Roller Skate Barbie

Steve Bennett asked me to be the wardrobe stylist for a Barbie shoot and I got Juelles Chester on board and he already had Patricia McQueen as the make-up artist. Queen and I both did the hair. This was so much fun even though I was 9 months pregnant.

White After Labor Day

Something that has bothered my for many years is this no white after labor day rule!!  First and foremost the white in the summer started in the early 20th century because white was a cooler color to wear in the heat and was  a lighter material.  But I say this... that just means that everyone is running around with stained up armpits of their clothing.  White in the summer does look great with a tan, but it also is stained very easy and sweat stains are gross and hard to get out.

The white rule was never really a rule just a bunch of followers being drones to what they read or gossip about.  White is a great color to wear anytime and only since 2004 these so called fashion rules have started to be broken.

Anyhoo, I love white in the winter, its very crisp like the snow :)

Eighteenth Street Lounge (ESL) photo shoot

Since I just started this blog, I really wanted to revisit some fantastic Booshie Design moments over the past two years, no better way to start then the Epic Eighteenth Street Lounge (ESL) shoot with photographer Tony Veloz, and yours truly Booshie Designs dressing the models in the latest creations I did at the time.  The Models:  Juelles Chester, Katelin Taylor, Cameron Coppini

Wow!  Just looking at the photos again I get all excited....it was a great shoot!!

Fun at the Playground Shoot

What an adventure....a photo shoot at a playground....

Model: Whitney Simone Hill
Photographer: Steve Bennett
Make-up Artist: Give Face Artistry

This was a short photo shoot and I was asked to pull together 2 looks and Steve wanted bright bold and colorful.

I think it turned out Booshie-riffic!!!

Pink Rocks The Runway, October 21, 2011

To say the least I (Ginger Carlin) was lucky to be a part of this incredible event.  Pink Rocks the Runway is a breast cancer benefit to raise awareness and support for breast cancer.  14 models all breast cancer survivors each were paired with a designer to design a dress for them to walk down the runway.

I was matched perfectly with Jennifer Kwiatek her story is courageous and touches the heart. Honored to have been one of the designers and to be paired with Jen here is the dress I designed A.K.A. Booshie Design for her.
