"Keep your eye on the Ball"...

the BlOgLaNdIa BaLl that is -

date:
September 26
to coincide
with the full moon*...

purpose:
dancing, reveling, sharing,
creating - together...

venue:
post your ball gown/dress/narrative/poem on your site on/around that date with links to other sites... leave comment here ON THAT DATE so I can link to your site...

the "book":
option for copy/save permission to
create a book from participant's offerings - dress with a brief narrative, poem, journaling of experience, imaginings...
my thought here is that each of us could create a "book" or document of the Ball by copy/save/print if participants are willing...
think about it...

a SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLICITY of creative sharing!

now... about the "DRESS" (in any medium that suits you) - the dress wears YOU - your soul, your truest innermost SELF - fancy, casual, colorful, basic black... etc., - the "DRESS" is your personae at the Ball - BUT!!!!!!! - don't get hung up on these words - make something fun, surprise yourself, make several as your mood changes and the ideas flow... its not a contest but a co-mingling... together.

Now - its time for me to make a proper and lovely invitation - to use in your book if you like... be patient with me here...

Dive deeply into your psyche, journal, let it be a fun process of sharing YOU with all of us...

and -

*this moon is: the harvest moon, the chrysanthemum moon, the mulberry moon, the singing and the barley moon...

MAY YOU BE INSPIRED AND INSPIRE...

I am inspired - from your energy, enthusiasm and the Bloglandia sharing...

xox - eb.

what a neat idea, eb! your dresses are so wonderful!

[tinker]

Yes, oh Yes, to it all - what a truly marvelous idea - a simultaneous multiplicity of sharing, AND a dancecard souvenir of a booklet, so we can all share the memories later, too! Woo-hoo!
Hmm, what to wear, what to wear...must start digging through my scrapdrawer - I mean, closet - to put together an outfit. You are such an inspiration! xox

[Conni]

Ooh, I am so excited! Ideas are swirling as I type! And the day after the ball...the 27th, is my birthday, so my party dress will be inspired by that as well!

[Lisa Oceandreamer S.]

Of course I say YES to every single bit of it....yes without hesitation!
simultaneous multiplicity of sharing....now that's a song a girl
can dance to!
I will be ready to
dance by the light of the moon...
XOXOXO

[Lea]

Yes... oh yes...
my words twirl
and dance
with your invitation
for all the above
and with what unfolds
as we dance into the
full moon of September...
sprinkling wonder dust
as we go...
igniting sparks of creative music
to the rhythm of our souls,
weaving back and forth
in pure delight!

[Betty @ She's Sew Pretty]

Oh yes! Me too. I'm already dancing to the music in my head!

[Mahala]

I heard of this from Lisa Oceandreamers blog and am excited to be a part of this.

[Leslie Marsh]

[Greenishlady]

Oh, so that's why I have been gathering pieces of frippery over the past months! I have a ballgown to make! May I join in?

[marita]

i have to remember THE DATE with a red marker on my calender. inspiration starts to swirl, filled with gentle music and soft images...a fool moon gathering of friends as dancing meneades with floating dresses...softly speaking the enchanted stories they brought along!

[Marilyn]

What a fabulous idea! Can't wait to see what you all come up with!

[Kara]

Oh Goody goody.....the ideas are a swirl and there is time to make my ball dress. Count me in for it all!!

[Mom & Dad]

Just can't wait to see all the magnificent dresses and gowns that will be attending the Bloglandia Ball! Iam sure Miss Smarty Pants will appear in her most style-setting attire any of us have ever seen! Won't this be exciting and fun!
I AM WATCHING and WAITING!!! XOX, Mom

[Dara]

I am so excited about this!! I'm going to get started right now!!

[donnalayton]

This is REALLY gonna be fun!

[Girl gone thread wild]

Oh, yes! Yippee! Skippeee....

[Conni]

I'm so excited. I have had an old print for several years that I absolutely love. I used to keep it in my booth when I do shows, and finally had to quit bringing it because so many people tried to buy if from me and would get frustrated when I wasn't interested....anyway...I think it goes so perfectly with our ball...so I included a blog post today about the ball with the print...check out the gypsies dancing in the moolight...too perfect! http://vivaconsuela.typepad.com/weblog/2007/08/come-one-come-a.html

Also, I will be leaving for a show for the next 6 days with no Internet access...so will check back for any other info late next week. Adios!

[Melba]

So wonderful and Fun!
