This is what has been inspiring me lately.

Here are a few vintage clips of turn of early twentieth century dancer, Loie Fuller performing her infamous serpentine dance. The film was hand-tinted by Thomas Edison to produce the beautiful colors. Enjoy!

Well, first things first: I am very pleased to announce that I am working for myself and pursuing my creative aspirations!!! I’ve been doing the happy dance at very interesting times.

I have always been a writer and ever since I could string words together I was forming stories based on a very active imagination. 

For me when my creativity is stifled, I tend to feel lackluster and annoyed at the slightest things. Fortunately, I was able to make a dream a reality and leave the traditional job environment behind. No more cubicles and though I haven’t been a member of the corporate work force very long, it was more than enough of an experience for me to realize that this was the perfect time to create the life that I had always envisioned.

What does this mean for stylealchemy and for you lovely readers?

Look for more in depth articles and lots of exciting features to the website and the blog area.

More thought-provoking interviews and adventures.

Ridiculous amounts of visual and mental inspiration.

I am predicting this extremely creative time period as my own modern version of La Belle Epoque. (What a romantic notion, huh?)

So, I am happy for all of you who wish to come along for this wonderful ride.

Stay tuned and if you have any suggestions for this blog or things you want to see, leave them in the comments!
