See the sights
of the 5th annual Los Angeles Dia De Los Muertos
Festival held each year
at the Hollywood Forever
Cemetery.
Interesting note....The Hollywood Forever Cemetery is the only
cemetery in the country that allows any type of Day of the Dead
Festival to be held on its grounds.
This year, it actually rained. Just a little...wimpy California
rain. Just enough rain to spot your eye glasses, very annoying. But
it was nice to have to put out some of the wildfires. The lighting
was a little low, but I was able to take some pretty good
pics.
This whole festival is a photographers dream. There are so many
things to take pictures of.
Hope you enjoy the sights of the Day of the
Dead.

For
the record....I am a huge Pinhead/HellRaiser/Clive Barker
fan
Clive Barker
frequented a 90's gay alternative club called Sin-A-Matic
It has been rumored in L.A. that some of Barker's characters may
have
been inspired by Sin-A-Matic patrons. Lots of leather, rubber,
whips, chains.
I met Clive Barker twice at Sin-A-Matic.
Both times he was very friendly, but oh what a queen he
is.

would be to live in. Ron and I took many pictures. So many great
things to see.

When I was a child,
my favorite grandmother would give my sister and I an advent
calendar each December 1st. You remember advent calendars? All the
December dates leading up to Christmas day on a piece of cardboard.
Each date was either a door or little window that had a surprise
behind it. It was usually a small toy or candy.
So a few years ago I decided to make an advent calendar for the
days leading up to Winter Solstice. Hey, I am a Wiccan. Not that I
do not celebrate Christmas. If you want to see the Winter Solstice
advent calendar it is in the artwork section of this blog.
Well...now I have created an advent calendar for Halloween. Each
day I will post a new "door" as the days lead up to Halloween. I am
a total dope and forgot to post October 1st last night so you will
get a double door day on this post.
