The Old/New Year, Rebellion and a Pomegranate Manifesto

December 31st, 2008 · No Comments

Pomegranate girls, taking tea.

New Year’s Eve is upon us. We sisters – obviously – do not head out, drink excessively, shout and kiss strangers on New Years Eve. It’s not our thing and so unhygienic really. And who needs an excuse for excessiveness? We like to think of the House of Pomegranates as a big [...]

Mr. Flowers gave a curious knock at the lighthouse door. Although he wouldn’t tell us who we were meeting, he did turn to us and say, “She’s expecting us.” The wind blowing up off the ocean was bitterly cold and peppered us with salty spray. We were spending the day with Mr. Flowers as our [...]

Still She Haunts Me

December 18th, 2008 · No Comments

Alice came home with this, our 15th version of Alice in Wonderland. It’s a compulsion, it’s a fetish, whenever we see a new or different version we buy it (unless the cover is unattractive, then we look away) And this, with stripy stockings AND Alice inside, how could we say no? We are surely amassing [...]

The Most Magical Pomegranate Cinema

December 14th, 2008 · 1 Comment

We will confess something upfront, we don’t generally do music reviews. We will also confess, we are biased, we’ve met koe before and are more than charmed. So please forgive this biased review.

All things, as we know are political – being a witch, being an artist, being mad, they all challenge the state, the order – for as we know witches, artists and mad people have no master. Yet they all answer to something far greater than church and state, they answer to their own demons and [...]
