Ab Fab!

Towards the end of the summer I had been asked by mua Brittany Diaz to be on set for a shoot with British photographer, Jon Russell Green.

We had done two days of shooting - the first was kind of crazy, but these really fun laundromat explosion images came from it. Our model for this set was Lauren, who is absolutely gorgeous!

The second day, we shot at a bubble tea shop called Something Sweet and I overdosed on bubble tea and cupcakes. Our models on day two were Heather Ann and BlackLite Bonnie. So great working with these girls.

The models looked so sweet and cute in the shop and then we edged them out for outside shots. What's awesome is the flag mural we shot against was seen in one episode of VH1's Big Ang when they took aeial shots of Staten Island. We kept joking how they should channel the ladies of 'Ab Fab.'

Here's some of the photos from this shoot and I have more on the website. All clothing is Sibyl Vain. Yay!

Happy New Year! So many incredible things to kick off things and let's start with spotting a Sibyl Vain leotard on Miss Mischief as shot by Kev Cool in the new issue of Riot Vixen Magazine.

Latte Diaries #2

December is almost over and the holidays are upon us! I'm excited to go home and while 'home' is a half hour away, I haven't been in about two weeks and it's nice to have other people in the house.

November sucked and just when I thought Decemeber was going to turn around...life decided to mess with me. Was totally screwed over on something and that only made everything else in my life that much more frustrating. And just when I thought things couldn't be worse - stomach bug hit.

But as is my life - when really bad things hit, really good always follows to help ease the pain. Was asked to lend out clothing for two insane shoots, both for submissions and hopefully you'll be able to see my designs in print modeled by amazing models and the one photographer is a pretty big deal - don't know if I can say much.

Hopefully within the week I'll be making an event announcement! It sounds like it'll be a sick time and I'll have new designs...animal prints...battling drag queens...I'm stoked.

It's funny how I was out and super busy everyday last week that last night, when faced with nothing to do, I was going nuts! You would think I would be tired and happy to do nothing and chill, but I can never sit still. Back to work today and time to get a project settled - b/c there's a million things to do and like no time. Story of my life.

December Latte Diaries #1

I have been an eggnog chai fiend! Last week, I was the costumer for this amazing off-Broadway production of the Identity Theater Company, 'The Boys Next Door,' which ran at The Drilling Company Theater in NYC. It was SO much fun and the actors involved are just absolutely amazing. So amazing that the play is extended for four more shows December 12th - 15th!

There's been a lot going on and I'm trying to regroup and rebrand. On the non-fashion side of my life, November felt like it killed my social life and I just couldn't win. I read there was a Mercury retrograde last month and like to blame my frustrations on that. I'm looking forward to the holiday season and New Year to bring me back closer with friends and family.

A new restaurant I got to try was DBGB Kitchen & Bar down in the Bowery. I got this amazing omelette and hash browns and a French bellini. SO good. My friend and I are planning to go back. Their entire menu looks amazing, but I just want all the brunch items.

I'm trying to get new clothing pieces made and I've been working on a project for a music video, which I'm so stoked on what's been made so far. But I can't reveal just yet! Still have photos to post on here - but there are photoshoot images on my Facebook, so check it out.

And finally...don't forget - Sunday, December 9th, 10am - 5pm in Philadelphia. Check out www.r5productions.com for more info. I'll be selling things super cheap. Come say hi!

Holiday Latte Diaries - 2012

Last year I did this 'Chegg Diaries' and it worked out pretty well in keeping me updating this blog. What's 'Chegg' you ask? It's the marking for an eggnog chai latte at Starbucks, which I was seriously drinking like three a week, then take a picture of the cup and talk about all that's been going on.

While they're looking to have eggnog hopefully within the next two weeks, I got a Creme Brulee latte last night before class. So let's reflect on the past, well two months.

The biggest change is moving to a new apartment and now having a workspace where I can have clothing everywhere and no one to tell me I'm making a mess. So yay!

Did an amazing photoshoot with Jon Russell Green Photography, models Bonnie BlackLite and Heather Ann, and with Brittany Diaz making everyone gorgeous! Plus new images from Miss Mischief rocking Sibyl Vain - she is FLAWLESS!

Will make blog posts of those images. So look out for that. I'm also working on two projects this month. One is an off-Broadway play and I'm doing costume design. The other, I have to keep those designs under lock and key for now.

One thing I can say...DECEMBER 9th!!! 10am - 5pm down in Philadelphia, I'll be at the Holiday Edition of the Philly Punk Rock Flea Market. Me and my sister will both be selling handmade awesomeness. Hope to see you there!

Sugar & Spikes Drop Dead Gorgeous Fashion Show

Did you join us for this event? You missed one hell of a night if you weren't out.

I can't believe this happened a month ago. It was a great event as always by the Sugar & Spikes ladies and I had the best models rock a lot of new designs.

Here's a clip of the night, showing off all that went down. From burlesque, magic and two other amazing designers. Can you spot me?



And for some of my favorite images of the night (photo cred: Karina Antigua - Ely Kay). For more info, photos or just want to find out more on the clothing and gorgeous ladies, check out my Fanpage.
