Location Scouting; Ye Arkham Maides

 

Many textures in this forest.

Costumes; Ye Arkham Maides

It took me a good year to find corsets for the girls. I didn't want it to be over the top, the girls are picking herbs... didn't want it to be uncomfortable. Had to be sexy, but again, not over the top. In the end I ended up re-purposing several vintage dresses designed in a retro style, about 30 years ago. Trying it out tomorrow for the first time.

Zombie Honeybees & Decapitating Flies

Much talk lately of colony collapse disorder, when worker bees suddenly leave the bee hive.  Although unexplained, a variety of issues maybe causing the phenomenon. Apocephalus borealis, a parasitic fly which has already been attributed to a symptom in which the bees wander around aimlessly before eventually dying, as well as planting it's larvae in the bees' head, causing the heads to pop off after the larvae develops may be responsible for colony collapse from California to South Dakota.

Olde New York

There's places like this that remind me of the old New York. Is it the chipped paint? The darkness? Or some quiet. Getting back from the site in the Bronx late with Natalie. We walked from the south end and found an opening in the fence where we hoped to get over to the north woods, but instead got trapped in the never ending meadow of a golf course, as there wasn't another opening.
