THE CITIZEN INDEX

Blah-Blah Blog

Picture imperfect: I'm still working out the kinks in my makeshift photo studio, aka the "Gay-rage" There's lots of room for improvement, but I've just got to buckle down and get to work. There's plenty of things to list! 

Today, I had some fun prancing about, in front of, and behind the camera, trying to model various items, with mixed results.  Today's theme was "the need for Tweed," and I wore some spectacular specimens of tweed clothing, including the moto-jacket made from tweed, and this office-ready skirt. I'll be listing them soon. 

I've decided that I need to recruit some models! So I put the call out, and hopefully can get some fresh faces in front of the lens. I think it'll be easier and more fun for all. So maybe in a couple of weeks, I can have a fun editorial style spread for you, featuring lovelies modeling my "fresh picked vintage."


A year ago today I lived a whole other life, and the year before that, in a whole other different locale. It's kinda funny/cool/weird to see what's changed, and what's stayed the same.

That's about it for now- I'm feeling under the weather, and need to take easy this week. See you on the flip side!

  2. I agree with Patti, sorry to hear you're not feeling well. You did a great job of faking it while doing the photo shoot for your "need for tweed". Studio is looking fantastic, love the picture frame idea.

  3. Oh, I love the frame! I recently popped for studio lighting equipment, but I'm fairly certain it will be winter before I set it up and master all the new bells and whistles. That's what I'm loving about the selling...so much to learn.

  22. How great to have a studio set up and ready for use! It looks nice and bright, and I love the single big picture frame. Great outfits, too. I get the feeling we're all ready for some tweed now after a long, hot summer.

    I hope you feel better soon.

  25. Liking the frame and the concrete background. Its so hard to get a good setup for listings pictures, but it looks like you're on your way!

  26. I hope you are feeling better. Regarding what you said about time passing and changes, one of the things I love about blogging is being able to go back and see my life in pictures and feel like I am right there again. Some of those places I like being in again, and some of those places I wouldn't do again.

    XOXO

  30. Hope you are feeling alright again. Love your studio work. And tweed is very happening this fall. So you should sell them easily.
    I wonder what it is going to be like with other models. Please let us see you from time to time as well. I love your serious-looking face.
