PS It’s very quiet at my friend’s house. She is mostly resting and occasionally we have chats. Otherwise I’m reading, writing and will probably watch a movie later. ✨

How in the WORLD did I ever get mixed up with such in-sanely talented people?!?! I am gobsmacked by the ridiculous outpouring of multi-layered meaning in these Christmas snippets. First and foremost, YOU micropixie Sane Francisco. I had no idea who I was hobnobbing with. This is so beautifully done, from the music to animation to concept to subtle little throw-ins. So funny too!

As an aside, my oldest is in the East Beige in Pleasant Hill that seems like a cardboard cut-out movie set. But after gritty Oakland and break-ins and catalytic converters stolen 3X, they're getting into the 'omg this is easy. We don't even lock our door.'

And Victory Palace, I loved ImagiNation. I have an early post called Alien Nation. This is definitely where we need to go and will fit perfectly in my New Year project to do one weekly post on How to Build a Commonwealth. May I borrow it? (will repost this on yours).

Loved the little girl doing ballet in cowboy boots. Loved Mickey's choir flashmob. It's always the religious songs that make me tear up. It wouldn't take much, I think, to tweak them to include us all, all 50 Shades of Beige. Thank you for this lovely post!

Aw thanks so much Tereza! Just about to go out on a walk and will reply properly later… Hope you’re having a lovely Xmas with your magical daughters and the rest of your family. ✨

My magical daughters are the whole of my family, which makes holidays SO easy. We all cook, we all play games. No one I have to zip my lips for, so I don't get in trouble. We were playing a game last night that rated people on normal to weird, and many present normal who are embarrassed by their weirdness or disguise the normalness by presenting weird. But they all agreed I was weird inside and out, the genuine article.

Hello from a fellow weirdo! Your so-called weirdness is what resonates with me. That and your openness and honesty.

It’s funny, I watched (listened to) a couple of your videos yesterday and it was your comment about ‘superiority’ in both of them that reminded me of themes in my 50 Shades of Beige song (and a lot of my work), and made me think to post it today.

I loved all my selections today too; and yes the flashmob was epic!

Glad you had a lovely day with your daughters, they sound as delightful as you 💕

I showed your video to my oldest and youngest last night and they were very impressed! Loved the music, animation and concept! So great: someone using clever for good instead of for marketing. You have such a sly capacity with word play.

Yes, all illusions boil down to superiority, imo. Stay sane!

You may no longer live in the Beige Area but you are still Beige!

Yes she is.

Hugs back! 💕

(Though maybe I should expand the Beige Area to include everyone everywhere, since Beige itself includes everybody.)

Okay I pondered on the question and now it is officially expanded. You’re back in the Beige Area, YPH, which is in fact the whole world!

I want to share more of your posts, and I will. Empowering lyrics in that song!

The coming of Christ isn't a resurrection of the material Christ, but a resurrection of Christ within our hearts as we behave and act as Christ on this Earth. The Kingdom of God is within our hearts and for it to manifest, we must live it in our lives. The ones you seek to save the world are us. If you want to see who will save the world, just look in the mirror and act as Christ would act, and it shall be made the Kingdom on Earth.
