Since the cold, rainy weather and my lack of spare time have prevented me from taking any photos lately, I've been living vicariously through my flickr photostream. I find it interesting to look back and see what I've accomplished in a year. You know, goals met, goals forgotten, all those dreams you were gonna make real.

In the fall of '08 I was gung ho about opening a vintage shop. I did a whole lot of buying with constant trips to the Goodwill and Salvation Army here in town. I had this vision where all I wanted to do was style and coordinate editorial type photoshoots with my pretty girlfriends as the models and my talented gay friends as the photographers. For one time and one time only, my vision took form. 4 models, 2 photographers, 1 makeup artist, and me, the stylist. Oh, what a fun day we had.

I had everything so organized. Looks were styled per girl with very close attention to who was wearing what shoes and necklace at what time to make sure nothing interfered. There was a dress rack for the clothes and a pop up tent for changing. We made sure to make it a big 'ta do'.

Here are some of my favorites:








Betsey Johnson dress (looooove)





I was so proud of this pocket. I made it from the hem of the dress using the stripes!








Oh, I miss it.
Perhaps I should do something similar soon. What ya think? Lord knows I got plenty of clothes still hanging on the dress rack ready to go somewhere.

So amazing! You should totally do more if you can! I have to admit, I really wanted to do something like this. But on a lower scale. There would have been no pop up tent or makeup artist. But alas, all my friends were too tiny and the clothes just swallowed them up!

Amazing photoshoot! I esp. love the dress with the gold accents and black ruffled skirt.

Hope it becomes a dream realised in the near future. ^_^

They're wonderful. I thought at first that they were pulled from an editorial. If you want to, you should start that etsy shop.
