Here's Looking Like You, Irma

The photo shoot I did with EMILY SVEC and highlighted below was initially inspired by a post on a blog I read, HERE'S LOOKING LIKE YOU, KID. She had posted about SHIRLEY MACLAINE'S saucy french "working girl" looks in the film IRMA LA DOUCE (which I have yet to see, its on the list!) and I loved these images so much they inspired the look I started Emily off with during our photo shoot!

More shots on the website, click pics to see! Thanks Jaynie, Emily & Shirley!

The Art of Fashion.....Dorothea's Vintage Lingerie Fashion Show Video!

At rockiowa dot com, or HERE. I can't figure out how to grab the code to show it here so just check out the video there and dig the rest of the site too! Cool stuff, cool music (though my lingerie segment to the song "Boobs" by Ruth Wallis worked a little better). And now you get to see the pillow fight! Thanks rockiowa!
