West Coast Photo Shoot News!
We are pleased to announce that in May during our West Coast Tour we will be doing a photo shoot with our friends at A Fine Tooth and Alissa Anderson. The folks at A Fine Tooth are custom tailors (fitted trousers, guaranteed to fit), and they also offer a selection of vintage wear -- all for men. Gillian and I will be wearing some of our own vintage frocks and sporting some new duds from vintage-inspired ladies' clothiers in SF Minnie Wilde. Without giving too much away, we'll be lounging about looking at trays of different moth species in the year 1973. Check our sites in summer '08 for the results and also a spread in the June issue of Hex Education.
