We had so much fun on this shoot! This was Eileen’s first time modeling, if you can believe that, and she looks like she was born on in front of the camera. Crystal (of Article Salon in Roseville) did some amazing things with Eileen’s asymmetrical platinum coif. The too adorable Tyler & Christina took my left-field neo-noir ideas and made beautiful art out of them. Christina also rocked the makeup and brought out the luminescence of Eileen’s skin. Tracy of Vintage Found did such a great job finding 80s vintage inspired by 40s futurism that my styling job was hardly a job at all. Skills! Thunderhorse Vintage provided the blue/black jumpsuit and the amazing sequin blouse (which totally reminds me of this cyberpunk gypsy dress from the Glamourai). Thanks all! I am THRILLED with the results!
Also, please take note that two items from the last PHDC photoshoot , found here and here, are up for auction at the amazing Market Publique (exclusive auctions for only the best vintage! Prices are easy on the eyes too!) at a fraction of their original prices. Calm down, ladies.

I think this post proves that you are going to be the next Grace Coddington. Look out, Vogue! Look out, Hollywood! Eileen looks gorgeous, the clothes are stunning, and the make-up and hair, oh my! The green dress is to-die-for. I’d love to strut into the bar at The Beverly Hills Hotel wearing that backless jumpsuit. “All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up…”
BTW, America’s Next Top Model can kiss my ass. Eileen’s first time? Amazing.
what a pretty, pretty girl! First modeling? No way! She’s a natural. :]

Niiiice, I love the one with the red jacket, and that black jumpsuit is supafly!! This looks like it was a fun day full of glamour.
Beautiful girl. Beautifully done, my daughter. Love the fashion, LOVE the Art Deco jewelry. Birthday coming up, if it doesn’t sell, hint, hint…..:)
oh god she’s gorgeous. this turned out so well. amazing.
Gorgeous! Thanks for including bigger models on your site!
Great pics!
OMG what a babe! She reminds me of those old Opium ads with Sophie Dahl in them. What is the tattoo of on her collar bone?
Oh and minus zero per cent chance you’ll post internationally? Cause I live in Ireland and I would totally buy the fur coat, it’s sicko! Love it.
PS. Did a little write up on the shoot on my blog. Check it out here… http://opheliaford.blogspot.com/2009/04/dark-beauty.html

Wow! This is absolutelly gorgeous! Is size 10-12 is considered large?
Love the gal and the clothes, but why does it say “Plus Size Vintage Model” in the header on my browser? Would you ever say “Model With Big Nose” or “Fake Breasted Vintage Model” or “Black Vintage Model”? Just sayin, I think she’s doing a flippin’ great job and not sure why she should be relegated to some special category because she is a whopping size 10-12. IMHO!
Hi Kimberly,
Thanks so much for your feedback.
You are correct, my model did do a flippin great job and does not need to be relegated to a category. In fact she was the only model I could have ever imagined for that shoot! Her personal style even inspired it.
The heading was simply for search engine purposes, in case someone was searching for plus size vintage, which from my experience is tough to find. I’m sorry if my search engine optimization offended you.
All gorgeous.

I swear I was on here yesterday & you had the pic of your leather shorts up!
I’m so in love w/them that I had to show my friend, she looked at me crazy when I said “these leather shorts were SOOO cute!” lol
Where’d they go?
Can you repost them? I’d appreciate it!

Hi Brandy,
