Shoppe #145
|
Take your first Hard Left coming through the Front Gate.. Stay on the Sidewalk - do not Deviate! The Wee Peeple Doll Shoppe is just at the end On the left, before the Odeon Stage, and the bend. |
a Wee Man at the front desk
is mesmerized by the people who come into the Doll Shoppe...
hmmm... perhaps it is not so strange that
Fairytale Princesses, Deranged Witches, Wild Cats of Nature, Spell Casters,
and Dolls who experiment regularly with Fairy Magic, for example,
will often find Human friends who seem to understand them...
Compatibility between Humans and Dolls extends as well to doing battle with:
a Confederacy of Accessories!
the "but I only have one head" Hat Dilemma...
uh-oh... which hat is it going to be...?
Verily, it may come as no surprise (to close friends and family members) that
indeed, Dolls and Humans have the same basic conflicts..
For example: This Santa fellow is in a quandary- he's got three hats right now
and he can't make up his mind which one to wear....
His new friend, John Shelby- often finds himself similarly bedeviled...
the archetypal Hat Dilemma... It's like... omg- they ALL look good...
Wally came back!
You know how some humans just have a knack for noticing things... like Fairy Doorways...
The Boy who Knocked on the Fairy Door!
(forevermore)
In local Folklore... therefore
the Boy who Knocked on the Fairy Door
returned as before, kneeled on the floor,
and Knocked Once More on the Fairy Door...
The New Fish Folk swam through the Shoppe Space and around the Dolls...
...throughout all of Oktoberfest Weekend...
Fairy Weekend...
Pirate Weekend...
...and Beyond the Beyond...
The Ward.
A found object Construction.

Ye who stand mightily upright beneath this sign shall heretofore be known as "Wee"
|
Well! Several Kings wee know, as well as- Time Bandits, some little green Weed-men...
Around here, most Wee Dudes of Dubious yet Distracting Distinction
DO meet this height qualification...
|
|
no... the new Santa guys are not really dumb. They are just pretending to be dumb! Oh, those silly pretending-to-be-dumb Santas! haha
|
|
|
Remember that Dolls who do experiment with Fairy Magic will sometimes begin to grow flowers from their heads. It happens. Actually, often. Birdhouses worn in amongst the aforementioned flowering sprouts add a touch of elegance, besides enabling the wearer to catch and release fallen fledglings incidentally demonstrating how both Logic and Fashion Sense imbue Fairy Magic
|
So, with the Hexes and Vortexes lined up
and the portents favorable for 'Just getting through this"...
October is typically All About the faire...
so...
To recap-
First there was "Beer Weekend",
then "Cocktails-with-Umbrellas Weekend",
followed by "Rum Weekend" and
finally "Smoking Punch Weekend"
Four down and Four to go...
and things can get stranger still, folks...
for example:
"Roman Orgy Weekend" (aka... "Men-in-Sheets")
is coming up...
and then it will be "Half-naked Barbarians in Blankets Weekend"
followed by "Men-in-Kilts Weekend"
(as the weather gets colder this just gets more and more interesting)
and the grand finale-
"Black Friday Weekend" (aka Celtic Christmas Weekend)
which cleverly smashes Thanksgiving and Christmas so close together one couldn't get
a turkey eyelash between them.
(Astute Insiders know it's as if a canon went off... "Christmas Shopping starts NOW Weekend")
(though they may drop dead doing it, nobody is actually arguing with being forced to make more money...)
(In fact, "making more money" turned out to be "such a good idea" that TRF is going to NINE weekends Next Year!)
ah, so...
On and On and On with the SHOW!
to refresh the memory... once again...
The Renaissance... What was it about again, really?
|
During the Renaissance, Baldassare Castiglione wrote "The Book of the Courtier" ...a guide on how to become a Renaissance Man.
|
|
{also known as "Universal Man" or "Man of the World"}
"...should have a detached, cool, nonchalant attitude,
and speak well, sing, recite poetry, have proper bearing, be athletic,
know the humanities and classics, paint and draw and possess many other skills,
always without showy or boastful behavior,
in short, with "sprezzatura". [nonchalance]
SPREZZATURA!
