New Bernie Dexter Swimsuits!

So, it’s no secret that we love some vintage lingerie over here, but what about when the temperatures start to climb…?  That’s when we grab our Bernie Dexter swimsuit, a pair of cateye sunnies, a blanket, and a paperback and head to the springs!

Fresh to the racks this week, vintage- inspired swimsuits for your bathing pleasure…

This pink and brown floral two piece is trimmed in leopard ruffles, $62

Imagine yourself as Elvis’ love interest in Blue Hawaii, $62

What’s better than an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini? This high waisted floral number with leopard trim and bows! $136

And we’re absolutely overboard for this skipper style one piece… $110

Also, fresh in the shop is this darling springtime lingerie set:

The Bo Peep! Bra $58, Panty Girdle $56

Bach is For Lovers!

A few months ago, The Sound Bridge Project, a group of musicians dedicated to bringing classical music to unexpected environments,  approached me about collaborating on an event to celebrate the bawdy side of Bach.  The idea was to bring a variety of musicians together to play an array of Bach arrangements both as they were classically intended, as well contemporary interpretations.

And what, might you ask, would my contribution be to a night like this?  WIGS, of course!  Any opportunity to turn a party into a baroque/powdered wig throwdown, well.  I’m ready to drop it like it’s Bach.

A few that I snapped before the party started:

IMG_4138Moody, one of the organizers of the event, looking so distinguished in our Zelda wig!

IMG_4156Henry, one of the musicians, fashioned his wig from paper!  Clever man.

My favorite photobooth, Fun Loving Photos, was there, too!  Here’s just a few teasers of some of the gorgeosity that abounded…

DSC_1253And speaking of “bringing out the best in a wig,” I think Devi is missing her coif…IMG_4147My favorite part of any Fun Loving Photos photobooth is getting a vintage black and white polaroid!  You should have seen me driving to the event in this 3′ wide hairdo.  Yes, my head was out the window, and I had no peripheral vision.  Lucky the club was close!
