Wishcasting: What Treat Do You Wish For?

Hello Dumplings! *
It’s Wishcasting Wednesday and this week our Wishtress Jamie tempts us with the question:


What frivolous treat do you wish for?


Delightful.
Indulgent.


I love it.
However, upon further examination my wish is more a fulfillment of fantasy than frivolous whim—a quenching if you will. I wish for an opportunity, just one chance, one amazing night for my jazz combo, The Famous Graves to step out and show the city what kind of guts and rhinestones we’re made of! One night with all the trimmings; the blue light, the crimson carpet, the chrome microphone, the satin gown that makes Julie London jealous and an audience that understands—craves—what’s being shown to them.

--A night that makes the crowd pine for a more glamorous moment in time where Torch song was Queen, clean shaven men spoke in cigar smoke and the red lipped ladies smoothed out their gloves while snorting diamonds.

A night dripping with decadence.

I wish for The Famous Graves to get the Chance we need.

I’ve got my fingers busy working on arranging such an evening for Milwaukee’s Fall Gallery Night with the help of other local artists, music lovers, fashion designers, movers and resident shakers! I'm going to be pouring all the energy, magic, resources and juices I've got into this one--Wish me luck, my pretties!
Now, what sort of delicacy do you wish for yourself?
Wish Lavishly, darlings! May all of your musings manifest!
