Happy Holidays

I want to wish everyone a very happy and health holiday season. I am spending some time with my family in San Diego and finishing up some end of the year projects. This has been an incredible year and I want to  thank you all for your support and encouragement. We have a lot to look forward to in 2013 with the Advanced Style Documentary being entered into festivals and some other great new projects. Let's continue to dress up, celebrate, and show the world that style and creativity only get better with age.

A Painter's Life

Ilona Royce Smithkin Teaching Painting Classes in Provincetown(Still From The Advanced Style Documentary)

Lina just sent me this great still, from the Advanced Style Documentary, of Ilona teaching painting class at the Provincetown Art Museum. I can't wait until we can finally show everyone the full length documentary and share more of these wonderful ladies' stories with the world. Ilona is a wonderful painter and teacher whose work and living spaces are just as colorful  as the wonderful outfits she puts together everyday.
