still pLaYin dress-up….

when we were kids, we had a HuGE barrel of dress-up clothes…every time mom went to a garage sale, fleamarket, or thriftstore she would add to our barrel. rhinestone-clad disco dresses, oriental robes, polyester suits, glamour-esque ball gowns, platform shoes, elbow-length gloves, wigs of all colors, old evening bags…it was a barrel full of dream-big happiness! (thanks, mom! :))

and here’s amie…

we may be considered all ‘grown-up’ but we still need a little ‘dress-up therapy’ every now and then! so earlier this week we drug ArCHIE and BRYaN away from their daily grind at the warehouse and had a little fun. and it seems every time we do a photoshoot, we just can’t help but get a little carried away!

read on for a glance at some of our newest goods, photoshoot outtakes, and our adaptation of JohN MeLLencamp‘s JaCK & DiANE.
