When our friend and patron, Nicole came up with the idea for a "packaged meat" costume for Halloween 2010, we were totally up for the challenge of creating a one of a kind paper dress!
Inspired by this... we love www.superstock .com and thank them for the free image!
And with the help of this...
And a little of Nicole's special fake blood recipe... she was one sweet piece of meat!
This Saturday we spent the afternoon with two of our very favorite ladies... the lovely and talented Melissa Marth in front of the lens and the equally compelling and creative Corlene Byrd behind the lens.
Here's a teaser of what's to come...

We were looking for a Snow White type, willing to lie in the dirt and look etheral. Melissa made it better than we imagined.
Some brainstorms are like a chilly coastal city drizzle and others are more akin to a creative blizzard. Our Paper Doll shoot was definitely the later! We love presents... wrapping them in glossy holiday paper, unwrapping them in a flurry of ribbon and joy. We love parties... all year long but especially holiday parties, the kind where you have the chance to share the last moments of a good year with great friends. And what better way to celebrate our favorite time of year than with an inspired photoshoot featuring singer song writer Tracey Hope and our original gift paper party dresses!
And to all a good night! Photography/Corlene Byrd Styling & Design/Jennifer Henry & Flockflockflock Model/Tracey Hope
Our joint studio sale with capital h last Saturday was a success! They sold lots of art to local patrons and we hooked up our favorite Vegas Flockflockflockers with some spectacular vintage.
UNLV Women's Studies Professor, Lynn, has been a Ffflock customer since Spring and we love the way she saves her favorite vintage for special occasions... like this night out at the infamous Strip side Peppermill Las Vegas.
We ADORE her in this hot pink 70s flutter dress she picked up Saturday, especially against the iconic fuchsia velvet couches of Las Vegas' favorite latenight cocktail lounge!

This piece was inspired by a number of strange situational juxtapositions that have occurred over many months. The first was a conversation I had with Ryan Marth of The Big Friendly Corporation. We discussed a particular Kids in the Hall skit in which the same actor who plays the infamous Buddy Cole (KITH's Scott Thompson) declared "WE ARE ALL SAUSAGES!" Ryan had no recollection of this episode and some months later, when presented with the opportunity to purchase the complete collection of KITH on DVD he did so, which led to his inevitable encounter with the "Love and Sausages" skit previously discussed. Sometime later he lent me the DVD so I might better recall the details of the skit, of which I had only a hazy recollection from my adolescent years in front of the TV. Upon watching the episode I realized that the story was not, in fact, about sausages but it was a love story in which sausages were a gift of anonymous affection not unlike a valentine. On the same DVD was a unique Buddy Cole skit where we encounter the flamboyant bar owner perched upon a gravestone in a cemetery. In the monolog that follows, Buddy shares with us a celebratory remembrance of his late friend and a glimpse of the momento he left behind.
Aside from that, all of our contributors to the Flockflockflock “love you” cut and paste ZINE have an affinity for moustaches… Mathew Ward's heartfelt sentiment lies on the center of a face in his visual work “I hope you’re happy”, Michael Hsiung’s charming characters often sport ‘staches, Bryan Hainer’s own visage is home to the moustache’s more triumphant cousin the beard and I recently encouraged our designer Brian Henry to grow a moustache, which delighted Carrie Vail on her latest visit to Las Vegas.
We love Buddy Cole and we hope you do too. -Jennifer Henry Loves You

Flockflockflock knows times are hard in the world economy... Just today we saw some guy trying to sell the front wheel of his bike (we hope it was his bike), our 401K statement came in with lots of little red dashes all over it (we're not sure what that means but it doesn't seem promising), and unless the guy in the Wendy's drive-thru pulled a fast one on us, what used to be a 99¢ chocolate Frosty is now a $1.15 chocolate Frosty (still delicious however disappointingly inflated in price).
So we've decided to do our part to ease the economic pressures by giving away t-shirts! It's a radical plan but we really think it's going to work. Visit our friend local Las Vegas vintage store/art gallery The Gypsy Den and pick up your free FRANIKE SAYS JUST DO IT t-shirt! Supplies are limited, as is our gracious host's counter space, so boogie in this weekend and ask for your Flockflockflock t-shirt!
We're only promising to fix the global economic crisis, whether you look as good as DJs Remy the Restless and MDY while doing it is up to you...
P.S. Contribute to the Flockflockflock economic stimulus plan by purchasing a t-shirt or a piece of vintage from our Flockflockflock Etsy store, unless you blew all your allowance on expensive Frosties.
