kebechet Report post Posted November 22, 2007 The Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab and Black Phoenix Trading Post updates are live! * BLACK PHOENIX ALCHEMY LAB SEA OF TESTICLES UPDATE Blue Moon threw us for a loop this year, so this month we are doing something a little different for Lunacy. Old skool Lunacies will resume, as scheduled, next month. SEA OF TRANQUILITY Look how the pale Queen of the silent night doth cause the ocean to attend upon her, and he, as long as she is in sight, with his full tide is ready here to honor; But when the silver waggon of the Moon is mounted up so high he cannot follow, the sea calls home his crystal waves to morn, and with low ebb doth manifest his sorrow. Silver-dusted lotus, white amber, rose otto, passion flower, white sandalwood, buttonweed, and white poppy. TANUKI Tan Tan Tanuki no kintama wa, Kaze mo nai no ni, Bura bura! The mischievous sake-swigging, debt-riddled shapeshifting raccoon dog. These creatures carry a fistfuls of counterfeit cash and wear leaves from Buddha’s sacred lotus atop their heads. Their kin-tama -- golden balls -- are so large that they can swing them over their shoulders like backpacks, and are so taut that they can play them like drums. They are masters at the art of transformation, and live to overindulge in wine and women. A scent of hedonistic, uninhibited joy: bamboo reed, plum blossom, persimmon, magnolia, black pine, sweet osmanthus, flowering cherry, mandarin orange, wisteria, and yuzu. CAPRICORN 2007 Cardinal earth: the essence of control. Solomon’s Seal, pine, amaranth, ambrette, cypress, wild tobacco, and hemp. Sea of Tranquility and Tanuki are $17.50 each, and Capricorn 2007 is $20.00. The Lunacy (both BPAL and BPTP) will be live until approximately 9pm PST on Monday, November 26, 2007. Hey bpal.org peeps! There’s a new forum-only blend. =) http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/forumscents.html - - - * BLACK PHOENIX TRADING POST BIG OL' WHOA UPDATE PLEASE NOTE: Black Phoenix Trading Post will be closed from November 27, 2007 til December 2, 2007. Shipments and emails correspondence will resume on December 3, 2007. Thank you for understanding! There’s a whole heap of new stuff at the Post! First, the Sea of Tranqulity tee: This elegant design was created by our beloved Jennifer Williamson. Shimmering white ink on black tee. Two new nail polishes have been added to the Claws page: Blood Countess and Morgause. Blood Countess is a ghoulish maroon gloss, and Morgause is a regal plum metallic pearl. We have two new massage oils, created in harmony with two oils from the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Panacea collection: TKO MASSAGE OIL Many things -- such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly -- are done worst when we try hardest to do them. Soothing lavender in a blend of skin-softening almond oil, rice bran, and vitamin E. UGH MASSAGE OIL Muscle ache relief. The combination of arnica, rosehip, evening primrose, almond oil, and apricot kernel oil is high in vitamin C and gamma-linolenic acid, and coupled with analgesic eucalyputs, invigorating orange, and refreshing rosemary, this blend is said to help heal bruises, reduce swelling, and soothe strained muscles and aching tendons. Also new at Black Phoenix Trading Post: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Bath Oils. Soak in your sins, or wash away all traces of your vices. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab offers you the best of both worlds, the heavenly and the diabolical, in your bathing experience. Whatever your predilection may, our blend of softening and replenishing oils, with rosehip, shea, evening primrose, fractionated coconut, and vitamin E, will ensure that you experience the utmost in sublime (or fiendish!) pleasure. Paraben & formaldehyde free. No sodium lauryl or sodium laureth sulfate. VICES: GULA BATH OIL It is the just doom of laziness and gluttony to be inactive without ease and drowsy without tranquility. -- Samuel Johnson Cocoa absolute, sugar cane, honey, black currant, vanilla, and caramel. VIRTUES: FRENUM BATH OIL Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess. -- Oscar Wilde Wild lettuce, white tea, cucumber, and cherry blossom. For the holiday season, we present a series of limited run products: ++ WINTER BATH OILS ICE PRINCE BATH OIL As beautiful and cold as a December storm. Crystalline musk, winter lily, bergamot, plum, and frozen pine boughs. WINTER MAIDEN BATH OIL Ice-rimed innocence. The blush of youth, frozen for eternity. Snow-laden woods, iced blackberry and bergamot, white rose, and crystallized amber. ++ YULE SUDS In cahoots with Silk Road Trading Company. EGG NOG SOAP Sweet brandy, dark rum, heavy cream, sugar, and a dash of nutmeg. EL DIA DE REYES SOAP Hot cocoa with cinnamon, coffee, and brown sugar. LICK IT SOAP Peppermint candy cane with a flash of vanilla and an extra jolt of sugar! ROSE RED SOAP The perfected winter rose, dew covered and freshly cut. SLEET SOAP Eucalyptus, menthol, two mints, and sparkling white citrus blast you with a bracing, enlivening chill! SNOW WHITE SOAP A chilly, bright scent: flurries of virgin snow, crisp winter wind and the faintest breath of night-blooming flowers. ++ HANDMADE SATIN POUCHES Lovely handmade grey satin pouches with plum fringe and a silkscreened BPAL patch. Fully lined with plum cotton fabric. Roomy enough to carry a fistful of imps, a gaggle of perfume oil bottles, a tarot deck, and a shrunken head. Alright, a shrunken head might not fit all that well, but it's the thought that counts. ++ ++ HANDMADE SILK TOTES A gruesomely gorgeous handmade tote: luxurious plum-brown 100% silk with a hand-silkscreened center patch framed in tea-stained and maroon striped fabric and black lace, accented by black ribbon. Fully-lined with deep plum fabric. This tote has a button closure and an interior pocket. The centerpiece of the tote is a hand-silkscreened patch featuring the BPAL brimstone symbol laid on top of an 18th century engraving of a human chest cavity. Approximately 10” tall in the center, 18” wide at its widest point, with an 11” opening. The strap measures approximately 14”. Only 13 of the satin pouches have been made, and only 15 of the totes. Both of these fine bags were created by the inimitable Slipshod Sally for Black Phoenix. ++ SILVER BOTTLE TOPS Aes Ustum Symbolic of the process of cleansing, and drawing out. Each piece was hand-crafted individually, and every bottle top is unique. A glass wand dips into the oil from the inside of the bottle top, and they will fit either 5 or 10ml bottles. Twenty of these silver bottle tops have been made, and due to the time and effort expended in their construction, we regret to announce that they will never be recreated. These perfume oil bottle tops are exclusive to the Trading Post, and were created by and for Black Phoenix. They cannot be found anywhere else in all of Heaven and Earth. Each bottle top is $70.00US. More Trading Post items will be going live soon. We were hoping to have them all up at once, but due to holiday insanity and the handmade nature of our products, we have to split up the updates this season. Have a safe and joyous weekend, people!
