two of the items from the Wings inventory I most have my eye on, but I will still be very happy if one or two of you lovely people grab them for yourselves before I can get to them

Have to share this first photo of my act from the official Saskatoon International Burlesque Festival photographer, Ken Greenhorn. He’s just unreal Was moved to receive the Glitter Guru award last night, for being an old broad in burlesque. I really appreciate being seen as a performer of age!

Ya know, maybe if employers are so concerned about the niceties of people carrying a beverage into an interview they could hold up their end of the bargain and actually let you know if you didn’t get the job

Who would like to come over and pack my stuff for the Saskatoon Burlesque Festival for me? I have to leave the house in a mere 12 hours

For something like 27 years now, my husband and I have had a running joke about the late, lamented Le Beaver Club at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal Today I got these three charms, including, yes indeed, the hotel

Of course the Western Mass. lesbian bar story is full of tidbits to make people snicker (clown school! Neopronouns!) and of course it’s about Covid safety on one level but looked at more broadly it’s a familiar story to anyone who has worked on a community-engaged project or business

Why can’t this happen to my business? Would make a nice change from grant writing and donor campaigns

All hail the miracle that is Ponds Cold Cream, which was the sum total of my mother’s and grandmother’s skin care routine, along with a warm washcloth. Got all the layers of makeup and glue right off my face tonight with no fuss

Nothing like the night before a show to test out blocking out my eyebrows for the first time. Took an emergency trip to the Shoppers makeup department and trying again

I’m sorry, they’re putting ads in fortune cookies now? Capitalism is starting to feel a little too heavy-handed in its imagery

My eye is always caught by these. Do I love them for how lovely they are? Yes. And do I love them for the poetry of their component names (strawberry quartz, fire rose, green garnet, etc)? Also yes

Follow up: I absolutely regret the Blue Raspberry Crush. I have a pretty high tolerance for candy and sweet junk but while the colour is beautiful it is absolutely disgusting

Jessica Gutteridge aka Hotsy Flashy @gateau.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I bought proper dinner food, of course, but grocery shopping with my 15 year old, I also consented to the addition of hot wing Ruffles and blue raspberry Crush with a chaser of gummy snakes and I have zero regrets

I don’t understand how any of this is still in the shop!

I love this one whenever I see it because you can see the artist’s thought process of seeing that scalloped wave in the stone as the edges of a bird’s wings and building around that idea

I am having the most fun ever creating a Marlene Dietrich act. Doesn’t require dancing, just lots of cabaret-style posing and vamping and I get to interact with the audience AND I learned to tie a bow tie. And made a tuxedo-themed panty! Definitely one for the repertoire

These are so great. Something about them really speaks to me

It really does look like beautiful blue corn! Having worn my @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social beaded necklace today, one thing I’ll say is that it feels utterly secure and solid. Sometimes when I wear beads I worry all day that I’ll snag and break the strand or clasp but never with these

This 👇👇👇 🎨

💚 Your artist and designer friends probably aren't as full of themselves as you think.

Please remember: they share their work and accomplishments all the time as a matter of survival. No one else will be their hype man.

That grant? It's the only thing keeping them going during these slow months.

This flashy opportunity? They have been trying to make it happen for a year with only hope to keep them going and it's finally happening!

That exhibit? It's the only one they got into out of the 15 they submitted for.

That new painting they posted? They kinda need it to sell so they can pay the rent next month.

So be kind in your thoughts. Imagine if your job required social media presence on four platforms to make sure ends meet.

And if you see your friends or acquaintances post art that you like, please share it! It can make all the difference sometimes.

💚
