En Gypsy Couture 013: last Days of Summer

The summer started with magic and mayhem, trips to Coney Island, veve paintings, tarot, Battleship Cove, Blood and Pudding's release, road trips, and interviews.  It also brought many wonderful guests into my home.  Lonesome Liz spent a few days in the caravan, and both Kim Boekbinder and Gabby Young were in town at the same time.  I also switched gears when my new housemate Miss Bella Berlin moved in.  The bohemian household just got better.  A few days ago Bella and I put out the lights in the backyard and glittered up the ground.  We were having a party to say goodbye to summer, welcome the full moon, and bring together some of the most brilliant people we knew. We thought the best way to do this was to put out the holiday decorations, christmas lights, glitter snowflakes, and skulls, and bohemian candle lanterns.  That's how we roll.

Me right after Kim Boekbinder's show at Rockwood Music Hall.  I had just gotten home and was quite pleased with the outfit.

The Christmas lights dance in the moonlight.

As do the glitter snowflakes of summer.  Because no backyard is complete without them.

The Tibetan flags blowing in the night breeze.

And no summer evening should be without paper peacocks.

I hope you all enjoyed your summer.

Killin' It 038: Dollys for the Troops

Dollys for the Troops

Our Mission: Send 1,000 decks of cards to the troops overseas.

My new roommate, the fabulous Bella Berlin came up with this idea back in Nov.  Since then we've been gathering pin-ups, getting them dolled up, and photographed by Bombshell Mandy.  The sets keep rolling in and Bella and I are starting our mission of designing, printing, and packaging the cards.  Once we get the prototype pack, we'll be on our way of sending pin-up kittens to the boys overseas.  But we'll need your help.  In just a few months we'll have the girls all photographed, and design down, we'll need your help raising money for printing and spreading the word.  Here are a few of the behind the scenes shots with me and miss Berlin, as well as a mockup of the card.

Check out the site and see the awesome work Bella has done so far.
