A massive thank you to the amazing sassy and stylish Ms Girdle Buster who traveled through time from the 1940s to be with us. And a huge thank you to The Avian Belle who invoked the sweet, delicate and strong sprit of the Tui. We couldn't imagine two more different blondes. Both utterly sensational.
One of the competitions was to draw without using hands, artists utilised mouths, feet, insides of elbows, knees, nostrils, even the space between jaws and collarbones. Wonderful to watch and fabulous prizes were well deserved.
Wow! We were one of the sites that won the art and it came in the mail today! This is thing is huge! I honestly expected just a small drawing but the art is 12"x12" and looks great. To the other sites: keep trying kids because it's worth it to win.
Security clearance arrived yesterday evening & we were informed not to bring cellphones, recording devices, weapons (I worry that sharp pencils could be considered a weapon), laptops, drugs/alcohol (coffee?) or chewing gum. No inappropriate footwear (damn it! I said goodbye to my June Carter costume plan of 5" high heels), singlets or spaghetti straps or inappropriate slogans on tshirts. We are given some references as to what not to wear.
The first example being David (the only gay in the prison?) from Little Britain. In his skin tight leathers in red & blue, he is provocative & sporting gang colours. A BIG no.
It's Dr. Sketchy at it's bare minimum! However, we have been informed we can give cookies away as prizes. Sweet, sweet cookies. In prison this is like money. We have farmbake brand. They are $100 bills in a world
