Rouge Awakening #11 – Chrysanthemum
I need a bit of Red today. How ’bout you? What a lovely red chrysanthemum!
With a history that dates back to 15th century B.C., chrysanthemum mythology is filled with a multitude of stories and symbolism. Chrysanthemums symbolize optimism and joy. A symbol of the sun, the Japanese consider the orderly unfolding of the chrysanthemum’s petals to represent perfection, and Confucius once suggested they be used as an object of meditation. It’s said that a single petal of this celebrated flower placed at the bottom of a wine glass will encourage a long and healthy life.
It was time for a Rouge Awakening. Continue Reading

Rouge Awakening #8 – Robe Rouge
I’ve had Paris on the brain lately, what with The Moment’s announcement of Jewish real estate mogul Alfred Akirov’s purchase and planned renovation of the storied Hôtel Lutetia (where I spent my birthday the last time I was in Paris), Amy Thomas’ article in this Sunday’s Times Travel Section about her impressions of a “real” Paris gleaned from her experience living her Parisian dream, and the fact that I have literally been dreaming about Paris for weeks. This morning, eking out the last of my precious store of Robe Rouge, my decision was made – it’s time to go to Paris. To stock up on tea if nothing else. Continue Reading
Rouge Awakening #7 – Girl Crush, Mandy Coon
The Moment spotlighted designer Mandy Coon recently for a little side project she’s working on called the Fashion in Film – Designer Inspiration Series. It seems that Mandy is co-hosting the first evening of the three-part collaborative event, organized by Kelly Virtue.
I just like her red pixie.
Rouge Awakening #6 – Dreaming of a Studio
Since I moved from a two-bedroom to a one-bedroom apartment I’ve been without a home office. When I had an office office that didn’t seem to matter as much, but now that I’m back to working at home and am trying to spend more time writing, I miss having a dedicated space to work, with my cinema screen set up and plenty of room to spread out. I’m sure that with some input from one of my friends a bit more interior-design minded than I am I’ll be able create that space here in my, well, space. In the mean time, I’m dreaming of a studio.

Rouge Awakening #5 and Other Monday Mish-Mash
I awoke to a particularly chilly – albeit bright and sunny – morning and this put me in mind of scarves and cashmere and other comfy things. It is September now and Autumn will be here before we know it. Mornings like today are little pokes to say get ready for it. I also thought it was time for a bit of red, so I went off in search of a nice image of a red scarf to be today’s Rouge Awakening. Continue Reading
My name is Angela Eloise and I am a freelance writer. I recently moved to Seattle because I wanted a better home base to support my creative goals. And my shaman told me to. Cloud of Chaos was born from my desire to dance with the absurdity of life, to create a space where I could write and share all of the gorgeous, fun, snarky deliciousness I find spinning around me every day. What does a spinning cloud of chaos have to do with writing? Everything, as it turns out.
