Studio Fun!

 Aloha guys n' gals!

Well, it's been a while since I've updated our trusty followers on the goings on at HC headquarters, so allow me to give you a little visual tour of our studio! The ever-so-dashing-and-darling Sven Kovac  took these behind the scenes shots of a typical working day featuring the divine Ms. Taylor, the fabulously efficient William Lazootin and yours truly. 

I don't mean to brag, (but I will anyways! tee hee!) working here has been SUCH a Joy (pun intended). I find myself constantly surrounded by beautiful people, from our customers and followers to HC staff; and of course our RIDICULOUSLY generous lady-boss-in-charge, Joy.
The studio is full of good vibes, beautiful fabric, hawaiian music and cups of tea, so we want to share what a working day is like for us, and maybe one day you can come in for a fitting and join us! (We love visitors, just as much as we like to procrastinate!)

Have a lovely week my beauties,
and remember to spread the love!

-Marie :D xoxo

All the pretty frocks!


I.T support. (God help us all)

No snoozin' for Latoozin. Such a hard worker!

Most likely gassbagging.

oohhh, special orders!

Just another day of designin'

Deadbeat party

Last Wednesday night was so much fun. Deadbeat magazine put on a fab party at The Vangard in Newtown. My daughter/model Ginger and I flew up for the party were happy we did. Everyone was there even our girl Stav who we hadn't seen since she left H.C.H.Q a few months ago. My son Eddy and his adorable girlfriend Lucy.
Highlights of the night were of course our favourite pin up girl Sabina Kelley signing autographs and looking stunning in a Wheels and Doll frock she had bought that day. Sailor Jerry Rum was on tap, lucky we got there early, Sailor Jerry Rum guy was VERY cute. Erin from Poco Rojo pictures was there looking fab as always, Burlesque Queen  Kitty Van Horne, who gave us a lift home ( thanks Kitty. )
Pete from Deadbeat's band played first up to get everyone in the mood, then the Sin and Tonics and last of all Pat Cappoci. Stav, Ging and I danced the night away with all our fave pin up girls. It was lovely to meet Lucy Topp, Bec and Jeff from Bexterity pin up photography. The Snowdropper boys were all there and are about to start their American tour so we wish them all luck.
Sarah and Pete creators of Deadbeat magazine are the best people I know in this industry we love them to bits, so happy we flew up, it was a hellava party.
