Got to play “model” for two of my incredibly talented friends and colleagues over the weekend. Thankful for artistic friends, women hyping up women, last-minute plans, and creative play. 📸 Jasmin Huitzil

Court of Ivory LARP: I didn’t take enough photos, but trust me when I say Victoria was dressed to kill for session 4. It was all fun and games until folks started declaring praxis… 😬 second pic featuring my stunning partner in crime, Sam, AKA @thatcallisto.bsky.social

In my unnecessary accessories era. My bartender asked if I was a photographer, and I said, “No, I just wanted to look cool.” He said, “Mission accomplished.” 🥹

Every LARP should have an in-game photographer 📷 Thank you for our portrait session, @sleepingscholar! I’ve been having too much fun playing Victoria in @ventrueminis’s Court of Ivory.

Court of Ivory LARP: ✔️ Flirting ✔️ Fierce ’fits ✔️ F*cking around ✔️ Finding out
Victoria thought she has things under control, but things got a little… bloody. But hey, the beast is hard to control when the company you keep is so sweet 😉

“Patty Rae” at Hey Nonny in Arlington Heights | 9.9.25
Last night was great! It was awesome to meet so many wonderful songwriters, and the Hey Nonny crew did a fantastic job of running it all.
And wow, what an audience!

Court of Ivory LARP: Victoria Barclay’s second Elysium wasn’t exactly easy — Sire issues, am I right? — but things could have been worse!

Court of Ivory LARP: Meet Victoria Barclay, a brand new Ventrue and former child actress studying (sort of) at the University of Chicago. Behind the facade of success stands a clueless girl who’s managed to stumble her way through life (and death) so far. In-game pic: @sleepingscholar.bsky.social

Okay, Catholics and Conclave fanatics — tell me how y’all feel about the new Chicago pope.
(I grew up Lutheran, so I don’t know all the ins and outs, but I’m intrigued!)

@vhenanlarp.bsky.social’s “Cry Little Sister” Lost Boys-inspired LARP was a blast! I was Pat Bannon, 1/2 of Bannon & Butler Private Detective agency. I survived the night, but Bannon sure could use a stiff drink and to move out of Santa Carla.

@flashes.blue sorry if this has been reported already, but I downloaded the beta, gave it permission to access all my pics, but it isn’t updating to include more pics that I’ve saved between downloading the app and now. Tried restarting it/pulling down to refresh with no luck.

I played Maisie Greycourt, “The Sheltered Starlet.” At the precipice of breaking reality, all she wanted was to be an opera star and wed her artsy emo boyfriend. Girl… same.
