Tokyo Girls at the Phoenix Comicon

The Tokyo Girls performance this weekend was a complete success--our practice and dedication really paid off! So far, I have only received a couple of pictures from the shows this weekend. This one was taken by my good friend Garry Wilmore, who attended the Saturday performance. You can't see my whole outfit, but I wore a fab reproduction sailor outfit made by Allure Originals, along with a "dixie cup" sailor hat that belonged to my uncle's son. I'll be sure to post more photos as soon as I can!

She Wears a Pair of Silver Wings

For my second outfit on Sunday, I wore an amazing WWII midriff nightie set and robe made from parachute silk. Matilda's Vintage Closet graciously loaned it to me for the shoot, and I think it was perfect given the aviation theme! I wish I had this wonderful piece in my collection, but it belongs to the shop museum :-)

The Ann Darrow Takes Flight

At the Commemorative Air Force Museum! I had a fantastic photo shoot with Doug Monce of Atomic Age Pictures--we shot five outfits in five hours, with three planes and a jeep! This series was taken in Able Grable's divine Ann Darrow frock--ain't she sweet?

Fashion Spot

I was quite surprised to find a photo of my Sweetie and I in the May issue of Java Magazine! The pic was snapped at the Scottsdale Culinary Festival--I'm wearing a muslin peasant blouse made from a 1940s pattern, a 1940s-50s Southwestern print skirt, a 1950s tooled belt, and matching tooled wedges.

Latest Finds

Because a girl can never have too many Bakelite cherries!

And since the hot weather makes me want to dress in tropical attire, I just couldn't say no to this 1940s jersey frock in a splashy pink and red anthurium print.


So, tell me about your latest finds!

Tokyo Girls

I thought I'd share this video from the Tokyo Girls' performance at the Matsuri Festival. The video was shot by Luis Luna and edited by Mark Zemnick.

Our next performance at the Phoenix Comicon is fast approaching! We've all been working hard--I've even been working on a whole new act for this show--hope you can make it!
