“It’s Okay to be Neither,” By Melissa Bollow Tempel
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got in line for art, and I noticed that she still had not removed her hood. When we arrived at the art room, I said:...
Seeing that I have a few minutes...
because the Bunny won’t stop playing with her Christmas gift from me (HUGE success!!!! yay!! :D ), the most obvious thing for me to do is to see what my Unicorn name would be!
It’s Lily Dapple Girl! “Lily is generous of spirit and always thinks the best of others. She is a dappled beauty and she casts spells of beauty.” How gay is that?! Haha
Wanna see yours?...

Merry Christmas, lovers!
Have the most wonderful day! Wishing you and yours a beautiful Christmas! xx
Happy birthday, Tea-and-Glitter! [and tomorrow,...
So one year ago today I decided to start my blog. You can read my first entry HERE. (yay!) I have absolutely loved writing in this space. Although my updates aren’t super regular (workin’ on it!), I think I’ve done a decent job of accomplishing the goal I set out to do: document a bit of the glitter and tea that makes up my [wonderful] (weird) {whimsical} and totally...
Travel Diaries of Evey: London Town Calling...
Today I leave with the Bunny to go to her hometown. I’m not packed yet (shocker), and I’m nervous as hell. Not only are we going to London, which in and of itself is HOLYSHITAMAZING, but I’m going to meet all her favo(u)rite people, including her family and best friends. I’m going to see where she grew up, where she came from, and why she’s so weird (in all the ways I...

[Insert your particularly celebrated holiday here]...
The holidays are here! Christmas! Kwanza! Hanukkah! um..Et Cetera!! It’s my favorite time of year. The twinkling lights, the romance, the scents, the coziness, the hot chocolate, the sparkly little details, the focus on reconnecting with friends and family, celebrating love, the special decorations, the music, sex in front of the fireplace on a bear skin rug (only for the holidays), The...

Help?
My friend Brittney and her girlfriend have two adorable little three-and-a-half month old kittens. They’re litter trained and the sweetest things! Brittney loves them dearly but has stage 3 cervical cancer, and can’t take care of them anymore. They’ve called shelter after shelter but have been rejected by all except the kill shelters. She is looking to find good homes for these...
Best wedding pictures ever! →
One of my favorite Sunday evening activities...
jacking other people’s cats for photo shoots.
Meet my best friend Tera’s kitties (in order):
Estrella, also know as Lion Kitty.
Franklin, man of the house.
Benny, who is a girl but has a mustache.
And Baby Kitty, also know as Heels because when she walks her little nails click like high heels on the hardwood floors.
It’s sad that I’m a crazy cat lady...

Pinups & Pasties: STAR WARS vs STAR TREK!
Nerdgasm!
Here are some a million photos of my performances from the Pinups & Pasties: STAR WARS vs STAR TREK show at Baby Grands held this past Wednesday. I had so much fun and it felt bizarrely wonderful to let my inner nerd mix it up with the vixen! [oooh, weird, two of my identities colliding! (with pretty rad results!)]
My first number I performed as Slave Leia…an obvious...

New Faces for the New Year!
I’m hosting an audition for new girls to add to the Les Vixens cast!
If you think you or someone you know would KILL IT as a neo-burlesque/go-go goddess, then check out this link and get back to me! :) I just found a ton of new girls, but I want to see who comes out of the woodwork. Spread the word, if you’re so inclined! :) Big love and major thanks!

Speechless
I sometimes get messages here or on Facebook that completely blow me away. The following is one of those:
Hey Ivy! I know we don’t know each other, like at all, but I wanted to tell you that you’re a really big inspiration for me. My parents don’t know that I’m gay or that I’ve had a girlfriend for the past two years. This is because my dad’s a minister...
Geordi La Forge, Star Trek: The Next Burlesque...
I won tonight at Baby Grands for the second time in a row! HOORAY!
Oh, guuurl, I spent all day on last-minute costume stuff, pasties, songs, and general madness. But it was worth it! I had so much fun and to top it off, not only did I win but I won BEST COSTUME, too, for my Ewok! :D
I’ll post more pictures when I get them from the ZILLION photographers who were out and about tonight....
