Johnny Sacko commissioned custom hip hugger bell bottom pants for Summer Solstice celebrations. He went to local architect Jeff Shelton and selected a blue flower pattern and had the design printed onto white fabric. He then brought the fabric to me and together we designed some spectacular pants!

Bryan Snyder, 5th Earl of Mission Canyon, left the rolling hills of upstate New York in 1995 and spent two decades teaching natural sciences at outdoor schools across the country before establishing his dominion on the West Coast. “In a Black Flip-Sequin Cape by SB Seamstress,” says Bryan, “I don’t have to lift a finger. The peasantry practically subjugates itself.” His exploits tempting fate in the Great American Wilderness can be discovered at www.offthemapbooks.com.

Tiger Furkini modeled by Veronica Moffitt

Tiger Furkini – Modeled by Veronica Moffitt, this costume was designed for prowling around music and art festivals. First, I covered a bikini was covered with synthetic tiger fur. Then I made a tiger hood with ears to transform the head. A furry vest with interior velcro pockets gives the wearer a place to put their money and keys. A tail was added to the bikini to blend the cat characteristics. Wrist cuffs and leg warmers complete the look, creating a hybrid tiger/sexy babe.

This purple fur cape doubles as a blanket while camping. It can wrap around the body and button under the chin, or spread out flat in a cozy tent. Our animals are so nosy that we just decided to let them be in the shots.

Ron Glover wearing a dress shirt designed for a wedding in Hawaii

Danger! Turn Back! The Top of the page was much safer.

Coat-Blue

This heavy faux fur coat was designed to coordinate with school colors so it could be worn to basketball sporting events. The outside of the coat has 2 pockets, one for each hand. The inside, however, is lined with a variety of pockets. Most of the pockets have buttons or velcro so that items do not fall out when the coat is draped over a chair. There are several large pockets designed specifically to hold beer!

Coat_Green01_small

This long coat was designed to keep the core body warm. However, we decided to leave off the sleeves because he “runs hot”. This garment is great for music and camping festivals when the temperatures drop but the dancing generates warmth.
