Bear Bahoochie

Dinah meets Dinah

I was at a Guiding event in Edinburgh the other week and I have a travelling bear (part of the centenary fun) anyway I made said bear a green beanie hat and a green sling bag.

Devil in a Blue Dress

Speed Hallowe’en Costume and cunning literary joke in one.

I read Walter Mosley’s Devil in a Blue Dress this week. Loved it. Lots of good stuff for Higher kids doing personal studies but much more excitingly a really good story and I love the character of Easy Rawlins. I admit that the main reason I read it was so I could wear devil horns and a long felt devil tail and a blue dress for Hallowe’en but it was well worth it.
