Pinkorama
Pinkorama!
In the midst of Pink XII madness, I’d entirely forgotten that it was Pinkorama time! A quick, unofficial poll: given my extreme tardiness, is anyone still interested in making a Pinkorama (Pink Carnation Peep Diorama) this year? If so, I’ll post the official rules and contest whatnot tomorrow!

The entries are in. (And all about Miss Gwen!) We’ve seen…. The Convent of Peepsino, by Candace and Cassandra: The Lost Jewels of Peepar, by Karen: The Naughty Peepfire Club, by Winter: As Grand Pooh-Bah of this Website, I hereby declare all three winners– because, really, how can one pick? Candace, Cassandra, Karen, and Winter,…

Last but not least, we have Winter’s dramatic rendition of Miss Gwen and Colonel Reid spying on a meeting of the Naughty Hellfire Club. (Did I mention that Miss Gwen is currently gloating SO hard over the fact that she inspired all three Pinkoramae this year?) I cannot improve upon the caption that came with…

In this wonderful Pinkorama, by Karen, we visit the last scene of The Passion of the Purple Plumeria (if you haven’t read it yet, avert your eyes!). Journey with me to the drawing room of Selwick Hall, where the location of the lost jewels of Berar (or Peepar) has just been discovered…. There is Miss…

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. And now, without further ado, we have Pinkorama #3, courtesy of the talented Candace and Cassandra: “Peep & Biscuits”,…

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…
