SEATTLE

Now how did I get on to a Seattle postcard, and where did that little pooch come from?

Flaming!

It's red hot in L.A.  so I got my vintage carmine cowgirl dress on today!

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom.
July is dressed up and playing her tune.
And I come home from a hard day's work,
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world.
See the smile a-waitin' in the kitchen,
Food cookin' and the plates for two.
See the arms that reach out to hold me,
In the evening when the day is through.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine,
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine,
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

Just in case you don't know me

This is what I do for fun:

Summer Solstice!!

Yesterday I had a really lucky day at the Goodwill near Sunset and Vine. they were having a sale on dresses and I picked up this precious lil dress by Gap for $6,00. The boots are my fave vintage pair off E-bay and the belt I found at a thrift store in San Francisco last year. The earrings came free from a clothing swap and the fan I borrowed. Whole outfit probably cost under $25 :-)

I have talented friends: tree ditty

I am a Tree

I am a tree and my roots run deep

Everyone and no one lies in me

My roots are embedded deep in the soil

And I shall not fall

The Sun may scorch

Storms may blow

The earth may quake beneath my veins

But my roots are deep and I remain

I remain to see another day

hear another song

taste another rain

love another life than my own.

Enjoy the vastness of the land

Simple sunsets

A school girl swing

Carved out love

I am a tree and my roots run deep

My roots run deep and I am Me

Just a little something for a Gloomy June morning

I put together this little outfit last week. Cheap lil skirt , stolen white scarf(sorry Ryan) , and a black cardigan from the goodwill.

Sunsets lost in
Skies of hazy greys
June gloom sets in
Puts me in a daze

Friday's Inspiration

Yesterday I found this adorable little outfit on Modcloth and realized that I have just about the same thing at home! So Happy Friday and yay for my cute vintage thrift-store skirt!!
 

Australians are Strange

Our friends from down under are ever bizarre, here's one reason why..oh and for those who know me... despite my lilt.. I'm NOT Australian!!!
What is Planking?

Plans

Add caption

I'm really looking forward to this weekend, I'm building masks for  Lightning in a Bottle !! the plan is to use the same process that I used to create my Zebra mask, with sticky brown paper strips in stead of regular paper mache', it's really easy and far less messy! Cowboy and I are planning on geeking out on our stilts and becoming Egyptian Gods (Anubis and Bastet )... I'm just excited to make masks again :-)

Doo Dah Parading

This costume was featured in the LA Weekly from the Pasadena Doo Dah Parade: I had found these fabulous stripey red and white tights, and just had to go with the sailor girl theme.. note the anchor bows!

Mid-week Costuming

Last Wednesday night I was invited to perform at an event in Hollywood. So I put together this little outfit. Consisting of: Black fishnets, black boots, black booty shorts, black bra, a cream vintage camisole, brown pocket belt and my black handmade holster top. top all that off with my new ModCloth necklace and a mask I may or may not have taken from an event in San Diego and Voila.. the really fabulous thing is that I had dressed my lovely friend April in the same getup so we were matching hoopers!

Steampunk for Halloween

 So a couple years ago, My friend Rebecca and I decided to go as a couple Victorian ladies to work for Halloween. This is still one of my favorite photos. There is this fabulous red wall in the Conference Room across from my desk that is the perfect background for photos, no doubt you will see it many many times.

Talking about Steampunk (which is one of my favorite things!) check this link to see a bunch of fantastic gadgets: Oddee

Playing Dressup

Going through my Facebook photos I've noticed that there are more photos of me in costume then in regular clothes (Big Surprise )!  

So today I'm going to start posting pictures of these costumes as well as my other clothing/creative ideas. 

Hope you like them!
