I'll post it here shortly. Mauve Dress Boudoir Queen- Black and white corset top Boudoir Queen Maroon/Purple Jacket Boudoir Queen red dress in the video Boudoir Queen Photographed by Yelena Yemchuk
My husband Mark playing guitar at the Grammy's. He co-wrote Cradle of Love. This blonde pony tail hair do is pretty funny- If you want to see him play live come to our Secret Circus event!
Fabulous Cali the daughter of rocker Hunt Sales (Iggy Pop and David Bowie Tin Machine) is a close friend of our family . For those of you who follow BQ you will see she has been modeling for me since she was 16. Last week she had her 20th Birthday. All of my models are all growing up and moving away. I'm thrilled that when she's in town she stops by to model for us. I've just listed tons of gorgeousness on etsy and my website. Our SC partner Matt and Mark are having a meeting now. It looks like our first Secret Circus will be around Valentines Day in Austin at a faboo hotel- We have start getting all of the costumes ready. It's a huge under-taking but I can't wait! Also I will be going back and forth to L.A. a lot over the next few months. Business-legal and pleasure. I won't be listing a new "collection" until winter 2011. We will list here and there as usual of course. I just bought a huge vintage lingerie lot and a lot of Edwardian items that I need to photograph and list. I'm using them in a new video so I can't share just yet. We have new things to share and I'll try and keep everyone posted. BTW If you want any of the new hats that are on the listings speak now!!
cheers my Dears,
BQ
These are just a couple of those amazing photo's that I was telling you about. There are hundreds. You have to be part of our group to view :( Also some are going to be in a publication so I can post yet. I'm giving you a little sneaker peeker.......enjoy
Photo's of me-jorie our friend Lathan and Chris -Brandi Cowley
I will be doing a big blog on this fabulous photographer friend of ours. He is divine !
Sorry this is so teenie tiny- Photo from Saturday Night (Kathy Valentine from the Go-Go's now playing in the Blue Bonnette's) Me- Johnny Goudie and the fabulous Jessi Clayton who I can't wait to have model for me. This is a screen cap from a video. I need to figure out how to upload it. It was a fun night.....a little too fun ;/
I failed to mention in the L.A. blog post (the photo with our friend Mark)-That he directs faboo Music Video's and is doing one with Dead Weather . I think he already did one and is working on another. I'm not sure I can't keep up. This is fantastic news- Hopefully he will do one for my Mark. Another cool band Sounds under Radio invited us to see them at Stubbs tomorrow night. I promised them a cool ring. While Mark is at his Circus meeting I better try and pull something together. I dread going downtown but will try and make it to this awesome show!

I can't wait to see our best man and best friend Keith when we get to L.A. The Roosevelt is going to be filled with crazy amazing energy this week! Here's a little bit about him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Forsey Pretty in Pink Poison Dress Modeled by Wednesday -Mark Younger Smith Photography
Dress revamp from our 2001 collection- Available now on Etsy Ciao!!
We made the entire outfit for Patty for Impossible Dream. As you can see the lace and silk top - skirt and pants were done in the nude palette. Tassel embellishments. The skirt silk. All garments were patterned and designed by BQ. These are not reworked vintage. Her cuff with the giant magnolia flower was on the cover of Paste 2003. I think Patty was one of the first singer/songwriters to embrace the repurpose vintage look. We made all of her clothes at the time and she purchased many amazing dresses which can be seen below in the photos. I have so many pictures of Patty. The photos of the red and brown piano shawl Koi top was featured in the Elle article. If you go thru my archives you can find a lot more. Such a talent!
As I've mentioned over the past several weeks, we have been very exited about being a part of the fabulous Carney video "Love Me Chase Me". The divine Evan Rachel Wood is wearing Boudoir Queen custom Corsetry and accessories in all the scenes except the first one. I would like to thank Timothy the fabulous director for sending us some great concepts to work from. I love the styling and make-up in this video. The song is now one of my favorites. This band rocks! Special thanks to Lisa Veronica for getting us this gig. Thanks to Shannon ; ) ENJOY!!!

OMG- this is sooooooooooo rare. As many of you know my husband Mark Younger-Smith co-wrote the now famous ahead of it's time CYBERPUNK Record----I've only found one other concert from this period. This one is great. Mark has half a head of pink hair LOL! Anyway I was happy to find this concert tour ended early and there's not a lot of footage.
