Thanks!

Big thanks to everyone for making last night such a warm, super fun party….With special thanks to the incomparable beauty, Lady Arwen. Nobody, and I mean zero body, could work that Raeburn Ink shirt like you, girl.

Happy Birthday Megs!

Today we celebrate my wonderful friend Meg Renik.
Meg and I have been crazing around together for quite some time. Eons ago my papa and her mama where an item. On family visits we were play pals, but in our teens we lost touch. As fate would have it, I connected with this awesome lady at [...]

Sexy Salsa Mama

This smokin’ hot mama is getting it done at 80 years of age, death dips and all. So inspiring.

Nice vintage shots, huh. And niiiiiice sporty beret.

Everyone, Archive!

We all spend too much time sitting and looking at computers. We know this takes us away from our precious thrift store scrounging and flea market finessing. We know it is a pity.
On the up side, there are people out there recording their design finds with gusto, which we share, and precision, which we admire. [...]
