Palms Springs and Marilyn

I've been lucky this last week! I've spend the last 2 days in Palms Springs relaxing/working. I love this city so much and was happy that I actually got to go out and explore downtown. Whenever I come here (at least 20 times!) I always take the last flight in and first flight out, so I have only seen what's close to my hotel in the dark.

My FAVORITE thing about this city is that it's all MARILYN MONROE! Everywhere you look, there is a statue or picture. If you know anything about me, you know will how utterly obsessed with her I am. She's the tops to me and oozes sex appeal. If I didn't have such dark hair (eyebrows) I would dye my hair and try to look like her in every way. Anyways, here are some pictures of my adventures in Palms Springs. 

Cloudy weather! No one wanted to come play!

Wanda Woodward and LA

I'm finally semi settled in at my new location in LA and I am already in love with the area. El Segundo is seriously a little city inside the big city. My mom took my down to the beach, which is only a 5 minute drive from our apartment so I have been taking advantage of my daily exercise right on the beach. I love it out here... and I love being so close to the water.

 

Working out of the LAX Airport is a new challenge, to say the least. Every airport is different and has specific ways of doing things, so its been interesting getting a hang of the different procedures! In Phoenix, I was seriously spoiled and just had to work one airline with one aircraft. Now in LAX, I am working 5-6 airlines and 4 different air crafts. I will tell you though, as much as everyone HATES the EMB 120, a.k.a Puddle jumper, Clown Car, or really small and loud plane, I had so much fun working that one on my first day. Even though you are constantly bumping into someone or having your hinny in their face ( not that I'm saying I like to do that :) ) it seems like a "closer" flight. Anyway, enough about that and I promise when I get back in to LA, I will start looking into Vintage Shops and see what I can find. ANY recommendations would be awesome!!!

 

Alright, now onto the vintagey part of the post, I've been thinking a lot about Wanda Woodward from the movie Crybaby. ( BTW, me and my sisters all time favorite movie). I've been EXTREMELY tempted to cut my bangs like hers.... I love them and find they so incredibly sexy... and of course the fire engine red lipstick.

 

 

 

But while looking at these picture, it got me thinking about a new sewing project... I think I will attempt to make her white and red wiggle dress...

 

 

Now let's just throw in a damn sexy picture of Johnny Depp for good measure. Yes Johnny, I will have your babies.
