Vintage Finds
Sisters of the Black Moon
So I stumbled onto amazing photos of Sisters of the Black Moon and I had to see what they were about. These 3 ladies have amazing style and most importantly they share their vintage finds! Check out their goods they have at their online Vintage Store.
As you can see they are very photogenic, and they have this real laid back effortless vibe and style going on. Most of their photos are shot by their two amazing photographer friends, Briana Purser & Alexandra.
As a photographer I understand how you like to surround yourself with inspiring images so if you want to see what intrigues Sara, check out the photos on her tumblr blog. I will try to get Sara to model for me one day! She is a natural beauty, ummm take a look for yourself. Here’s a short q & a I did with her.
When I was a child I wanted to be an artist, a dancer, a saxaphone player, an actress, a fisherman, an anesthesiologist, a teacher, a country singer and a chef.
The moment that changed me forever hitting the open road
My greatest inspiration i’m surrounded by inspiration every day so its hard to pinpoint, but I can tell you a few things… my sisters(they all know who they are) who make this life easier and give me hope for this world. my man(Jonatan Larocca-Ramm) because he knows what it means to really love a woman. and all those offbeat soul children of this world who want change and aren’t afraid to stand up for it.
If I could change one thing about myself I’d like for the constant headspins to stop every now and then(but, only now and then because those moments of madness can create magic).
What I see when i look in the mirror a southern girl from the swamps of Louisiana
My style icon Ms. Nicks’ fancy threads have always caught my eye.
My favorite item of clothing well, i just received them in the mail 2 days ago from an amazing woman named jane on etsy(http://www.etsy.com/shop/onceovertwice). thanks to molly for the hint;) They are my dream crochet bell bottoms(see attached photo). But my old roomate and best friend Krystal would say that this changes weekly.
I wish I’d never worn Not too regretful of my past fashion adventures. It may be considered “bad” now, but man, I’m sure I probably thought it was somethin’ special then.
You wouldn’t know it but i am very good at rapping(dirty south what what)
You may not know it but i am no good at letting go of a grudge(but i am working really hard on that). my sun is in scorpio
All my money goes to my ever-growing collection of vintage jewelry. i will probably do this till the day i die.
If I have time to myself I would go stay in a cabin outside of town; wake up really early to drink coffee, watch the sunrise and listen to my man play the blues.
I drive I sold my car to move to Sweden to live with my husband and I am back in the states waiting for my visa/residence permit to get back so for now this lady is wheeless.
My house/flat Is a cozy little apartment in Gothenburg, Sweden
My most valuable possesion is my grandmothers beautiful vintage acoustic guild guitar.
A book that changed me Ishmael
My favorite work of art first one that comes to mind is the garden of earthly delights by Hieronymus Bosch. it could hypnotize me for hours.
The last album I bought was Emmylou Harris Blue Kentucky Girl
The shop i can’t walk past retropolis in houston(its a picker/diggers dream)
In ten years time i hope to be on the side of a mountain living off the land with my family, horses and chickens
My greatest regret I think it has all worked out the way it should have
My secret indulgence steel magnolias(i cry every single time)

More Kimonos
I love kimono’s, it’s a relaxed comfy look to wear in house and out. I’m selling a few of my Kimono Jackets on Etsy, the last 4 pics are the kimonos that are up for grabs if you want mine. I’m selling them for great prices.
Here are some great ways to pull it off. More pics here on my last post.
Vegas shopping
I recently went to Vegas and got to do some window shopping and purchased a few good items. You must check out Annie Creamcheese . They sell designer vintage and other very unique items. Their store is in the Palazzo. Great friendly staff. I bought a vintage Pucci skirt for my mom and a feather thingy you can adapt to your belts, purse etc. Lately I’ve been rocking my fox tail with it and have received a lot of compliments. If you want a fox tail let me know. I can def get one for you for a good price.
While shopping with my husband (what a good sport) we bumped into Ms. Holly Madison ex gf of Hugh Hefner. She was nice to take a picture with me. =P I thought she was very beautiful in person.
Another cute store is Betty Paige Clothing they carry very sexy pencil skirts and retro items. I bought me a lil something there as well.
When I travel to places that have Agent Provocateur you better bet I drop in. (Toronto and Texas you must open a store!!) Vegas has a lil one, so I stopped in and my husband bought me goodies. I LOVE this bodysuit, I will be wearing pants when I wear mine but Christina looks great in it. It’s for dirt cheap right now too…go get yours!
Oh and I met Cleopatra and her bodyguards 
Here I am. Finally got to wear my shoes!! They hurt, but they look so good.
My Photography
- Model: Michelle
- Camera: Nikon D1X
- Dress: vintage $20…I saw it while driving immediatly pulled to the right on Front Street and ran out while raining and snatched it. It had damages, but was perfect for a shoot. (drive by shopping I’m THAT good)
Nasty Girl Vintage
http://www.shopnastygal.com This Norma Kamali dress is very hot. Something I would wear if I was in my early 20s and had the body I did 3 years ago. ha.
Vintage Gold Jumpsuit
I shot this fashion show back in the day and literally went back stage to snatch this outfit right off the models back. I’ve only wore it once and don’t have a real good photo of me in it…but its one of my fav items in my wardrobe.
