REPOST FOR LAZY DAYS----2007 Poiret post

My most favorite designer evah !

In the annals of fashion history, Paul Poiret (1879–1944), who called himself the "King of Fashion," is best remembered for freeing women from corsets and further liberating them through pantaloons. However, it was Poiret’s remarkable innovations in the cut and construction of clothing, made all the more remarkable by the fact that he could not sew, that secured his legacy. Working the fabric directly onto the body, Poiret helped to pioneer a radical approach to dressmaking that relied more on the skills of drapery than on those of tailoring. Focusing on his technical ingenuity and originality, the exhibition explores Poiret’s modernity in relation to and as an expression of the dominant discourses of the early 20th century, including Cubism, Classicism, Orientalism, Symbolism, and Primitivism.

Make-up By BQ Photo Steven Arnold for Exposure Magazine Grace Zabriskie Twin Peaks/Big Love/David Lynch

Click to enlarge-----

I'm finally getting around to scanning some photos of my make-up clients from my portfolio. This is a photo that Steven took at his studio of Grace. I did the styling and make-up obviously this was taken during the Twin Peaks period. She is awesome to work with. You can see in the credits that my ex husband did the hair and we had not been married yet. This is an oldie. I noticed my dear friend who I speak of a lot did the jewelry. I had forgotten that! It also looks like there is a small spot on the eye. I have the original mags in storage somewhere.I have 4 books brimming with photos. I need to go thru them all before they get ruined. There's some really fun images in them.

Zabriskie was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her father founded Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop and Lafitte's in Exile,[1] a cafe and bar on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, and Zabriskie has said that her family was visited by Tennessee Williams, Gore Vidal and Truman Capote during her childhood.[2] After making her major film debut in 1979's Norma Rae, Zabriskie went on to appear in dozens of other works, including the 1981 miniseries adaptation of John Steinbeck's East of Eden, 1989's Drugstore Cowboy, the

1991 film adaptation Fried Green Tomatoes and 1995's The Passion of Darkly Noon. She also appeared as Paula's mother in An Officer and A Gentleman Zabriskie is perhaps most familiar, however, for her television work. After appearing in a recurring role on the soap opera Santa Barbara, she played a major role on the David Lynch series Twin Peaks and its spin-off film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me as Sarah Palmer, the eerily psychic mother of the doomed Laura Palmer. Zabriskie had previously appeared in Lynch's Wild at Heart — notably as the twin sister of a character played by Isabella Rossellini, an actress eleven years her junior. She was also chosen by David Lynch to appear as a sinister Polish neighbour in Inland Empire in 2006. Zabriskie may best be remembered, albeit not by name, as Mrs. Ross, a recurring character on the sitcom Seinfeld. She played the mother of another doomed daughter, Susan Ross—George Costanza's fiancee—who died after licking closed dozens of cheap envelopes (bought by the stingy Costanza) while mailing out her wedding invitations. Zabriskie's character's husband on the show, also a recurring role, was played by her former Twin Peaks co-star Warren Frost. She also made a brief but memorable appearance on the CBS sitcom The King of Queens, as the emotionally disturbed and alcoholic mother of Spence Olchin (who was played by Patton Oswalt). While the character of Veronical Olchin would reappear throughout the series, Zabriskie would not portray her again, having been replaced by Anne Meara. She has at times worked in radio, collaborating with radio dramatist/monologist Joe Frank several times. Zabriskie recently appeared in the American remake The Grudge, in which she played a senile grandmother sensitive to the paranormal occurrences in her home. She also stars as Lois Henrickson in Big Love, an HBO drama series that seriously explores the issue of polygamy. Grace also appeared in several episodes of Aaron Spelling's Series Charmed as The Crone.

GYPSY DAY and Special Thanks

Today I feel like a gypsy sorting thru my new found treasures. Mark and I have been going thru vintage garments since the wee hrs of the morning. I purchased many new and fabulous frocks , fabrics and findings that will be made into gorgeous clothes this summer. We are slowly taking Boudoir Queen to an all new level. I have several new items that we will be introducing next year. A lingerie line and our home line. We are also opening a new company which will be an extension of Boudoir Queen and another line which is hush-hush at the moment. Of course I am so excited about the Carney video with the beautiful guest starlet wearing full tilt BQ. I have seen the video and oh how I wish I could share! It is the best thing that we have ever done. As soon as I can say more I will ;) let's just say it's jaw droppingly fabulous.

I want to say thank you to all of my friends and clients who sent me all of the lovely emails this week. I also would like to take a moment to say thank you to all that read and comment on my blog. I read everyones comments and I'm sorry if I don't always respond. My life has been crazy. I haven't a lot of internet time other than working on my on-line shop.

I would also like to give a big special thank you to Altered Couture Magazine for doing such a great job on my article. I have been lucky to have a lot of press over the years and been in many magazines. I have had more response from Altered Couture than any other and it's not even out yet!

Have a great day everyone!

RE-POST BQ MODELS AND MUSIC /SOUPY SALES

Cali wearing the dress I made for Robert Rodriguez sister Patricia Vonne. Robert is dating Rose McGowan now. Cool! It was on the cover of Austin Woman Magazine.


Patricia Vonne in the same dress.

If you have followed my collections over the past couple of years you will notice that I use a certain model in many of my shoots. Her name is Cali Sales. Cali is an amazing model and a very talented artist! She is one of our favorite people! Cali comes from an interesting background. Just think how awesome it would be to have David Bowie be your babysitter when you were a child! Her father Hunt Sales was part of the band Tin Machine with David Bowie. He also played with Iggy Pop (lust for Life) For those of you who are a little older you may remember who her famous grandfather Soupy Sales who had several of his own television shows. Here is a little Bio of Soupy and sons.

Game Shows From 1968 to 1975 Sales was a regular panelist on the syndicated revival of What's My Line?. He generally was the first panelist introduced and occupied the chair at the far left side of the panel (facing the camera).

Sales was also a panelist on the short-lived 1980 revival of To Tell the Truth; he had also appeared as a guest on the show during the mid- to late-1970s. Other notable game show appearances include over a dozen episodes of the original "Match Game" from 1966 to 1969, a week's worth of shows on the 1970s edition of Match Game, a few guest spots on Hollywood Squares (Dec. 12, 1977 & April 4, 1978) and a recurring role in all of the many different dollar amount versions of The $10,000 Pyramid from 1973 to 1991. He also made an appearance on the show Pictionary in 1997.

In 1977, Sales was the host of "Junior Almost Anything Goes," ABC's Saturday Morning version of their popular team-based physical stunt program.

His sons' activities

Soupy's sons, musicians Hunt and Tony Sales, played bass and drums in the band Tin Machine with David Bowie, as well as playing on the albums Runt by Todd Rundgren and Lust For Life by Iggy Pop. Both sons had a band together in Detroit while their father was still in TV there. The band, Tony and the Tigers, had a local hit with the song Turn it On Girl. Tony and the Tigers also appeared on the TV show Hullabaloo in 1966. Hunt Sales created the percussion riff for "Lust for Life" that has been used in numerous commercials.

Legacy

Soupy Sales was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 7, 2005, a day before his 79th birthday.

In the episode "The One with the Lesbian Wedding" of the TV-series Friends, Phoebe mentions Soupy Sales while supposedly being inhabited by the spirit of her dead massage client.

In the film Juno (2007), Soupy is referenced during the scene where Juno confronts Bleeker about taking another girl to prom. Juno had earlier suggested he go out with her, but he said he didn't like her because she smelled like soup. Later, when Juno realizes she loves him, she calls his date Soupy Sales.
