He's so wonderful. I've been a fan going on 15 years (which is wonderful and horrifying) and he never fails to impress me.

Florence Fairy Tale Deux
I got to see Florence and the Machine for a second time at the beautiful, historic State Theater. It's such a gorgeous venue. Florence herself. commented on it's loveliness. The show was wonderful and she did not disappoint. Her stage set up is much bigger than last year and she was certainly more relaxed this time around. A few pics from my seat in the balcony!~

Girly Geek Collections
So, I collect a fair amount of different things. Many of them geek related such as female action figures and certain comic books. I collect handmade necklaces and evening bags for the more girly side of my personality.
One of my collections I've been working on lately is my Harry Potter Legos. I don't have all of them yet. The newest sets are the ones I haven't added to my collection yet. Which is okay for now since until very recently I didn't have anywhere to have them set up Now, that I do I've been putting them all together.
The earliest ones are great because they have colors of bricks in them exclusive to the Harry Potter line and have since been retired. Greens, orange and purples. I'm sure I'll post many pics as I go but here are a few to start.

Minneapolis Favorites
I decided to share some photos of some of my favorite pieces at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. This is not all of them but a few. Including a Maxfield Parrish piece that I adore and was gifted with a song written just for me to go with it.

St. Paul Art Crawl
Another event I attended recently was the St. Paul Art Crawl. I seem to only make it to one every couple of years but, I always love it. An art crawl is when artiists living in lofts and co-ops open up their studios which are also often their homes to showcase their work. You can find absolutely amazing things. There are so many things for sale and I often find myself wishing I had an endless bank roll and endless gallery space at my disposal. One of the thingss I truly love about the Twin Cities is the thriving art scene. I'm lucky enough to not only know a lot of talented people but to have my home filled with lots of their work.

Art in Bloom
I love the art museum here in Minneapolis. It's not very big but it is so lovely and well put together. Last year I attended my first Art in Bloom and then my second this past weekend. It is an event in which artists and florists make arrangements inspired by pieces throughout the museum. They are so lovely and some of them smell amazing.
These are photos from this past Friday. I have so many I may have to do another post!
You can read more about the museum here, artsmia

Gothic Fairy Tale Tradition
An event I love and have attended since it's inception is Goth Prom.
The idea is for you to have all the fun you didn't get to have in high school.
The themes through the years have varied such as; Catacombs, Steampunk, Night Circus, and Midnight Garden. It's a great excuse to buy a new and unique dress and have friends over for absinthe. Here's some pictures from past proms.
It's a very tongue-in-cheek affair full of 80's and 90's dance music and lots of silliness.
