As many of you know by now, Lisa (Stocking Vixen) and I are fully engaged in the creation of an exciting new concept, company, and website called "Backseam."
As with any new company, this involves a huge commitment of time, energy and passion and we both are (and will continue to be) fully committed. So Fool For Your Stockings continues on its extended break, although I'll check in from time to time with updates on Backseam's progress.
I'll let Lisa tell the rest of the story:
"Thanks to everyone who dropped me a note checking in on me last week. Between a few family obligations and work picking up in earnest on Backseam, my new nylon project, it was impossible for my brain to string words together coherently enough to post on SV the last seven or eight days. Thanks for caring and thanks for being patient.
I'm working (more than) full-time now on creating Backseam - something I believe most people who read this blog will love and will hopefully find entertaining as well as incredibly useful and fun. I'm sorry to still be somewhat mysterious; my partner-in-crime, Nick Danger, has threatened to take away all my knee boots if I say too much.
We are, however, happy to give you all a sneak peek at the kinds of visuals that will inform Backseam, by sharing a
Tumblr site we've built to blog images we feel capture the vibe of what Backseam, our new venture, will be all about.
Please note: this is not a preview of Backseam – we’re not ready to share that with you yet. With this Tumblr, we just wanted to give you a little taste of the kinds of visuals you’ll see on Backseam when it’s launched in early 2010.
And be warned: the circumspect
Stocking Vixen has snapped her garters, so to speak, and this preview is absolutely not safe for work. If you are offended by visible lady parts, it's best not to click that link.
And some of the images we loved were so adult that we created a second blog, Backseam Extreme, for the really grown-up ones and I won't link to it here, but there's an easy-to-find-link on the Backseam Tumblr. The warning in the previous paragraph applies here in spades.
I've recognized in the last week that if I try to balance blogging regularly here with finishing Backseam that I am not going to do either thing well, so Stocking Vixen will have to be on semi-hiatus for the near future. Nick and I will be posting images and commentary over at the new Tumblrs as well as hammering away at building this new fun place for all of us and I'll still pop in at Twitter and on Facebook, so I'll be around. I'll miss being able to play here, but I truly believe you'll think it's worth it when Backseam is up and running.
I have proven completely unable to take a complete hiatus from Stocking Vixen in the past, so don't be surprised to see me drop in from time to time, but for the next couple of months it will be the exception to see posts here rather than the norm.
See you soon!"
When you have a great idea for a new project, and you wake up each morning (and sometimes in the middle of the night) with the same passion and focus you had when you first imagined it, there comes a time after a few weeks or months when you actually begin to see it, feel it, hear it, and taste it - on the page, the monitor, the canvas, the viewfinder, the sound mixer, or wherever it manifests itself.
