En Gypsy Couture 08: Lagniappe (by Katelan V. Foisy) I first heard of lagniappe from a woman who lived in New Orleans.  Lagniape is a little something extra to make your day special.  For example if you were at the market and picked up a few things for gumbo, the cashier might throw in an onion and say “Lagniappe.”  It’s a special gift to make the meal complete.  My life is full of little things to make it complete.  This week was no different.  It’s been a rough one but these few gifts and events has made it much more bearable.  Venus and Mercury are in my Sun sign Taurus, and Aries, the sign we’re in now, is my Venus so I’m thinking the universe is going to throw a little love and sunshine my way. “Lagniappe.” …  The ravishing Veronika von Volkova paid me a visit as well.  We had a splendid evening of photography and grapes.  Her renditions of the photographs are absolutely stunning. We took the photographs together (except the ones of just me) and edited them seperately.  Mine will almost always look grainy and aged. Thank you to my friend Warren Ellis for bringing us Whitechapel, which I am convinced is the nexus of the universe. ——— You should absolutely click through to read the entirety of Katelan’s piece.  I am so excited by seeing what we each come up with, as I’m a big fan of Katelan’s work and artistic vision.  I’m delighted by this version she’s created.  I see in it elements of both antique postcard and spectral photography, and I love that confusion of time, space and plane.
