Bjork is so Gangsta

I'm loving this E-40 song "Spend the Night" which samples Bjork's Medulla album. It's pretty awesome. I heart you Bjork, you're still my number 1.

Barbarella's Ray Gun


Here's a detailed look at the humorous Ray Gun created for my Barbarella act in The Atomic Bombshells LOST IN SPACE: A Burlesque Odyssey show.

*NERD ALERT!*



Special Thanks to Mike Prevette for rigging the lighting for me.

Get It Get It Get It!

A few of you have written me, specifically regarding this pullover jacket.

Well, I was just at Stitches, and they now how the most amazing Cobalt Blue Jersey. So, if you want this, now is the time.

Lost in Space Detailed Costume Credits: COMING SOON

For those of you interested in reading more about the costumes for Lost in Space, hold tight. I have the complete detailed list coming as soon as the run is over (don't want to spoil the fun for those who haven't seen the show yet.)

I am pleased to say that the Von Stratton label created roughly 43 total looks for this production. Which include the interior garments for a performers act.

That ain't bad in a 2 month time frame! I'd like to see how I'd take on Fashion Week if given 6 months. :-D
