Thee Velvet Glove

This darling lady had a great idea. She wanted something to add height so her 34 Fireflies Boutique sign was higher off the ground and could be seen better by people coming down 11th St.

She asked me to paint these suitcases and told me, “Do what you do. I trust you...”💕So I did what I do.🎨🖌️🧳 She also gives the best hugs.🤗 Thank you Lesly Dorminy. You were a dream to work with! XOXO💋 Go buy lots of stuff from her adorable shop! 🤩🤩

In search of vintage hardshell suitcases for a project if anyone has some or knows where I can get any? Something like these I painted a few years ago. 😘

This beautiful green-eyed man told me he was going to get down on one knee but I’d have to help him get up. Lol. Becoming his wife was the easiest decision I’ve ever made. Here’s to you, Mr. Heaberlin! HAPPY BIRTHDAY from the Missus. I love you, my feisty gentleman. 💚

And to Mrs. Charlene Heaberlin thank you for letting your baby grow up to be a cowboy. 😉That cowboy has made me the happiest I’ve ever been.

So glad we didn’t go to Vegas.

🤍 Good times with great friends.

‘Twas a good night. 💍👰🏼🤠

He’s so cool.

Throwback to the Marilyn Monroe Bombe I did years ago.💄These cuts across her face made me cuss a lot.

The Temptress – Bo****lo Chic meets Wild West Saloon

And now, the epitome of gaudiness – Bo****lo Chic meets Wild West Saloon, where curvaceous dance hall girls with feathers swishing from the hems of their dresses and heels click-clacking across the floor, entertain cowboys, fur trappers, miners, soldiers, gamblers and gunslingers amidst games of dice, poker and three-card monte.

Bombastic and not-so-subtle, this desk/vanity and chair set is covered in a parade of colors and patterns, topped off with brilliant gold, distressed and glazed. Desk is finished on all sides so can be placed anywhere in a room. It would make a perfect addition to any humdrum room seeking to create a bit of a seductive and seedy feel. Ha! Flutter your double-row lashes, prop your elbow up on the counter, llleeeean way back, grab some dough out of the cookie jar, get over here and load this little jewel up, then ride off into the sunset! G’wan home now. Show’s over. ♠️♥️♣️♦️

✌🏻It’s finally Friday!

Happy Fourth! Mema made our outfits.🇺🇸👧🏼👧🏻👵🏻🎇🎆 1976 Bicentennial ❤️🤍💙 We went to Howard's, a store in Texarkana to have that picture made. I remember Mema sitting me up on the glass jewelry counter to get a tick out of my ear with a lighter. Lol.
