I walked right down the middle of Main Street, USA and joined the Circus. Candy Confectioner, Ear hat Stitcher, Story-teller: Cast Member.

Whenever I am feeling sort of down, I read the comments left behind on some of my more popular stories and it just helps smile, even if just a little bit. Today is one of those times and it's been a dark period but today there was this bit of sunshine and I just want to thank anyone who has ever commented such sweet and positive things on my stories. Even of just to say how it made you laugh or cry or even if you enjoyed them, or liked and/or reblog them. Thank you. Thank you so much.

I just finished restoring this vintage Haunted Mansion pop-up ghost. There were four pop-up ghost designs created by Mark Davis, this one is known as the “Droopy Eye” ghost.

There is SO MUCH MORE INFORMATION at the main site entry - 28 footnotes worth! Before you start going off about “why doesn’t she have a movie” (she does), or “this detail isn’t right!” please go there and read up.

Art notes and shout-outs behind the cut.

ALSO SHE WAS A LESBIAN

Possibly.  

The tl;dr version, which I mentioned in the footnotes: “She might have been a lesbian, there’s not enough evidence.”
