Gene Goes To New York City, 1958

It took awhile, but I was finally able to obtain the Creme Suit from the 2005 Star Wardrobe separates collection. J'Adore is today's model, wearing the hat and holding the purse from the White and Floral Accessories set. She is standing in Times Square, circa 1958.



Gene changes her hairdo with a blonde Havana Nights wig cap from Jamieshow.

MORE Gene Marshall Star Wardrobe Separates

More from the 2005 Star Wardrobe Separates collection. For the life of me, I can't tie a decent bow, so this particular polka-dot blouse is a challenge! Anybody care to send me a clear diagram of how to tie this *#$%^ thing?!?



This is one that I loved in the publicity photo, but not quite as much in person; the fit of the pink jacket seems a little boxy in the shoulders, and the scale seems a bit large thanks to the size of the buttons and polka dots. Maybe if I could tie the bow on the blouse properly that would help!



For a film noir effect:



Modeling this outfit is Butterfly Shadow Gene.

Gene Marshall Star Wardrobe Separates

Mel Odom hit a home run with Gene Marshall; he created so many brilliant ideas that led to her success. In 2005, Star Wardrobe Separates were released. These "separates" allowed the creative collector to mix and match the different wardrobe pieces, thus making their own unique outfit. For quite some time I attempted to get this Pink Cardigan Sweater Set. It seemed so casually authentic; I could picture my mother wearing this one crisp autumn day just before winter hit. Not warm enough to turn on the heat, but definitely too cool to have the windows open.



This particular set came with the 2 pink sweaters; for this photo shoot, I added a gray skirt that was part of the Daily Threads gift set from the 2010 Convention.

Ivy in Lavender

Ivy Jordan is one of my favorite extra characters (even more so than Madra), but I rarely take her out. Today she steps out looking ready for Spring by donning a Star Wardrobe outfit.
