This was absolutely the best fun ever. I was invited to show my fetiches as part of the annual Feast Festival (Adelaide's answer to Mardi Gras) and i came up with the sideshow alley tent as a way of generating a suitably mystical aura around my little porcelain good luck charms. it really worked! About 120 happy punters emerged from their audience with the mistress clutching a fetiche that was just exactly right for them - lots of them had even been brought to tears by the experience (and no - she's not that kind of mistress!)

i'll be back to tell you more but at the moment must forge on - conscious of that eleventh hour tick tick ticking!
