Pinkorama #1: The Convent of Peepsino
Some sculpt in marble. Others sculpt in marshmallow. It gives me the greatest pleasure to present to you the 2014 crop of Pink Carnation Peep Dioramas (Dioramae?). Miss Gwen is having a good gloat right now. All three of this year’s Pinkorama entries have their inspiration in The Passion of the Purple Plumeria— and one…

It’s that time of year again…. Can’t you just smell the sugar and the marshmallow? Yes, you guessed right: it’s time for the Fourth Annual Pinkorama! (That’s really short for Pink Carnation Peep Diorama, but if I had to write that out each time, these would become very long posts.) The rules are simple: using…

It’s Pinkorama time! I was so impressed by this year’s entries and would, before we begin, like to thank Candace, Cassandra, Christine, Jean, Casey and Julie for all the thought and skill they put into these. It’s hard to believe these started out as mere sugar-covered marshmallows. Without further ado, in order of appearance, here…

Just a quick reminder… all Pinkorama entries are due in tomorrow! I’ll be posting the full slate of candidates here on the website on Wednesday, so everyone can vote for their favorites, with prizes all around.

More fun with peeps! For Pinkorama #2, we have Christine and Jean’s creation: The Ruination of Penelopeep. Here’s the description: Ahh, Penelopeep. She was rocking out to the Harlem Shake at a party with her girls (hey, at least it wasn’t Gangnam Style) and accidentally blurts out that she was snogging with Freddie Staines in…

For our first Pinkorama, we have… the showdown at the end of The Deception of the Emerald Ring, beautifully crafted by Julie and Casey. Here’s the overall view: You can see Geoff battling the rebels and Miss Gwen with her sword parasol while the rebel hideaway goes up in flames and Jasper makes off with…

I’ll admit it. I dropped the ball on the Pinkorama this year. (As I described on the Ballroom Blog the other day, there’s been a bit of a four book bottleneck going on chez moi.) Since I completely forgot to post any reminders, I’m extending the Pinkorama deadline by an extra week, to April 2nd,…

This year’s Pinkoramas were, in a word, peeptastic. Every single one was amazing, from Richard’s tiny eye mask in Amy Meets the Purple Peeptian to Delaroche’s curled mustache in The Extra Special Inpeepogation Chamber to the hilarious intro to Peep Inception to the candy Axminster carpet in The Ambush on the Peep Aimee. Take a…

From Candace and Cassandra we have… The Ambush on the Peep-Aimee from The Orchid Affair! Also known as The Peeperness Strikes Back, with Captions by the Artists. We present Chapter 33 from The Orchid Affair in which our intrepid governess and cohorts turn the tide against the villainy of Gaston Delaroche. As you can see,…
