Super excited about this morning's eBay score! Mus Super excited about this morning's eBay score! Musidora is a favorite #silentfilm era creative and personality. I have a small Musidora collection between discs, books, magazine articles, and ephemera. I'm going to get these framed and add them to my wall above my desk. Now I truly will have a wall of Musidora portraits and daily inspiration. An excellent early Valentine's Day present!

Here's a sneak peek of my #CreatureDoubleFeature / Here's a sneak peek of my #CreatureDoubleFeature / #Halloween-themed, #pinup photoshoot with Vintage Girl Studios. I had so much fun getting glammed up and posing/acting in Tyna's different sets. Did I actually make Murder Kitchen look wholesome? In a bit, I'll see the photographic results and choose my fave. More later then!
