"My work runs the gamut in terms of emotions I want to express, but it’s most important that my work is an authentic representation of where I’m at. I don’t like the idea of smiling & putting on a happy face when I’m not feeling it because it feels like lying; I’d rather use… Continue Reading Xena’s Blue Creative Capsule
"I feel very lucky that creativity has always been encouraged in my life. My parents were always champions of my artistic nature and have been my biggest supporters and cheerleaders. I'm now working to instill those same values of self-confidence, expression and unapologetic creativity in my own children!"-- Shannon Kelley, @shannonkelley_art … Continue Reading Shannon’s Purple Creative Capsule
"Something magical happened once I landed on the other side of 30. I gradually became excited about all of the things I loved when I was younger. Witches, magic, faeries, and flowers. It was a relearning process, but I actively worked to replace my adult cynicism with a child-like enthusiasm. I reminded myself that… Continue Reading Zoe St. Jude’s Purple Creative Capsule
"I find inspiration in so many places. I keep a nightmare journal next to my bed and write in it every morning. The costumes I construct and the faces I paint very often come from those nightmares. You’re getting a peek inside the part of my brain that I can’t even control." -- Apostrophe.… Continue Reading Apostrophe’s Gold Capsule

I did try to hide big parts of my personality from my family when I was young, but once autonomy kicked in I couldn't be stopped!"-- @apostrophe_period Featuring the Blue Capsule Bundle Apostrophe is… Continue Reading Apostrophe’s Blue Creative Capsule
"I love New Orleans because you can walk down the street in a bunny suit in June and no one looks twice at you. New Orleans is one of those magical places that you can be as creative as you want to be and people love it. They don't question it." -- @elektra_lady … Continue Reading Danielle’s Bronze Creative Capsule
"Being a stand-up comedian and a woman in New York City was brutal back then. I learned how to be tough and self-deprecating, but that’s not really me. It wasn’t until I started emceeing burlesque shows in New Orleans that I realized that self-deprecation wasn’t going to work. I knew I needed to create… Continue Reading Katie East and Mammary Lane: One and the Same.
"Whenever I need an inspiration jumpstart, I watch the documentary 'The Celluloid Closet,' which talks about LGBTQ representation in early cinema. I love Old Hollywood, vintage glamour, and queer history, so thinking about what an out-and-proud, unrepressed queer culture would look like back then is really interesting to me." -- @willylaqueue … Continue Reading Willy LaQueue’s Night Shades Capsule
