✨✨ The runway was aglitter with the glamour of the Art Gowns modelled by some of the Coop’s most gorgeous Chicklets. ✨✨
“Good evening! My name is VIRGINIA, and I had the honour of being first onto the runway begowned in Empress D’Amore“
“Off the top, I’d like to thank the original Empress D’Amore for being here with me tonight. Together the Empress and I will be discussing the highlights of the Hallowe’en Fashion Show at the Coop.”
“Thank you, Empress!”
Hello Virginia, and the pleasure is all mine! Let me just say, in my most humble opinion, that yours was the most regal Art Gown in the show!
“I won’t argue that! Now, on with the show!”
Presenting: MIA in Mystic Lake
“So Empress, what can you tell the folks at home about Mystic Lake?
Well, Virginia, she was inspired by ducks, specifically a ceramic duck created by Belén Soto
“So, are those feathers I see?”
They are faux feathers made from hours and hours of hand shredding an over-dyed cotton gauze.
“Fascinating”
Presenting: INA in Athena ⭐️Graffiti Goddess⭐️
“Do my eyes deceive me? Is this Art Gown entirely hand painted?”
Yes, Virginia! She took 6 months to paint. She is covered in Tarot and Astrology symbols that relate to the Goddess Athena.
“I supposed Aquileana helped Resa with that.”
It is Obvious, isn’t it!
Presenting: LACY in Mnemosyne
“Ah, Mnemosyne, mother of The Nine Muses.”
That’s right, Virginia! A statuesque beauty in anyones books.
“So does Aquileana help Resa with all of the Goddesses?”
So far, yes. According to Resa, she is very inspired to make Goddess Art Gowns.
Presenting: ISABELLE in Tenesa
“Hmm, how did this …erm.. gown get into the world of Art Gowns?”
Don’t be too, harsh on her. She really is quite modern, in a street way. She’s an alley rescue, you know.
“From the alley?”
Yes, Resa insisted on making her an Honorary Art Gown. One day it’s a cat rescued from the alley, the next day it’s a rescued gown.
⭐️ 💥 ⭐️ BEHIND THE SCENES ⭐️ 💥 ⭐️
” Last week, The Empress and I got a special behind the scenes peek.”
Virginia, it was a thrill to see the skilled & talented Chicklets working the art.
“Let’s take it away!”
IRIS – Working on Lady Anne
“Well, she’s a wild one! Kind of rock and roll.”
Some say steam punk, others say she’s a biker gown.
“She appears to be all leather & lace.”
It’s up-cycled leather, from Resa’s boyfriend’s old leather coat and pants.
“She looks familiar?”
Yes, Holly modelled this Art Gown for one of Resa’s sketches, recently.
LOIS & LILY pinning the flowers on Flora Blanca
“Flora Blanca seems to be one of the more popular Art Gowns.”
True, she is quite the refined Art Gown, made for Resa’s niece, Sherrie, and you know, people love flowers!
“Where can the fans see more of Flora Blanca and the other Art Gowns?”
All one has to do is scroll down the Art Gowns sidebar. When you find the gown you love, just click on it. It will take you to the original post.
Well, Empress, it’s been a wonderful evening!” 💖
Yes it has, Virginia! I’m hoping we get to host another event very soon. Perhaps, a Red Carpet!💖

I found an old sketch in my archives, that I remember fondly. It was done for an interview to design the costumes for A House Divided, a Showtime Feature.
