Prototype Vintage Design, New Bohemia, and Buffalo Exchange are gearing up for the annual FASHION FREAKOUT.
If you’ve ever wanted to encourage that little vintage kitten to come out and play, the time is now. Taking a cue from the glory days of yesteryear, these three boutique staples will transform fantasy into reality on Friday, February 5th at the Mohawk. Rock and roll Austin lives on for this magical night. This event will sell out.

Two weeks after Stephen contacted me The Soldier Thread took their places for a final dress rehearsal.

It all happened so quickly. Stephen, from Surefire Media & Promotion contacted me and asked to lend a fashionable voice to The Soldier Thread for their upcoming show at Stubb’s. Yowza! I haven’t worked on a job like this since tagging along with the main stylist for Mya’s Lock U Down video back in LA(-la Land). Of course I said yes!
Saying that The Soldier Thread is evocative is an understatement. There’s something that just pulls you in and makes you feel. Words like haunting, climaxing, driving, gorgeous, eruption, airy, epic motion and progress are just a few of the words used to describe this group. Between the words and the sound, an ocean storm just seemed like a perfect point of inspiration. Can you imagine yourself there? Feeling the ocean breeze circle around your ankles? The back of your neck?
To me that is The Soldier Thread. And I give you my source of inspiration.
I love you.
You know I love you because I rarely post on Saturday. More pictures of the Soldier Thread coming soon.
It’s going to be a glorious weekend. Action packed and nonstop. Let’s dig in.
Ahem, this Thursday. Free and Dirty 30 birthday party with Ms. Wee Bee and DJ Henry Chow. Meow. DJ Daniel Allen, also kicking it for the evening, makes this party the hottest on the block. If you like to shake, rattle and occasionally get knocked over by reverb, head on down to Plush. 7th and Red River. Leave your pretty clothes at home.
Also, I am going to band practice tomorrow.
Why, you ask? Well, because I’m styling local band The Soldier Thread and we’re having our dress rehearsal. Heck yea! Remember that project that kept reminding me of peacocks and storms? Well, this is it! The Soldier Thread is playing their 2nd album release this Friday, the 29th at Stubb’s. They are all total dolls and it’s been kickass working with them. I’m attaching their poster in this post, but be on the look out for the hot outfits and updated news about the show.
This Saturday, no big deal. Just LE freaking GARAGE. Okay, that’s just the skinny on the happs from last year. The real Le Garage January 2010 details are linked. $10 bucks, wear pretty undergarments, Palmer Events Center. Love, love, love this event. Go. It’s received the most press I have ever seen this past year. The deals are going to fly off the shelf. *DO NOT LEAVE ANY ITEM THAT YOU WOULD PINCH YOURSELF FOR LEAVING FOR ONE MOMENT. DO NOT LET GO. I’m telling you. Tragic lost Jake Spade tote within 7 minutes from last year. Hurts to think about really. Let’s move on . . .
Save some energy for the ROCK N’ SWAP – Rock and roll, a little cocktail and and arsenal of clothing never hurt anyone. Join in on the fun and know the the leftovers are headed to a good cause. Head over to the Austin minx that is Tolly, The Austin Eavesdropper. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure is the biggest understatement when it comes to swaps. Pay it forward.
Hoping to catch some pictures during this wild ride.
con abrazos,

Maybe you did know and maybe you didn’t.
I’ve always had a secret desire to be a photographer. It started when my father started taking me on his adventures. My excitement would be brimming as he brought out his Nikon and blue Jansport that carried all his gear. We would go out on hikes or visit the animals at the zoo. He would go on and on talking to me about what he was doing, I would nod my head pretending to know what he was talking about. I would stare in awe as he carefully changed to shoot with his telephoto lens. Pretty soon I was bringing my own camera – the old rectangular model that used 110 film.
My camera obsession has never really died down. I’m still working on getting lessons to develop my own film in my tub. I’ve recently acquired a DSLR and I’m loving it. Feels good to have a camera in hand. To shoot, upload and almost instantly stare at the afternoon’s happenings. I’m shooting everything. I decided to get creative in showing my new shoes with a styled photo session. Hope you enjoy.

HUGE SALES ALL OVER AUSTIN before Le Garage. If you’re smart, you’ll get that hot little butt over to the local stores – things are moving out the door rather quickly.
