fun photos I must share

 This was the last super fun photo shot with Tim Jenson. PS his mom was awesome and brought us snacks.
I love how he and the super sexy models captured my raglan knit pieces. And doesn't Olivia look great in Kombat Casalettos octo-polo? New Age Dave West is looking dapper as usual in pink, with a pink haired Angel sporting a raglan tunic with pockets (I love the stretchy oatmeal eyelet).  Lyda's lookin' sweet and sexy in a sun dress/tunic, and Casaletto himself is working a zipper T with suspenders (what a trend setter).
Tanisha looks just like a pin up girl in this red and black pic nic dress.
And for the last, the designers themselves stacked up, and Dan in his comfort zone, getting beat up by 2 women. Beth does look great delivering pain in a Kombat Casaletto zipper tank.

I'm married to this Game...

and I love my wife. The last month or so I've been thinking about my financial woes and wondering if I should give this little designing dream up. With a little soul searching and a few conversations with family and friends I mustered  the strength I needed to realize that I'm completely in love with what I do. I'm often stressed, exhausted, and really really afraid, but I want to make, change, fix, and talk to people about garments for the rest of my life. I know I'm not saving anyone and I'm certain it's not the true love story we all hear about but it really is mine. So here I continue, for better or for worse.

Lately I've been cutting the hell out of some fabric and was feeling a little intimidated by the giant pile of mangled dress and tunic parts on my sewing room floor. Making one of a kind garments is challenging in that way because I kind of work like a one-girl-factory, I have all these different colors and fabrics to worry about. But I set 'em up and knocked 'em down in the last few days and here's a taste.

I created a new raglan tunic too, I was inspired by my weekend job at the Pretty Parlor, while steaming a little pink and white 60's dress I decided to put some accent panels with curve in the tunics. The dresses are Oh so much fun to make but they are rather time consuming. Each and every one of these is one of a kind. I'm loving the colors in the sun and halter dresses, and I'm so happy to have some eyelet fabric the play with. The wolf bubble dress turned out extra special. Oh, and the plaid bubble with the bow is made from Ralph Lauren sheets. Just a fun fact.

Bethany Roberts

This is my special bloggy thank you to one of my very closest friends. A woman who bravely dares to understand.

I can ask her at a couple hours notice to MC a fashion show (she shows up happily wearing one of my pieces). She will model for me, it seems, any where and any time (even pregnant on antiquated roller skates) She will drop everything she's doing to walk with me when my hearts been broken, she'll even call to see where my car has been taken the night before her wedding. I don't always understand Beth Roberts but I've known her long enough to know that she is admirably, uniquely, and unapologetically herself. Fortunately for me she's also hot.

Love you, mean it!

Thanks to Rebecca LaGuire and Tim Jensen for the fabulous photos!
