Palm Springs Pin-up Girl
I love Film Noir type films and classic cinema.Back in the glamour days The Rat Pack, and most of my famous classic cinema stars I adore so much had homes in Palm Springs where they would often escape the hustle and bustle of Hollywood and take refuge here. I personally find the Palm desert and desert landscapes to be very pretty. One of my favorites is Joshua Tree park http://www.nps.gov/jotr/index.htm Quick sidestep : In 2008 when I felt I had enough of my Hollywood life (for like a week) I checked into the We Care Health Spa in Desert Hot Springs. I thought “oh eight days with no food and people, colonics, tonics, infrared sauna, and meditating is like SO what I need”. I guess it was. I felt better in some ways and definitely had a clearer perspective! In 2012 I did a photoshoot for Pin -up Girl Clothing http://pinupgirlclothing.com a beautiful elegant brand of retro style clothing created by Laura Byrnes based in Burbank California. We were to shoot in Palm Springs at the Riviera Resort hotel http://rivierahotel.comand it was just lovely. I love modeling, it’s actually my first love and if you can believe I started my career with my clothes on! Such beautiful clothing I had a blast. My favorite dress to wear was The Lorelei which was inspired by Marilyn Monroe in Gentleman prefer Blondes. The resort itself is very pretty and I’m not even exaggerating they had the BEST fish tacos! I had them every meal. In palm springs… at the Riviera… who knew?? Not the best model diet but hey I’m in clothes… so eat up right!!! The photos were featured on Pin Up girl’s website. I was invited back for New Years 2013 to do a feature burlesque show with some of the other models and did a few other appearances and shows with PUG… It was a lovely experience. I can’t recommend much for Palm Springs. I did find the Riviera to be lovely and the service was outstanding. I had a delicious dinner at http://roosterandthepig.com it’s Vietnamese and they have a good cocktail list. Kings Highway http://kingshighwaydiner.com had good food and I liked the atmosphere I did find some country western shops because my sister LOVES this stuff She’s a little bit country and I am VERY Rock and Roll.. actually I am Metal lol and I found her a beautiful pink pair of cowgirl boots. I am that weirdo who buys gifts year round like yes I do my Christmas and birthday shopping early and just hide and save it I am actually planning a desert trip this Christmas when I going back to Cali so maybe I will get through palm Springs again!!
