Lip Service Tour and Disneyland (again)!

Friday was Disneyland day! But first, a quick stop at Lip Service headquarters. They had contacted Amelia and asked us to stop by to discuss future cross promotion between Lip Service, Sugarpill, and Amelia’s band Angelspit. Fun, huh? We got a tour of their offices and factory and got to see how all their clothing is designed, cut and sewn. I love behind the scenes stuff. And the entire staff was really friendly and seemed to love their jobs!

Amelia Arsenic Does Hollywood!

After spending a few days in San Francisco and Oakland, Amelia, Kevin and I drove down to L.A. to shoot Sugarpill stuff. We arranged for Allan Amato to photograph Amelia and fellow cutie Ulorin Vex modeling upcoming Sugarpill collections. Sweet Scar was kind enough to offer us her amazing studio, Pillar Box, to shoot in.

Amelia Arsenic Does San Francisco!

Hello! Look at me blogging on a Saturday, I’m sooooo cool. Here are some pics from when the lovely Amelia flew in from London/Australia to model for Sugarpill and road trip with us to L.A. and Vegas for more photoshootin’, meetings, cosmetic industry trade show, hot circus boys (oooh I can’t wait to get to that part), and fun girl times. I’m going to break up our week-long adventure into several posts by city because there are just way too many pictures. This is the San Francisco post!

SHRINKLE Hot Pink Turquoise Polka Dot Mesh Party Dress w/ Heart Buttons

Hi! Here’s a fun dress I made just for you (yeah, you)!! It’s the same one I wore to IMATS, but I made multiples of this design so the one you get will be brand new and unworn.

I currently have a MEDIUM and LARGE listed in my Etsy shop. I made a Small too, but it’s being loaned out for a Locketship photo shoot so I don’t want to list it yet. I should be getting it back in a few weeks, so check back if that’s the size you’re after!

Necklace by Cutie Dynamite!

On a side note, I’ve missed sewing SOOOOO much! I barely have time for anything these days since Sugarpill took over my life. But I’m trying to rework my schedule so that I can do it all and keep making pretty dresses for you guys. Sleep bad, coffee good!

Have a happy weekend!

XOXO
Amy

Lunch at the Ferry Building with Maria Locketship and Twinkie Chan

Last month, Maria Locketship came up to San Francisco for a brief visit. Such an event called for an immediate Big-Headed Asians (BHA) club meeting! We managed to round up 3/4 of our members (missing: Irene) for a romantic lunch date at the Ferry Building.

Maria, Twinkie and me waiting for a table at Slanted Door, a really yummy Vietnamese restaurant. Maria’s head only looks small here because she’s cheating by leaning back!!

Disneyland Adventures!

The Monday after IMATS, we treated ourselves to a fun day at Disneyland. I hadn’t been in so long, and now I’m hooked! Disneyland, I will never neglect you again. From left to right, front to back: Tess, Yume, the Debbi, Kevin, me, White Stephanie, Lauren, Irene and Shandra!

Originally the plan was for everyone to dress in “hillbilly” theme. That plan was nixed at the last minute; unfortunately Yume and I were the only ones who didn’t get the memo!!! Thanks a lot, friends! So we decided to just be lesbian cowgirls. I made her be the butch one because of her shaved head and called her Yuman.
