Fashion: Day One, The Real Scene

For every eighty persons dressed in black, there are a few souls who dare to express who they are. Designer Dominique Blake was in L.A. with her best friend and model Gigi, who was wearing one of her creations. Dominique designs, makes and sells custom clothing at Reserved by Fashion Forward Boutique in Mount Vernon NY. Gigi is a criminal law student graduating this spring. She'll continue modeling as she embarks on her career.

Watch out for this duo: Mr.Mrs..... Howard Seth Cohen and Tawny Featherston are a wonderfully retro-hip and funky couple dressed in vintage and silk. They sported wedding rings that could double as brass knuckles. She has a store in Hollywood called Mr.Mrs, and has couture salons at their house each Sunday. I regret that I wasn't able to catch up to the fashion student trio who were decked out in punk meets Heidi outfits. Drop me a line, would you?

Meeting all these wonderful people reminds us writers ....what does your character wear? For inspiration, go to real life... you'll bypass all the tired character types we've seen too often.

Oooh, the best part of the whole experience -- the people!

I really loved the people I met. Mr.Mrs. have invited me to their salon this Sunday. I'll go. First I have to pick up my son from his job, then I'll go --provided my car is working that day. It's been really the pits as of late.
