#conflation

Jesus and Paul provide the template for us to understand how to process our offences and emotional pain. At the end of this post, I provide the title for what I think is a way better book on that topic. #Unoffendable #BrantHansen

This is a series of posts on a book I am not recommending you read, but will provide the link so you can read the first couple of chapters for yourself, if you would like, or purchase if, in spite of my review, you are thinking there might be something in it for you. The Danger of Conflation The book does address the issue of conflating feeling and action (though these seem to be conflated so…

My Saturday look. I had intended to dress up as Captain hook, and had all my gear to do so, but I didn't have the energy to "be" the character. And I didn't have any other male-presenting clothing with me to dude around in, so I went with this easy and comfortable attire.

Enchantment Under the Sea, Conflation 2023.

Shown here with my tentacle shrug/wrap.

Here's a close up of my makeup and hair:

And mask, of course.

Captain Hook! Been working on this one for a while. Last year's version did not work at all, but this year I realized the importance of Eyebrows! I also realized that I didn't need a coat, so I recycled the Lucius Malfoy waistcoat.

Sea Goddess! The dress is intended for a Daughter of the Rainbow costume (from the Oz books), but I loved the way it looked with the green/aqua wig.

In between, here's my daytime look, complete withy real hair. (Note; that's a black penoir set. The blue is a lighting weirdness from the window.)

I didn't get a pic of the royal blue gown that I wore later on after I busted a strap on the rainbow dress. The selfie camera in my phone is being cranky, hence the old fashioned selfies.

I was a Party of One most of the weekend, relaxing in my hot tub suite, soaking up the WiFi.

20,000 Leagues Under The Tea

8pm, Friday at the Hotel

Having lost the Jolly Roger to Peter Pan, Captain Hook is hosting a tea party from the submarine Nautilus. Mermaids will be dispatched to deliver a picnic tea to all the other submarines in the area! Tune in from the comfort of your own sub for a good time, good conversation, and above all good form from the Dark and Sinister Captain Hook.

Please sign up using the link below, being sure to add your room number once you know it. Our cook, "Long" John Silver informs us that there won't be a menu to select from, but he is more than willing to accommodate dietary restrictions.

Your picnic tea will be delivered contactlessly shortly before the virtual program begins. It will include tea bags and cups to brew in your room. The bill of fare will be an eclectic collection of sweet and savory nibbles. Please inform us on the sign-up if you are unable to consume certain foods, so that we may tailor your delivery. 

Prortotype costume. I won't be wearing the crappy mustache, I'll be wearing a more different...crappy mustache. And the black wig, etc. I'm going for a more "Dustin Hoffman" Hook.
