Shannon and I and the new team are starting our all new collection for the show this Sunday. I can't wait. I'm doing all of my silly drawings and sketches. I've done so much research and have some great study pieces from my NYC trip and L.A. I'm excited about going a little different direction again this year.

New Boudoir Queen Top

We made this top about 2 months ago. I haven't shown it because I was thinking about keeping it for myself. As I was looking thru the Kirchhoff Collection I instantly thought of it. I love this look and check out those dotted metallic and green sleeves. 20's fabric on the arms with an edwardian base backed in chiffon and mottled dye. Flower accents and metallic cuff detail. Love love love!

Not just for Rock Stars and Super Models

My fabulously stylish and decadent friend Inger had an amazing party and I noticed this wonderful photo. Of course it caught my eye because I collect loungers and cloches. After careful inspection I noticed my Boudoir Queen headband that has been in Karen Elson's video, Clash Magazine and worn at a Citizen's Band Show. It's also been worn by various recording artists on stage. See if you can spot it. BTW the lovely lady wearing it is Inger's mother. So as you can see these can be worn by women of every age group and it looks divine!

BQ Music and Styling

Patty Griffin on the set of her video styled by yours truly. You can also see my fabulous red velvet victorian mourning shadow box in the background. I'm noticing the drapes look exactly like the ones in my dining room which came from Venice Italy. Dress-cuffs and necklace all BQ. The same cuffs were also made for Imogen Heap.

Horses Harley's and Hollywood Hills

In the late 80's early 90's in Hollywood everyone had a Harley. All of the rockers also had horses and it was very chic believe it or not. We had two horses Mirabella and Poncho a wild mustang. We would ride the Harley up to Sunset Ranch and ride all day and night with some really fabulous people. It was a glorious time. We kept the horses for several years. Then with dylan growing up we decided to sell them. Horsing around is a very expensive hobby! Maybe I'll get a horse again now that I'm living out of the city. This photo is of me and Mirabella around 1990-91

Way Back When Looking Back.....

Pretty Fabulous

This authentic metallic lace bonnet was on my list of things I don't need but had to have. It's stunning!

As seen in soooo many movies!

So I've been selling a lot to costume designers lately and I can tell you that this robe has been seen in so many movies it's insane! Carnivale, Water for Horses, Boardwalk Empire and Factory Girl just to name a few off the top of my head. This one is extra nice with the checkered detail on the bottom back. Ask me about it! /Tissue silk

What I'm doing right now

Edwardian and 20's mag sorting!

Belle Époque Dressing Gown

Belle Époque French for The Beautiful Era and this certainly is! It's a silken dressing gown which can be worn and belted as a dress. It's officially my favorite piece of the moment. I have a whole new vintage collection I can't wait to offer it all to you. We are taking pre orders on some of the blog items. Also I will be doing a Vintage Show and I'll be posting details in a month or so. PS The sleeves are stuffed thus the wonkiness of the photo ;/

Hijacked

Upcycled Choker/necklace design that was hijacked- When ever we make something especially for online use we always see if anyone else is making it because I loathe doing the same thing others are doing EXACTLY to the T. Needless to say there weren't any of this exact concept online and nothing remotely close at the time. We made ours pre- Stitch show which was a huge success. They are everywhere now just like the cuffs and ankle cuffs made the Boudoir Queen way. I wonder what will be hijacked from our show in August? I think I know cause its gonna be better than ever. I'm shocked that some (designers?) have never done a legitimate fashion show or a proper collection ever. They just sit around and pick items they can make from other peoples collections. Damn fashion bandits! I'm not complaining I'm flattered that several of my ideas have taken off. Now on to the next one! Onward and upward.

I believe it's the start of a new period for me (My Best)

I'm really happy about the new direction my career is heading! Lot's of changes and I love change especially good change after working so hard. Next week I'm going out of town for the Joan Jett thing I mentioned earlier. After SXSW L.A. for business and a short vacation. I've decided to wait until mid March/April to put all of our new vintage up on our website. We also have new images. Important* We would like to get all of our international layaways shipped before I leave. Please contact me if you have questions. All USA orders have been shipped. I may close my Etsy while I'm away but someone will be available to answer questions on my website. One more thing- I will do a proper announcement but just a heads up.....we are hiring for spring. We need more hands. Seamstresses please send resumes to our www.theboudoirqueen.com website.
