I love telling Diary what’s new :)
Drag Purim is all written! Please get tickets, even if you’re not Jewish it’s a great story and it’ll be a great show. I’m going to the synagogue tonight to rehearse tech cues. I’m so proud of what I’ve written for it and I hope it resonates well with the audience. And very excited for Love Games which is the night before! I’m gonna try to get some more promo material out for both this week.
I still need to finish cleaning my site too. I made a lot of progress and organized much better than it was, but my art pages are still not sorted… I hate to leave so much of it as lost Flamedia, especially since it was such a big part of the site when I first started and it’s something I’m known for. I’ll organize those soon… probably. As always, I’m all over the place :3

Yoohoo diary~
Saturday was my mom’s birthday! We celebrated with a lot of ice cream :3
Afterwards, I went to Sky’s queer laser tag event with Teddy. It was fun to go pew pew pew.
Sunday I did another mini photoshoot with Teddy. I’ll probably put those photos up soon. We took some behind the scenes video and runway shots too that I’ll maybe post later.
Monday I got help organizing my studio room from another one of my boyfriends. It’s such a relief to not have clothes strewn all over the place.
Since then I’ve been doing a bunch of project work. Updated the website home page, might update the about next idk. I’m almost done prepping for my upcoming shows. I never thought I’d have to study biblical stories to prep for a drag show, but I think this will end up being my most important show to date.

Clementine photoshoot uneditorials are up!
I’ve started making some pretty pretty edits. No idea when they’ll be done. I’m sleepy today.

Omg diary it has once again been a while. Three whole weeks, sheesh. I’ll do my best to recap:
My trip ended up being a week and a half instead of a week. The blizzard shut down the airports here. I had such a great time with my grandma though. She has so many wild stories, and I was able to show her some of my work. When I showed her some of my photos she asked who the model was. When I showed her some of the games I was working on, she was very impressed, albeit confused. She asked if anyone else was doing this and after giving it some thought… no, not really! There are of course lots of drag queens and lots of game developers, but the overlap between the two is extremely niche.
Getting away from my usual routine always sparks inspiration. I kept writing for my upcoming shows, and another project I’m not ready to share yet. It’s all coming together! It’s kind of a lot of pressure being so involved in the productiton process, but I know if anyone can do it it’s me, Flaminia.
Oh, and I did a photoshoot with sweet Clementine. I’ll post the uneditorials soon.
I’ll probably try to write some articles for my blog… I’ve been neglecting that for a while. Whoopsy.
Ok that feels like enough of a recap for now. See you later bye <3

Yoohoo diary,
I got my new dressup game online! Yippee. Of course, there’s more polishing to do and bugs to squash, but I’m just glad it’s out. I hope I get to see lots more dolls people design. I made my mom make one. Might post it later. Honestly this editor is a lot more complicated to use than just making a doll with paper or drawing over one digitally, but it’s got a je ne sais quoi that makes it feel special.
I ran into an older queen today, totally out of the blue. It was really nice to see her. I have a fondness for old school drag. They all started doing this at a time when it was much less mainstream. Even with the tradition of grand pageants, nobody was starting drag with the dream of being recognized for it. It was simply an unescapable urge to express. Maybe that’s an overly romantic view, but what are diaries for, right?
I had another meeting for my upcoming Purim show. It went great. The space is beautiful, I will be fully equipped and given a lot of creative control. And most importantly, the committee loved what I wrote for my opener. I get asked a lot where I’ve been and where you can find me, Flaminia, next. Honestly, I’m performing a lot less now that I’m saying no to gigs I don’t actually care about or feel like doing. It already takes so much energy to do this, I might as well put in the extra energy to do it in a way I actually care about. Between Drag Purim and Love Games! Live, I feel wonderful about what I’m doing this season.
That’s pretty much everything I think. I’m going to California soon to visit my Grandma, so I’ll either be way less or way more active online. Ttyl <3

Everyone’s been soo niceys about the new Flaminimis I put online! I’m glad the designs are resonating with people. I’ve gotten a lot faster at making them now. So far, I’ve been asking people one by one to see if they want a doll. But if any local performer wants one, they can contact me, Flaminia, directly. No promises, but I’ll do my best. I still have a few queued up to make and then I’m going to be using them in various game dev projects! My digital dress up minigame is almost finished <3

I spent Saturday at the Goldenrod with Eric. We made some plans for this years Love Games (which I’ll have an event page up for soon), and we did some songs together in the cabaret room. He plays the piano sooo beautifully.
I got some good feedback on my new site layout. Today I finished a page for people to download all the existing Flaminimi dolls. The digital dress up update is almost done too.
So so much to do. I’m enjoying it though.

It’s 2026! Wooooo! I had such a wonderful New Years at the Marigold Theater variety show. I’ll do a more in depth write up about the night soon. In spite of everything going on in the world, that night made Me optimistic for this year.
I now have a dozen paper doll designs done for my upcoming gallery update.
I stayed up for hours past my bedtime tonight doing more website work. A little bit for the newest issue of FAGIOLINA, but mostly just reorganizing to make the site more usable.
There’s still plenty to be done. I want to clean up my blog and add tags (something I should have been doing from the start), and I need to decide how to organize my artworks.
I think I’ve made huge improvements in the navigation, but I’ll have to watch some regular people use it to be sure.
But… no one is awake to test it right now, and I’m sleepy, Flaminia.
