Prima Donna

This month I was the featured artist at Prima Donna, an art gallery/vintage consignment shop along the Rue Magnolia, the historic heart of Downtown Biloxi. They sell a wide variety of retro clothing, from dresses to hats to sweater chains. It's fun to stop by and play dress up with awesome owner and stylist Jerika Broussard!

As a lover of all things vintage and a painter of vintage fashion, this was the perfect outlet for my art. The opening reception was held during a "Finally Friday" event in which all the businesses stay open late. The night included live music, great food, and lots of shopping.

It was a great opening night and was glad to sell some art and have so many supportive friends, family, and students stop by!

I opted to wear my Trashy Diva dress fresh off the summer sale rack. What better place to wear Trashy Diva than to a place called "Prima Donna"? All accessories  modeled are courtesy of the store.

Dress: Trashy Diva "Honey Ruffle"

Art and shoes. What could be a better combination?

Me and Jerika Broussard, fabulously fierce owner of Prima Donna.

All my art!

What a great turnout!

Guess who?

One of my former students, Flora, standing by a portrait which she posed for.
 Love seeing her retro outfit.
See what happens to my student's style under my influence?

I think I need to buy this hat. 

"Muriel's", and oil on canvas.

Flora bought this hat, handmade by Jerika, before leaving the show. Love it! 

Will have to have this hat, too. 

Ready for a Dr. Zhivago remake!
