Hello Darlings,
Things with Splinter Dance Company are going very well. It’s nice to be doing pirouettes again. I do miss performing for all of you though. Hopefully you will come see Splinter shows!
I’m going on a trip, I need to see my unicorn. Instead of moving away permanately, he may be moving back to Seattle in December for a few months, so we can give it a go and see if we really have what it takes to be a couple. We’ve split a ticket for me so that I can go see him in Germany.

I grew up in Deutschland and haven’t been home in 7 years. I’m really excited about this trip, and seeing Chance again. Last time I saw him I thought it was going to be the end of a chapter. But maybe life will allow me the grace to be truly happy with someone that I love. I do love him, very much.
I thought of ways to raise some money for the trip and realized that I could start with the sale of my Abney Park stage outfits. This is the first round, there will be more up later. But for now, please bid!

It’s a shame, but whatever will make you happy. I’m watching all of the auctions and will be bidding.

Becca,
It’s alright girl! I made these outfits, and will continue making more. I think it’s important to do this. The AP chapter of my life is over. The outfits need to be dispersed and loved. I am keeping quite a few things, especially my peacock skirt. When you see me next there will be new outfits, I have some great ideas. I’ve been working like a fiend!

All the very best for your trip to Germany, both on a relationship level, and a returning to a land/childhood level.

Finn,
I finally read your blog on a cobblestone street at 2:30 in the morning. Such loving gestures! And thanks to all the bidders and contributors for helping to get my baby to Deutschland. I salute you!
