I'm so happy with how these turned out. I liked the pics from the previous blog post, but as you can see, these are 10x better! Dylan just got this new super fancy camera with like, 21 megapixels. Needless to say, we had a lot of fun shooting these....

50s stuff is getting harder to find. I used to specialise in it, but now the good stuff is few and far between. So I jumped at the chance to snatch these up!

This is all up for grabs on Ebay, fyi. Seller id 'knockoutvintageclothing' .
