Aloha!
Our dear friend Olivia De Berardinis is having a gallery show celebrating
the one and only Bettie Page in Hollywood and you're all invited!
Opening reception is Saturday night, May 2nd from 8-Midnight.
Show goes through May 29th.
She has asked us to contribute a couple of pieces along with
a few other artists and photographers. I've got a couple of Velvet Tiki Bettie paintings
that I'm finishing up and Claudette is working on some Bettie ceramic pieces.
It's gonna be a fun crazy show! Please check it out if you can!
We'd love to see ya there!
Mahalo!
P.S. I hear there will be a spanking machine at the show!...

I might attend this as well. We had the privilige to meet Olivia in Santa Monica, which I able to acquire her Bettie Page "Up Periscope" print. I have since acquired another of her prints titled "Crackers in Bed", which was an ebay buy, and not-so-mint in condition, but has Bettie and Olivias signatures on it. I've been a fan, but was unable to afford her art until the last three years or so...I wonder how parking is going to be in this area, though?

Awesome! There is a lot of parking lots around the area.
Behind the gallery, across the street behind geisha house, etc...
Of course it ain't free! Gonna be crazy!!!

Hi Everyone!
We just got back from the gallery and took a sneak peak
at all Olivia's new Bettie paintings... they are fantastic!
Plus all the other artists' work was really exciting too!
Also, we were told that there will be sexy girls running around
dressed as Bettie's from Olivia's paintings.
Nurse Betties and Cops!
Here is a preview of my sculpture and Jason's velvets
that are in the show. Also my buxom Bettie... that EXPLODED!
in the kiln... Waaaa so sad.

Hi Leleliz,
Thanks so much!
So glad you like my sculptures.
Yes, I was pretty sad about the big one blowing up.
I had worked on it for almost a month!
I love sculpting them so I will definitely be making a lot more.
and would love for you to own one!
Thanks!!

Hula AAAUUGGAA Lula!
Been wondering what you were up to. So sorry to hear about your loss 
Jason keeps us updated in the "Other Crafts" section, you need to post some pictures of your latest fantastic work over there too so they're not hidden over here.
