Traci, AKA "Madame Zelda"

This one's for Becky.... and her Madam Zelda ;-)

Once upon a time, there lived a lady in new Orleans, who was a fortune teller. Her name was Traci, but all her friends called her "Madame Zelda":


She captivated thousands of visitors to New Orleans almost every year, who found her predictions entertaining:


She loved her job, met many nice folks, and worked in the coolest places New Orleans had to offer.

When I lived in new Orleans, I worked for nearly 20 years as a contract entertainer for parties and conventions. It was the coolest job I ever had! I got to play dress up, and entertain hundreds of folks every week. I did it all... read palms, cards, crystal ball, runes.... and the party-goers would all have great stories to tell when they got back home (though I have enough interesting stories to fill a book!).

So, one could imagine how I nearly fell off my chair when I saw Becky's fortune telling doll, Madam Zelda! I have a fortune teller doll planned, but have others to make, first. Of course, I was also going to call mine Madame Zelda, but I'll wait to see what she looks like, now (though I will secretly nickname her Zelda).... ;-)
