I met Petra Szilagyi one afternoon inside of the English Building Market in a work related meeting. At the time we both were assisting Melissa Gonzales of Vintanthromodern Vintage. Petra was knee deep in vintage clothing and accessories while designing a 1920's window display. I instantly liked her when she cheered upon hearing about the drag queen patrons who were buying up some...
This year I added a new product to my small accessory business. I decided to start making wearable angel wings. And the results have been nothing but positive. For Halloween I received a slew of custom orders and have already started taking custom orders for Christmas. Believe me when I say I have been a busy girl this month! So busy in fact...

Most movie rentals were free, patrons frequently asked for our opinions on flicks - some actually excited to hear our reviews, and if you worked there long enough you got...
This was the harder part to do. Jen was great as the Happy Go Lucky Angel in Heaven. She did some very graceful poses and it was obvious she had practiced for the shoot. But next up was being the Earth Bound Angel. This required her to be sullen, lonely, look rather tragic. The concept was inspired by David Bowie's The Man Who...
