Seasonal Changes

It's time to switch out my Spring/Summer antiques for my Fall/Winter antiques.

Freedom! '90

Summer is coming to an end and taking the sunshine with it. Luckily I live in Vegas so even with Autumn quickly approaching, I will still hold on to the hope of warm days just a little bit longer.

I am happy I got some pool time in this year even if it wasn't a lot.

I wanted to do a shoot that had a '90s supermodel look it. Sadly on the day of, my hair didn't set quite like I had hoped so I look more like a mess than a model. It was still fun none the less. While looking for 90's supermodel makeup inspiration, I was remind of George Michael's Freedom! '90 and that is where the name of the shoot came from. That song is so good!!!

Enjoy!

The Baton Bombshell

Totally Major-ette! This has to be one of my favorite pinup shoots I have done! Fun and cute! 

Many years ago I worked at a Vintage Clothing Store in Phx, AZ. The owner of the store, Heidi gave me the leotard (along with 2 others) and after all these years... I have finally put it to use!! Heidi was a wonderful woman and supporter of mine and though it has been many many years since her passing, I think of her often. I just know she would get a kick out of me showing my boobs in it too!!

A quick thank you to Tina Cione' for lending me her baton from when she was a wee thing! -with Tina Cione'.

I just love that you let me do these shoots for you!

Now That You Got It

You know I really love stripes! I might even say at this point, it's as much of a signature look for me as my red lips! I could be wrong. I just wanted to thank you for allowing me to express my creativity here...  Which is your favorite look? 1, 2, or 3?

Back in Time

In honor of one of my besties' birthday today, I wanted to post a photo from a couple of months ago. We were just about to head out to see an Aviators' Baseball Game here in Las Vegas. It was 80's night so we decided to do the theme in a very "daily" way. We were a bit surprised that BARELY anyone was dressed and the few that did, dressed in Party City Does the 80's or just neon. Which, we weren't hating on at all! We were happy anyone dressed up, just surprised by the lack of it especially since many, if not most, of the attendees were teenagers (or older) in the 80s and know the look well!

My t-shirt is actual vintage 1980s and I stole it from my sister's closet probably 30 years ago (in the 90s!) Vintage Diet Rite! Do we all remember that pop?

Everything else is new, but still very 80s inspired. Her Frankie Says Relax t-shirt, our retro track shorts, and my jellies. She opted for the sprayed bangs and I went with a more early 80s college girl hairstyle. Which in the movies means I either would have been killed at camp or accidentally showed my boobs to some nerds!

She just bought the shortly before this evening, a Pontiac Firebird and it is from 1991, I think. Something about the early 90s' Firebird models were exactly the same as the ones in the 80s, but these were convertible. Close enough.

Thanks for reading and... 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINA CIONE'!!!!!
