As we approach 2019, let us take a moment to brace ourselves for the oncoming onslaught of Manson Family “tributes” destined for the 50th anniversary year of the Tate-LaBianca murders. Here at its epicenter, in the city of Los Angeles, it seems like every other week that there are murmurings about the new Tarantino flick, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. And I wasn’t aware of this, but apparently there will be two additional Sharon Tate films released next year as well - The Haunting of Sharon Tate and Tate. Manson’s orders may have led to the gruesome murders of eight innocent individuals between August 8-10, 1969, but we will always remember Sharon Tate. Our frame of reference today may primarily recognize her as one cult’s sacrifice to Helter Skelter. Had these random, senseless killings not occurred, however, Tate would have been known for her promising career as a beloved Hollywood actress and style icon. Emerging onto the Hollywood scene in the early Sixties, Tate was part of a new generation of actors during a renaissance of film making known as the “American New Wave.” Beautiful and naturally talented, she starred in a number of films including...

"Sunset ii", watercolour painting, 7.5 x 11" SOLD This is the second sunset demo from my class on Wednesday morning. This time, I painted the clouds on dry, white paper, puddling in the colour, and then put the lower sky with the pale yellow in afterwards. When that was dry, I put in another layer in the lower sky of duller orange, leaving the bright yellow to shine underneath the clouds. The colours of the clouds are a bit brighter on this painting, because they were put on white paper instead of the yellow-orange of the previous post, but it was a bit more difficult to place in the sky colours around the cloud shapes. I think it is kind of interesting that both painting methods worked equally as well. Enjoy! To purchase this, or commission your own painting, please email me.

Your eyes are getting sleepy. Not because you're actually getting tired (or maybe you are), but because they're bored of the same ol' way you've been applying eyeliner. Admit it: while you might change up your lipstick and eyeshadow colors every now…

I've managed to find most of the paper dolls online that I enjoyed playing with as a child. Sometimes the search has taken a bit of effort but I've been thrilled to discover that many original copies are still for sale, and if the original is not available there are good quality reproductions on offer or online picture albums and blogs that have brought back some wonderful memories. One paper doll I have not come across in any search is the one posted below. It was given to me in the late 60's and was most likely modelled on Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle although her famous Ascot dress is not as it appeared in the film. My own paper doll version of My Fair Lady can be found here It is a very pretty paper doll though, painted with a delicate touch and contains some lovely detail.

Probably the most iconic paper doll book of the mid 20th century, this set is still highly sought after by collectors today. As it was produced by Merrill in 1955 my mother must have bought it before I was born, at least 10 years before I was old enough to play with it. I can remember it from early childhood, a magical representation of every little girl's dream wedding. I named the dolls after the people who made up my world - the bride was called Molly after my mom and I truly believed she was modelled on her. (I included a photo of my mother on her wedding day in the post on Mervyn Suart.)
