7DS Wrath - Riding Hood and BBW

 I had fun with this one!  Extra bonus plus plus because that fur wolf jacket fits me!  (Although maybe it might look a little bit different on the 6 ft male model that is skinnier than I am...)  I love the photo story here that just happened to work itself out.  Notice how they are fighting and then Red "skins" the wolf at the end?

Reggae Pants and Leather Micro Jacket and a huge surprise

This is my assistant, Jessia, who very often I truly think I learn as much from her as she does from me.  I think she is a gorgeous girl and also does a great job modeling for me.  Especially because she fits into all my sample sizes and isn't afraid of wearing things that are odd and unusual, like this super-flared pair of pants with a pocket on the outside and faux leather micro-micro jacket with fur trim.

BONUS>>>>>

My friend, Shawn, who is a headdress designer who used to work under Bob Mackie, was clearing out his studio space and gave me a ton of trim and material.  Among the findings was the fur I used in this jacket.  I asked him recently if this fur was from Mackie. 

He answered, "Actually, I think it's from Cher..."

IT'S FROM CHER....
 It's from freakin' CHER...

My Simka Dress in the Desert Sands

Cindy, it's Totally German Vogue!

I have to admit that when I made this outfit, I thought it was a little... odd.  And I was kind of afraid to put it on my model because I was SURE she was going to do something like smile politely while plotting my demise inside her head for making her wear something so ridiculous.

Well, sometimes a risk pays off because Cassidy rocked this odd little German number like she was in the pages of German Vogue!

Update:  Cassidy actually made it into Italian Vogue online!  This is a HUGE deal for a model.  Congratulations, Cass!!

Where is the TV inspiration, do you ask?  Remember the epsiode of the Brady Bunch in which Cindy was convinced that she was going to be the next Shirley Temple and dressed up as "Heidi?"  Well, there you go.

Roper Redux!

Remember this Mrs. Roper inspired swimsuit cover-up?  I recently provided this as a wardrobe piece at a photo shoot, with the model wearing jeans.  I think it works quite nicely!

The Storybook Stole

I made this little faux rabbit fur stole for Saija's wedding (she's the model in the picture) to cover a tattoo on her shoulder that her wedding dress didn't hide.
It was so envied by the guests at the wedding that she has worn it out and about with many different outfits (jeans, dresses, etc) and women always ask her where she bought it!  So she convinced me to sell these online in this fabric as well as other faux furs that I have tucked away!  They are so easy to make and I hope I sell a lot of these this fall and winter!

Say Your Prayers, it's The Flying - Kimono!

To celebrate my love for all things Japanese, I made your classic nun's habit into a very scandalous kimono dress.  I used every yard of this cream crepe-back satin and vintage orange asian print bridal satin (with a very small scrap of a lace table runner from the 70's!)  to create an artistic corseted bodice and flying skirt.
