Thanks to Teagan Blackthorne for the terrific pic that lead to this hair.  Jitterbug Doll will make you ...well... want to go out jitterbuging! (psst... there's a vintage dance floor next to my shop in Born now. :D )



Hope you like it!

I created a variation of the Rosemary dress in Pink Carnation for the Shine charity event taking place right now. All proceeds from the sales of Rosemary in Pink Carnation go to Medecins Sans Frontieres.



Then Tesla showed me her new Natasha Stilettos, and I decided I had to make it in more colours to match... so here they are... Wild Cherry, Butter Rum, Licorice and Wintermint.



I think they're perfect for holiday cocktail parties and hope you agree!

My first ever magazine ad came out today in Second Style magazine, and I'd like to take a moment to thank the wonderful AM Radio for allowing me to shoot the picture for the advertisement at The Far Away. He has truly created a thing of beauty. If you haven't already discovered The Far Away, I assure you it is well worth the visit. You can also pick up your own plot of wheat while there and all proceeds go to the charity, Heifer.org.

First off.... we have moved the flagship store. We are now in Born. The Mangakino shop will be closing at the end of the year. At the new store only, you will find all of the clothing vendors, with the exception of those outfits which include hair, now offer the buyer a choice of Copy or Transfer permissions!! Simply pay the vendor and select which you would like from the drop down box that will appear in the upper right hand corner of your screen.

While you're there please visit my little Gatsby era dance floor off to the right from where you tp in. :)

Next, the new release for this week is Rosemary, a frothy, fifties, dream of a dress in sky blue. It was inspired by the "Sisters" dress in the movie White Christmas.



Finally, to celebrate to grand opening of the new flagship store in Born we have a freebie! Available only through Sunday, so get yourself over to grab yours!

New today at Ingenue, Kim, after Kim Novak, is a 1950's inspired cocktail dress. It comes in colours inspired by the upcoming winter holiday season ... Coal, Holly Berry, Evergreen and Frost.

I decided while putting this outfit together yesterday that it needed a pin.  I just love pink and red together. :)  I've put it out at my shop in Mangakino as a little freebie for anyone who would like to stop by and pick up a copy.  Of course, the lovely millinery confection that it matches can be purchased at Chapeau tres Mignon.

I've been working on more hair and here are the first two. When it comes to making hair, sometimes I have a very definite image in mind of what I want to make when I start... like the Marilyn and it all goes very quickly. Then there are times like today when I just kind of start playing to see what will come out... like with these two styles. The first one I am calling Boogie Woogie. You'll notice that it is fairly similar to The Grable with the main difference being that this one has more va va voom (for want of a better word). It's for the retro gal that wants attention getting reverse rolls and a bumper bang look. I'm very happy with how it came out..but as I mentioned, it's pretty close to The Grable. Which brings me to the decision I'm trying to make... should I discontinue The Grable? I'd love to hear your opinions. :) Anyway, here it is....

Boogie Woogie


and the Deco Doll, another attention getter. This time with reverse rolls and a sophisticated twisted bun at the nape of the neck.

Today's new release is Annette, a 1930's inspired sweater and skirt set.  Annette comes with sculptie puffed sleeves.  The fitted skirt flares at the bottom into a flexi prim flounce.  It comes in four colours, Rose, Creme de Menthe, Pumpkin and Chocolate & Caramel.
