I’m uber excited about the release of Disney’s film “Maleficient” coming up next month. Was even more jazzed when I stumbled on an interesting article over on Salon.com regarding the link between the 1950s Vampira actress and Disney’s villain Maleficent. The Salon piece was written by documentary filmmaker R. H. Greene who wrote and directed “Vampira […]
Pictures of Alice in Wonderland-esque Glass Plant Display at Bell Street Park Opening
Today was a fun day over on Bell Street in Seattle. The city dedicated a new park to the Belltown community. To celebrate, vendors filled the street. Lawn games, jugglers, Chinese dragons, a band, and food trucks were among the many highlights of the festivities. As I walked along Bell Street between Second and Third, […]
Friday Dress Fix: 1980s Drop Waist
Okay, guys, how lovely-awesome is this 1980s drop waist dress? I sooooo want it and it would go perfect with a pair of pink heels. The drop waists were popular in the ’80s and early ’90s. I actually remember having a couple of them and wearing them both out quickly. Wish I could’ve nabbed this […]
A ‘Jem and the Holograms’ (LPD) Little Pink Dress
Jem from the ’80s animated TV series “Jem and the Holograms” is definitely one of my main sources of fashion inspiration. And if it’s one thing that was a staple of Jem’s wardrobe, it was an LPD (little pink dress). It’s also no secret that I love going to thrift stores to pop some tags every […]
‘The Goonies’ Invasion
March and April are turning out to be too good to be true as far as ’80s reboots and nods. First, the very ’80s awesome ABC comedy series “The Goldbergs” had a “Goonies” tribute. If you haven’t seen “The Goldbergs” yet, you should check it out. It’s like “The Wonder Years” but with an extra […]
Tulips at Pike Place Market
Had a nice excursion down to Pike Place Market yesterday. The weather was a lovely 72 degrees and the tulips were in full bloom. Many a gentleman was seen picking assorted flower stems from white buckets for that special person in their life. I couldn’t help but snap some pictures. The petals were so rich in […]
Springtime in the Rockies
I took a trip out to western Montana last month and shot this photo right before a snowstorm hit. The weather is very changeable during the springtime in the Rockies. Sometimes 0-60 degrees in a matter of days. 😉 Well…maybe not that bad. But close! After I finished taking snapshots, I immediately rushed back to […]
‘Seeing Red’ Reviewed by Georgia Peach Award Committee Member
Was very honored to see a five star review written for my novella “Seeing Red!” The praise came from Georgia Peach Award committee member Melanie C. Duncan. “Seeing Red” was not nominated for the Georgia Peach Award (GPA) but it is extremely honoring to be read and reviewed by a committee member. For those who aren’t familiar, the […]
Oh, Those Lovely 1950s Dresses: Friday Dress Fix
It’s time to talk about 1950s dresses. If you didn’t already know, I’m dress obsessed. My absolute favorite era for gowns is the 1950s and early ’60s. To me, this period truly is the epitome of the best cocktail and party dresses. Dior. Lilli Diamond. Edith Head. I love them all and those talented designers […]
‘Jem and the Holograms’ Movie Reboot!
Outrageous! I may have screamed for joy last week when I found out that there’s going to be a live action reboot of “Jem and the Holograms.” For those who aren’t familiar with the show, it was a popular ’80s cartoon series about the very fashion-fabulous Jerrica Benton. The premise of the series revolves around […]
A Gévaudanian Werewolf in Paris: The Mystery of the Beast of Gévaudan
The year is 1767. The place is the Gévaudan province of France. For three bloody years an unidentified man-eating beast terrorized the southern French countryside and was know simply as the Beast of Gévaudan. Tragic and horrific? Yes. But something I considered to be the perfect backdrop for my YA “Scarlette” as it is a […]
How ‘Mad Men’ Popped my Idyllic Bubble: Truths About Being Female in a 1960s World
In 2009, I was struggling with a prompt I’d been given in a writers’ class. I needed to write a scene in which a woman rejected a very persistent man who’d asked her on a date. I began with a guy trying to ask out a coworker. He knows she has a boyfriend, but thinks […]
