Join me for a summer stroll through the decades with Hollywood stars Gene Marshall, Madra Lord, and Joan Crawford.  It's going to be a hot day in Hollywood folks.....

Golden Riviera Madra Lord (Integrity) looks surreal in Tonner's delightful Tyler sweater (a la Schiaparelli) layered over her sleeveless white dress.  Shoes are also from the original outfit.  Purse from Integrity, bracelets from Tonner, gloves from Ashton Drake, and OOAK hat from The Couture Touch.

A restyled Simply Gene Marshall (Ashton Drake) is simply fabulous in D.A.E. Original's "Steppin Out", a delicious 1940's ensemble.  Love the dramatic hat and lace corsage accents.  The shoes and purse are borrowed from Tonner's Brenda Starr.

  1. Great outfit by DAE—and the restyling of Gene's hair is totally fab! Can't believe that period hairdo was never done for her! It is so 40's!

  2. Many thanks Dave! I love working with Ashton Drake's hair fiber; it's so forgiving!
