Pinup Parade in the Park

 Months of planning, and the day finally arrived...Pinup Parade in the Park! This pinup day event is sponsored by Pinup Girl Clothing, so of course you know I'm going to be there with bells and whistles on! My girls, Tisha (IG:Teamsparkle) Emily (IG:mylittlepinupgirl) and Zoe (IG: zoesIG) and I (IG:andyseyecandy) planned on having an EPIC and different Disney bound this time around and sure enough our idea was a hit! We share a love for Carsland and classic cars, so of course the choice was clear...Motorama Girls!!!!!

The Motorama Girls were part of a deleted scene from Cars 2, but were added as inspiration of the interior for Flo's V8 Café. The story is, the Motorama Girls included Flo, Rhonda, Sheila and Laverne. While on tour as famous showgirls, they made a quick pit stop in Radiator Springs. All girls left the town soon after except for Flo who fell in love with Ramone.

The entire day was quite fun! The girls and I stopped every 10 seconds for pictures which was quite a treat. Stay tuned! We are definitely gong to be cooking up more bounds in the near future.

I quickly started on the Appliques and each one is hand cut and hand painted. Each Applique has multiple layers of felt to give it that 3D effect. I even added silver metallic paint to the chrome line.

The day was quite a dream....a pastel cotton candy dream!

Here we are with Pinup Girl's very own design mastermind, Micheline Pitt.

Happy Birthday, Disneyland!

 

Of course everyone knows, Disneyland is my ultimate happy place...I mean it is called "The Happiest Place on Earth!" July 17th, 2015 was the park's officially 60th Anniversary. Happy Birthday, Disneyland! I was eager to attend, but in proper threads. So I whipped up a Mickey Mouse Club ensemble in homage of the original 1955 crew...poodle skirt and all. I wanted to go with a classic black felt skirt to give the illusion of black-and-white television as well as incorporate the theme music we all know and love with music notes. I created everything by hand, including the detailed music notes and mickey mouse club logo. I added a vintage Mickey Mouse Aladdin brand Lunch pale most of grew up with and a lovely handmade gift from Melanie who owns "Femme De Bloom" on etsy. Her earrings were the cutest handmade Mickey Mouse Club logo earrings. They are my absolute favorite now!

Not only did I have an amazing time with friends, but I also had the priviledge of meeting a few original Mousketeers and the President of the Disneyland Resort. Here he is in the picture below PHOTOBOMBING! It was an absolute amazing time!

My best friends, Tisha (IG: teamsparkle) and Emily (ig:mylittlepinupgirl), and I were featured in the OC Register! How awesome is that?!?!?!
