Help.

Hello hello blog readers, I just wanted to take a quick moment, to ask you a favor.
I am entered in, and currently sitting at 3rd place in the Dandelion Vintage Clothing Contest!
You can vote for me directly here, and you can vote for 3 people per day!
When you are done voting, you should stroll on over to Dandelion Vintage. Carol has some awesome pieces, and her prices are painfully reasonable! One of the fairest priced sites on the whole internet if you ask me. Right now she even has a few Ceil Chapman dresses to oogle! So go, go look!

Coming Home A Winner

I am back from our anniversary vacation, and still in vacation mode. I can't muster up the energy to blog or work. I drank a pot of coffee today so I could bring you the results of weeks of top secret planning. Over the past weekend we attended Jake The Alligator Man's 4th Annual 75th Birthday (say that three times fast!)
Every year this event is held in downtown Long Beach, WA and every year there is a big car show, live music, and of course, a pin-up contest. I entered this pin-up contest, but I brought a secret weapon... another (more)Beautiful lady! Seeing as Jake is a half-man half-alligator side show freak, I figure, we too should be side-show oddities. Thus, the Siamese Twins, Olga and Elsa were born!
We made this entire costume for about $25 and it was loosely based off 666 Photography's Dia De Los Muertos Set. Very Loosely. But after a few nights of white wine, flowers, ribbons, and injuries, the costume was finished. All the pain and late nights were worth it in the end, because we walked away winners, The Bride(s) Of Jake!
We won a gift basket filled with many lovely treasures! The greatest prize at all was the 2 night stay to the Breakers Hotel in Long Beach. I see a siamese ladies night hotel party in my future!
We also go some stunning GothFox Pasties, and several piece of Lucky Cupcake clips and jewelry. There were lots of people and old friends at the event, even Team Jessup made an appearance and asked that we take a snap with their cutie-pie son.
We caused quite a stire on the Penninsula, because even the local paper wrote about Olga and Elsa! Read about it in the Chinook Observer. I know there are several more pictures that will surface in the coming days, but I thought I would give you guys the first glimpse of our winners suit.

I have more re-capping to do about our weekend at the coast, and our visits to Astoria to sip craft beers with Team Jessup.... But that will have to wait til tomorrow.

In the Contest Now

This year, after much proding from my husband, and after the emails from blog readers last season I decided I would submit a picture to the Mad Men Casting Call. I used this picture from my shoot with Mr. T PDX which you can VOTE FOR HERE!
I am quite excited as my image just went live this morning and I went from page 65 to page 7 in about 2 hours. I am hoping I will get many more votes and make it to the top 10 contestants. How exciting would that be?? Well, if you love my blog and want to put a smile on my face, take 2 seconds out of your day and click "vote" for me, Miss Twila Jean.
Special thanks to Mr. T PDX for providing me with such lovely pictures, of the appropriate era! Also, thank you to all that have or will vote for me!!

Want to win a free dress?

I had the pleasure of modeling a dress for Shristi Studios recently and she is now holding a contest! Go vote for you favorite photoset and you are automatically entered in a drawing to win one of her dresses in your size!

Vote for me if you love me! I took these in a vacant lot near my house. I thought they turned out rather neat.. although I was chased off by the rain during the shooting.

So go vote if you like... I am number 2 *hint hint* Haha. Have a great weekend guys and good luck!
