This past Sunday, each designer who is participating in the show was asked to provide one outfit to be modeled for the poster and other promotional materials for the show. I’m sharing with you some behind-the-scenes photos, some of which feature the lovely Samantha, who modeled my dress made from vinyl records. The electric blue skirt is made from part of my neighbor’s trampoline, which was headed to the curb. You may also recognize her necklace, which I crafted from pop tabs and silver plastic.

Each year, this show gets bigger and better… with more and more people involved… and so many designers, engineers, photographers, hair and makeup specialists, stylists, and coordinators sharing their talents. I’d better go get to work!

I’ve got some wicked-awesome photos to share with you! Some of them feature art that I’ve created, and some of them are just plain wicked all by themselves. Once I figure out which ones I like the best, (and maybe tweak a few in Photoshop) I’ll be posting them now and then. This photo above has a tiny bit of Photoshopping done to it—essentially I’ve changed the hue and cropped it. Credit for the remaining “awesomeness” goes to the talent of the photographer (I’m speaking of Jason, of course).
