Be Your Creepy Self
Laura the Incredible Elder Goth in VEGAS, baby!
This is my favorite part of Vegas - going down stairs in my house pants to get my morning coffee. I have also been known to play machines for a long while and have a Bloody Mary for breakfast.
Me, Myself and I did Vegas. I had random people take pictures of me as I wandered alone. There is brightness in Vegas but it is always shadowed by the dark under belly. You can feel the sin, the possibilities and the mysterious.
Believe me - I have never been the weirdest person in the room. Their is a freedom in waving your freak flag loudly and remaining a ghost.
In the Venetian walking into the Palazzo. Imagine having an unlimited budget to create a back drop. I could really do up a macabre, dark and comfortable old romantic parlour.
There are so many new adult-video game machines.
I love the Dia de Muertos and other dark machines, like all the voodoo and monster games.
The totally not me thing is ....I love the "Sex and the City" machine. I did my 2013 tour in the MGM Grand, Cosmopolitan, Venetian and the Tropicanna!
I had the best Veggie Burger ever at the Grand Lux Cafe in the Venitian! For $16.11 I had an ice tea and a stick-to-your-ribs burger experience in a swanky joint.
A MUST for your next visit!
Grand Canyon nation park was the gourmet meal before a Las Vegas dessert.
I sat on a high rock 1 mile down a steep switchback and felt like queen of the universe!
The "Rat Pack" that joined me on my adventure to The Big Hole in the Ground, Arizona.
Fulfilling the promise and Dream-weaving!

COME TO ME...
Dwell upon the fickle whims of lust or the glorious agonizing longing that almost threatens your sanity.
White
noise vibrating through damp flesh
A
stark tepid air surrounds.
Embraces.
Poof
…it’s
gone.
Stroll along these dilapidated streets through macabre fog
Alone
in the dark.
The
dank smoke of a cigarette and the fire of a dram of whiskey to chase down the
hunger for that which cannot be consumed.
Come to me......
Come to me......
A charge in the air evokes a shiver, an exhale and a flash of heat under the sparse light of an old gas lamp. Come to me......
The immediate desire is palpable, floating out of the fog
with the courage of many
men gently bestowing upon bare skin a soft caress.
Come to me......
To
run would set off a thrill that would outlast the hunt
But
the body is motionless unable to move one throbbing muscle as
The
eyes are blinded to what your soul is willing to give up.
Bargain
for.
Come to me......
A
single shot rips through the belly ending on an agonizing gasp,
A
single tear. Come
to me.....
Feverish
glazed eyes stumble through the fading delusion
Hand
outstretched begging to stay.
Poof
…The
memory is a ghost
Come back to me......
leave
behind the cold empty tomb of what could have been.
Torture, sweet torture, dangling in front of you
That
which is most desired,
That
cannot be,
Should
not want,
But
would die without.

"Who Cries for the Weeping Angel"
There’s a girl
on the corner in a long black coat
That covers the
hole from her gut to her throat.
I wouldn’t have
noticed, I would have passes by,
But the pain
that I saw she spoke with her eyes.
“They say I am forsaken,
broken and lost.”
She carries her
heart in a cardboard box.
Her voice was
like moonlight, disturbingly sweet,
“May I ask you a
question? “
My heart skipped
a beat.
What seized me
with pain was a ghost from the past,
I knew with whom
she spoke
I would be the
last.
“Someday for
this kindness a debt will be paid”,
Her icy fingers
on my cheek she gently did lay.
“If I ask you to
choose between me and a lie,
Would you give
me your heart or leave me to die?”
A tear silently
fell: her voice was quite weak,
Leaving a trail
of blood down her cheek.
“If I said I
choose you. Would your sorrow be gone?
Would it give
you the strength and courage to go on?”
“Alas, there’s
no heart in my breast to keep beating,
It’s my soul the
after-life needs to be greeting.”
For a girl long
ago and this sorrowful wretch,
I placed her
cold hand over the warmth in my chest.
At that moment,
she shimmered, and drifted away,
Rest in peace for a beauty that died on this day
The eerie night
whispers: the wind sings a son
You have now
been forgiven
by the one you had wronged.
Who weeps for
me, the girl with no heart?
Will you dance
in the darkness or tear me apart?
Promise me love
and tell me you care,
Rescue me from
my heart-wrenching nightmare.
Who weeps for an
angel that fell far from grace?
Will you give me
a kiss?
Wipe the blood
from my face?
Who lays their battered
hand on her cold carved stone?
Resting warm
flesh above her sweet bones.
Who cries for
the wretched finally at peace?
Who gave a damn
when her breath
Finally did
cease?
He once said he
loved her: once gave her his heart.
Does he regret
her madness in which he had part?
Who cries for
the weeping Angel?
Buried,
Dead,
and
Gone.
She’ll whisper
in your ear if you sing her a song.
