Throwing a sequin bedazzled spin on things. Breaking though the cobwebs and discovering all the treasures someone else forgot to sew with. Finding people to trot with to old records. Finding unusual people to dress up and take pictures of on our new couch. Going to ART shows at the NEw Image ARt GAllery.
Music
Anything that makes you dance and then cry. Like the Shagra-las...or the Zombies.Sweet songs by girls with soft guitars or harps. Music to tapdance too. Soundtracks- too. Cinematic songs that make you feel like you are riding a bike in France- wind blowing your dress up.

mr. John galliano-
About me: I'm a tiny boutique in Echo Park that loves keeping strange hours...
I opened on October 13th, 2000...to house friends artwork and local
designers clothes. Every first SAturday the block has a street party
presenting these new artists and designers. We like to carry designers whose work tells a story--and show art and objects that reflect a feminine point of view.
When possible please try to include a note when trying to add us as a friend--so we know you are a real person.
Who I'd like to meet: people who like to trick out there dull wardrobes...like wearing a cape, corsage, pompom, or a giant sequin beret. (ok maybe not that last one)
Any undiscovered artists, jewelry makers or crafty designers that make things that tell an interesting tale. If you can Macrame-that's a plus. ALways looking to meet folk artists/taxidermists, weavers, knitters, flappers, performers, and costume makers. Love Edie/Grey Gardens, the Marchesa Luisa Cassati, Dare Wright, Auntie Mame, the Cockettes, girls with gaps in their teeth, the gang of Italian looking beauties in Holy Mountain.
