Dear Constant Reader,
I may have mentioned that Devastasia is a very talented artist. She did the illustrations for my first costume book, as well as the second (I know, I know… I swear I will get it out there someday…). Whenever she’s teaching at B.A.B.E., she makes eye-catching ads for Instagram, like this: 
I, myself, am not an artist, let alone a talented one. I just don’t have the eye that some of my friends do and I get overwhelmed by choices. There’s a reason all my Fannie Farmer cooking videos use the same fonts and music. I may say it’s for consistency, but it’s really because I made a decision and don’t want to change it.
While Devastasia will happily make these graphics for any class I ask, I thought “why should she have to do all the work?” So, I found a photo and using Preview (the only graphics program I have), I did this:
Not bad for my first try, if I do say so.
And if you’d like to join me to learn a burlesque routine featuring a parasol, well, all the info is right there.
