Who is 
LADY DELANEY?  

 

What little is known will stand as cautionary tale. At the University of Michigan, the Lady failed to distinguish herself, her middling record setting the stage for a forgettable scholarship and subsequent art-drop-out-ship at two prestigious MFA programs. Though she is unremembered in the hallowed halls of these institutions, her portrait still hangs in nearby McSorley's Tavern. 

In 2009, she began sculpting full-scale rubbish into one-inch scale wonders. Despite her attempts to remain unruly, her work has caught the attention of publishers, curators, and window dresserers, with her creations infiltrating FAO Schwarz, international private collections, the National Building Museum in DC, as well as solo exhibitions and numerous national publications.

 

In 2017, her DIY book, All Dolled Up, was a #1 New Release on Amazon. Her freelance career includes stints collaborating with Anthropologie, the Edward Gorey House, Tiffany & Co., Monique Lhuillier, and ELLE wild woman, E. Jean Carroll. Somewhere in the whirlwind, she spent three summers chasing bears, horses, and cowboys at Cherokee Park Ranch. The consequence of this being that most of her tales begin with,‘Once, at the dude ranch...”

 Though she enjoys a good wander---accompanied by her bow-tie wearing cats---New Orleans has claimed this miscreant as its own. There she paces midnight halls of a Garden District mansion, subdivided into seedy dwellings for the seedier bohemian class. In its spacious parlors she collaborates with kindred oddballs, devising new ways of getting old stories into people's hearts. She remains doomed by hardheadedness to a life of doing whatever she pleases whenever and howsoever she pleases to do it. She also solves the occasional mystery, releasing the case files for public perusal here.

​Lady Delaney communicates with the world via her handler, Lauren, who happens to share many of these biographical details.

 

Catch one, or the other, on Khaby is Coming to America, where she narrowly escapes international infamy after setting the TikTok superstar ablaze, in a ghost-infested mansion.

The 
LIVAUDAIS SALON 

 

We're still not sure that it exists. But if it does, then it's almost certainly none of your business.

Then again, it may be your business, if you are a particular kind of oddball. One with a talent for solving mysteries, or ghost hunting, or collecting treasures dropped from Instagram into out-of-the-way parts.

If the highly secretive LS does exist, we are told that it is comprised of oddballs just such as these.

And that it is always looking for new members.
