The "Happening" Circa 2008 (Retro Summer of love)

So you see, Judith and I volunteered on Friday night to help out at a major event in our community called The "happening" which was basically dinner theater, and thanks to my parents bringing me to this little community since the "sixties" I actually know what a 'happening" is. Judith on the other hand being from the right side of the tracks, had nothing to wear. So after showing her the above photo, and explaining that my mother is not musical and those are not her bridge club members, we worked out a routine "Freak Freely and Far Out" and put together some outfits that would be in character to be part of the show.
This is our pal, Cimarron and my artistic inspiration also in character and looking "Far Out" I wanted to introduce her to you all, as I believe she is potentially one of the premier artists of our time and getting better every second. Keep an eye out for her in a gallery near you.
This of course is PeJu post face painting by our pal Elaine. She can work the face paints like no ones business. Pretty cool huh kids? Maybe when you visit you to can look like aunt Judith "the hippie", but don't let your parents find out or off to boarding school you will go!
OK, so this is Helen, mother of three of our friends, teacher of children, master actress, Postmistress retired, grandmother to some special girls, and all around cool person that doesn't mind blacking out her tooth for show business. It is a wish you where there story, but picture your mother acting on stage like a star struck school girl at the feet of another actor pretending to be a rock star, it is a good thing her children all have a sense of humour as one might be a little embarrassed by such a display of overwhelming lust do to star fever. Helen is always entertaining to say the least!
So what the, is this you ask? Well that is Jan (AKA Lawrence Welk) and all around wild musician, so why the gun you ask. Something about defending her honour and fight to the death and winner takes all. Judith, the mortgage, credit card debt, and hundreds of half baked business ideas. So as you can see me being armed with nothing more than a camera and Jan a .22 I had to think fast and work my charm before he unloaded this clip on my backside. Being known for my quick action and even faster mouth, I quickly moved into the battle ready position, and threw everything I had at Jan, until he surrendered to my poetry. Just like a "hippie" comes to a "B" IN with a gun, dame hippies, when will they learn Beatniks invented the summer of love.

Anyway the night, the music, and the skits, where a riot, I don't think I have laughed that hard in weeks. So in future when Valerie, says party I recommend you come. That gal knows how to throw a bash!

Judith is currently negotiating with her to host future GUTZ tradeshows!
