here’s to the lady who launched

cieca_launch

La Cieca is proud to relaunch a completely overhauled parterre.com, previously seen in fragments, dribs and drabs, but now here to stay. The new look features a return to the (now) retro punky aesthetic of the early ’90s zine, updated fonts and all sorts of other improvements intended to enhance your reading and commenting pleasure.

Designer of the new parterre look is that Cardin of the CSS Nicholas Scholl, formerly of Trrill and currently busily tweeting from (at?) twitter.com/trrill. He is also a member of the team at Patent Leather Daddy.

Your doyenne welcomes your reactions to the new look.

    Congrats, La Cieca, on a lovely and not too extreme yet tasteful Home Makeover.

    Will the re-model eventually house such lost treasures of Filth and Dementia, as Mari Lyn’s reading of Violetta’s letter? Or Elinor Ross’ and her cockadoodle-doo-doo of Non Mi Dir? Or Eleaner Steber’s dizzying Italian Street Song? The subtle yet witty bobblehead GIF animation of Jessye Norman?

    Please please please!

    La Cieca, mon vieux, you look more lovely than Mme. Flambe!!!

    The Mister sez, and to paraphrase “Master Class” —

    ‘You’ve GOT a Look!!!”

    I’ll be short and to the point:

    Fucking Fabulous!

    Cara Cieca, it looks divine. I’m so happy for you and for all of us. It is clean, eminently readable, and has a certain chic.

    And the gentleman courting you in the photo above is my idea of a design improvement, as well.

    What a wonderful surprise to log in this morning and find this stunning new look–as sharp and bright as La Cieca herself. This look has a real profile.

    EXCELLENT!

    Readable, upmarket, yet with the uniqueness that defines Parterre.

    Never thought of the Sydney opera as a hat tho!

    BTW…retreiving a new password from wordpress is annoying and not for the impatient and faint of heart.

    My fauxmance is back! Oh, my Ruxton, my own!!!!!!

    It’s really to adjust the size of the font with Windows (hold down the ctrl key and use the scroll button on the mouse to adjust the size).

    I lovelovelove the new site. And I especially appreciate the search engine, because now I can look up specific threads without have to go through page after page of older entries.

    Ah, Dean Jones…. he could’ve held me too close, and sat in my chair and made me aware of being alive.

    Hi La Cieca!
    Going from the boudoir stile to a BDSM pedantic style might reflect your present infatuation, but for me it is a chock. As a queen myself, I like it (trill)very much, but is it really you? I guess it is, I only know you from your absolute fab conducting of this free speach site (with far too many people repeating their war horses over and over again, but that is what free speach is about. I have learnt to dismiss some of those soprano followers ranting (idiom?) over top notes)
    from an almost everyday follower from Sweden (eurocentric in likings, but still, NYC is my capital of the world)

    Thank you Sweet Sanford- my treasure, my pet- you have solved my problem (not Harry). Blessings be upon you!

    I miss the black matte backgrounds and the commentaries that seemed to glow from within an inner heart of blind mystic darkness, lit by the supernal, to the sound of … well, whomever you liked.

  • 22
    Sanford says:

    To the sound of the only opera ever in the history of opera (or the last 12 months, whichever he knows more about) written about an opera singer! Because dead is the new 50… and white backgrounds are the new black backgrounds

    I’m not sure when this changed, but I only just noticed that everyone here has stopped whingeing, squeaking, twittering etc. — never thought I’d say this, but I miss it a little. Seriously, though, why are all the pages so short? There’s too much clicking involved, and unless one comes here ten times a day (well, sometimes I do), one will end up missing items and stuff. Bring back the long legato line.
