The Lost Princess, fellow traveler

The Princess was the daughter of a ruling family of a lost realm. She moved with majesty and grace, and despite her regal manner was highly trained in the deadly arts. Her royal attire usually concealed a surprising amount of weaponry. While she once ruled armies of soldiers, she was perfectly capable of taking charge of her own battles. The Princess burned to find and rebuild her kingdom, and the Pirate Queen’s quest might prove to be a useful way to further her interests. The Pirate Queen did not fully trust her, but the Princess’ story was too compelling. Somehow, they would find a way to work together.

Tales of the Chosen- The Dark Lady

The Dark Lady awed the Pirate Queen. This immortal woman seemed full of mystery and darkness. The Lady was the beloved of the Vampyr, full of seductive self-interest and casual disdain for those mere mortals who became ensnared in her charms. She was ferocious in fighting and in love, and took glee in the physical and emotional wounds she inflicted. But for all her ferocity, there was a naïve charm about her, as though she had no idea of her full powers. The Dark Lady was feline and graceful, yet awkward in her dealings in the tender emotions. There was a subtle vulnerability about her that entranced. While the Lady had little respect for human needs, she secretly approved of the Pirate Queen’s ability to fight. She would join the epic search, but for that reason alone.

Dreams By Machine: The stories

In the interest of welcoming you to this world- here begins the stories of the Dreams By Machine.

Once upon a time, in a land all its own…

There lived a pirate queen who longed above all else to make a story of her own, one that could be shared with compatriots. She fought many battles, danced many dances and triumphed over odds large and small. She had many stories to tell- but not one that could consume her or make her part of a greater epic. She grew up with such stories, and vowed that one day hers would become one.

She sought the company of those she admired, whose stories seemed beautiful and magical, terrible and unimaginable to her. The hope was that those stories could combine with hers, and together create a tale for the ages.

The start of the Deconstructivist line…

Now just starting.

Lynn and Kristine of the Majestical Roof in Pasadena were both gracious and insistent enough to get my first clothing line started and out the door…

And now, here they are. It’s a good start. Thank you!

It’s a mix of carnival, repurposed style and more than a hint of supervillain.
