OPEN POST: Peckerwood is Haunted; Hosted By Sir Whiskersey Kittypants.

By

Did you know that Peckerwood is haunted by a gang of Victorian ghosts? Those rattles and creaky floorboards aren't residents sneaking to the kitchen for 2 AM nachos or tawdry meetups in the cloakroom. Nay, my friends, these ghosts also want in on the fun or have lived here since the manor was built and are trapped because they feel they are the real owners and we are simply their guests. Besides, our antics amuse them, and they are ardent fans of Bendyboys and Caza's power ballad karaoke nights. Don't be afraid. Our ghosts won't hurt you except for Millie the Grouchy Fishwife. 


Sir Whiskersey Kittypants would love to introduce you to them, and one in particular may surprise you. 


Why yes, that is Charles Dickens. No one knows why he is
here. He won't say, but he's suspiciously always around
when it is time for the nude male revue. 
Consuela and Guadalupe, aka Carrie and Lucius, they like to pretend
to be South American heiresses shipwrecked off the coast.
Really, they are Canadian missionaries who fell in love and ran away.
Why Lucius is in drag is anyone's guess. 
Can you guess who is Fishwife Millie and who is her
long-suffering sister Agnes? Millie, you see, drinks. A lot. That
bottle of old Scottish whiskey is for her. Those broken plates? Millie.
That sudden pinch you feel on your arse? Millie when she's drunk.
Agnes does her best to control her but she prefers to follow Valtrex
around.
Mr Liotard, the inventor of the leotard. He secretly teaches our 
pets tricks. He has no time for humans. He thinks we
are beneath him.
The Victoria and Albert lookalikes who conned their way
into one too many upper-class manor houses and are still
hiding. The jig is up but sometimes they put on airs. Fishwife 
Millie likes to point out they are both from Whitechapel. 
Their horrified expressions make Millie laugh, it is the 
only thing that does. 


Sarah, the delusional would-be bride. She thinks it is amusing
to steal clothes, sing, and whisper in the hallways. That faint laughter
is her. She's harmless but playful. Her career as an actress has
left her rather dramatic and longing for one more debut. 





Sleep well.

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Barbara Cartland!

By

Are you off work yet? Are you ready to throw a swingin' party? That means making party music mixes, right? And, yes, you must throw in a WTF song in the middle of the mix just to mess with everyone. For example, say you're throwing a New Years Eve party with a bunch of cooler-than-cool jazz or house music tracks; in the middle if it, throw in this song . I guarantee everyone will squeal with delight. In fact, throwing that song into any mix is always a good move.  Want more ideas for WTF songs to drop into your mixes? DJ Li'l Scratch has got you covered. But first, let's pause for a moment. This is important. Why? Because this is the definition of beauty: The face: like a pale, English Cream Custard (which is just a bit overcooked). The jewelry: made from the finest diamonelles money can buy. The eyes: with their exquisite baby tarantula eyelashes (the eye shadow is their after-birth). I'm overcome, I can barely breathe. And, no, this is not RichBitch. She is, of c...

OPEN POST: Merii Kurisumasu めりーくりすます! Or Christmas In Japan Is For Couples!

Christmas is celebrated differently in Japan, yet much of it is recognizable. We see beautiful lights, Santas, and  decorated trees, and it is a time for getting together. But it diverges there because Christmas in Japan is for couples.  They exchange gifts and cozy up for romance. Though American food is preferred, KFC is  preferred ; it can get expensive, so they will have tasty Japanese romantic dinners or something delicious and homecooked.  It is common to see couples holding hands flushed with love and happiness. It is like Valentine's Day except on Decemeber 25th. Only about 2% of the Japanese people call themselves Christians, so it would make sense to carve out their own traditions and make this holiday something unique to them and reflects their culture.  Christmas Eve is for  kurisumasu ke—ki , a sweet sponge cake with filling, but the next day is for dressing up, making fancy dinner reservations, and staring into the eyes of your "ride or d...
