IGOR & ANDRE...








I stumbled acrossed Danny Roberts work while browsing blogs. I loved many of his sketches and paintings...and how he was blog documenting the developments of his techniques. See more of "Igor & Andre" here.

BUTCH DIVA FLASHBACK...

Diggin in the crates...and I come across one of my favorite BUTCH DIVA shots from a photo shoot in Williamsburg last summer...

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION >>> AND THIS IS WHY.

So just to give you a quick rundown - Toni approached me after Tiara's fashion show at Frank White about 2 weeks ago because she wanted the BUTCH DIVA red and black hounds tooth jacket - like badly! - but since most samples are currently only made-to-order, I had to give her my contact so she can follow up to have it custom made. And follow up she did. Toni came over the studio the other day for a fitting and we chit chatted a bit...sweet girl with big dreams and a positive head on her shoulders...

I woke up to this email this morning, and was reminded of Why...

"Hi Tiffany LaStar,

My goodness things were crazy this weekend! Even as I write this email, I am in the midst of the craziness. All in all, things are good and I hope this email meets you in good spirits as well.

I want to say thank you for allowing me to listen to your story about the beginnings of the Butch Diva enterprise. I enjoyed it. It is always inspiring to see women who are in charge and taking care of business. Plus you are a great story teller...very engaging. I hope that one day my story will be able to inspire others too...

Toni Bee"

VINTAGE x BUTCH DIVA.

Tiara Chameleon successfully put her styling talents to use when she decided to host a fashion show at Frank White, mixing personal vintage finds from her closet with BUTCH DIVA. The turn out was a good look and the inspiration well taken!

























SAY YOUR GRACE.

FRIENDS GET MORE INTIMATE WITH AGE...

...Recently celebrated the birthday of one of my dear homies Albana a.k.a Mujaj! As much as I tease her about the non-stop party life and scheduling quality time into her Blackberry, it was cool to see her try something new this year - an intimate gathering at her place in BK, where I re-connected with peeps from college and stuffed my face till I could no longer keep my eyes open! Who let me sit at the snack table??? My stomach swole up so bad, I started to look like I was eating for two - ha! But have no fear, no knock ups here! lol.
