ReVamped Queenie at Horseneck beach.
This week Revamped session was with the amazing model Queenie at Horseneck Beach Westport, Ma.
This session was inspired by photographer and model Bunny Yeager.
Born in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, U.S. Yeager became one of the most photographed models in Miami. After retiring from modeling, she began her career behind the camera. She met Bettie Page in 1954, and took most of the photographs of her that year.[1] Along with photographer Irving Klaw, Yeager played a role in helping to make Page famous, particularly with her photos in Playboy magazine.[1] Yeager is also credited with discovering the model Lisa Winters.[citation needed] Following Page's retirement, Yeager remained a successful photographer. She took the well-known still images of Ursula Andress on the beach in the 1962 James Bond film Dr. No, and discovered many other notable models.[1] In 1968 she played the role of a Swedish masseuse opposite Frank Sinatra in Lady In Cement.[1]
When I first started to really photograph Pin- up a few years ago in my searches I had come across Bunny Yeager's website.
At the time was was still working. I had order a bunch of her books and they all came signed. How amazing and what an inspiration. I still have her business card in a place or honor in my studio.

Cotton Club ReVamped
This week's Vintage Girl Studios ReVamped Session was inspired Harlem's Cotton Club.
The Cotton Club was a famous jazz music night club located in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City which operated from 1923 to 1940, most notably during America's Prohibition Era lasting from 1919 to 1933. The club was a white-only establishment even though it featured many of the greatest African American entertainers of the era including Fletcher Henderson, Duke Ellington, Adelaide Hall, Count Basie, Bessie Smith, Cab Calloway, The Nicholas Brothers, Lottie Gee, Ella Fitzgerald, Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, Josephine Baker and Ethel Waters. During its heyday, the Cotton Club served as a hip meeting spot featuring regular "Celebrity Nights" on Sundays which featured celebrity guests such as Jimmy Durante, George Gershwin, Sophie Tucker, Paul Robeson, Al Jolson, Mae West, Richard Rodgers, Irving Berlin, Eddie Cantor, Fanny Brice, Langston Hughes, Judy Garland, Moss Hart, and New York City Mayor Jimmy Walker, among others.

Titanic Weekend.
This past weekend I was not able to attend Titanic weekend with The Commonwealth Vintage Dancers due to other obligations with Krzystyna Harber Photography. I did however send our event photographer Liz Paonessa.
Here is the event in her own words.
I had the honor of photographing the Commonwealth Vintage Dancers’ Titanic Vintage Dance Weekend in Salem, Massachusetts. It was an amazing weekend to honor the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s ill-fated voyage. On Saturday I attended their formal tea luncheon at the gorgeous Hawthorne Hotel’s Grand Ballroom. I have never been to an event quite like this one! The period outfits immediately astounded me and I felt like I had gone back in time and was on the Titanic. Then I found out that many of the clothing and accessories were handmade! I had a great afternoon photographing everyone and meeting all the people in the Dancers. The crowd was made up of people from all over New England, from costume makers to re-enactors, teachers to everyday people.
In the evening there was a formal dinner and Grand Ball in the Colonial Hall at Rockafella’s. The live orchestra lit up the ballroom and had everyone dancing the night away. They performed Ragtime era dances headed by Barbara Pugliese as Dancemaster. Everyone was led in a group dance sequence, which was so much fun to photograph. There was a great mix of age groups with even teenagers dancing with humongous smiles on their faces. If I had thought the outfits at the Tea were amazing, the ones at the Ball blew me away! Exquisite ball gowns, tiaras, and large hats filled the room.
This weekend was a great experience and loved working with the Commonwealth Vintage Dancers. I hope to see their upcoming Newport Vintage Dance Week July 28 through August 4 where they will be at the finest ballrooms in Newport’s famous mansions! I also would love to see them in the studio!
