Vintage Chevy – Ocean Dr.
Ocean Drive is the heart of South Beach, a hip neighborhood known for the largest concentration of art deco architecture in the world. It’s about ten blocks of beachfront on one side, and fantastic art deco structures on the other. It’s a must see and do if you’re in Miami, Florida.
I couldn’t believe my luck to see this mint condition 1950’s Chevrolet Bel Aire, parked in front of a restaurant with matching umbrellas. Photo op!
Sorry I have not been posting much lately. I was in Florida last weekend, and leading up to my departure I was insanely busy. The pace has really picked up for me these past two weeks. Between working as a makeup artist (day player) on the television series, Dallas, plus working on the promos for TNT Drama, I’ve had very little spare time. What free time there was, I spent working with my designer on the new logo and header for Adventures of a Carry-on.
Last Wednesday I was working on Dallas, and we were filming outside at an electrical power station, on a lake, about five stories up in the air. I’m not sure what the exact temperature was, but the windchill made it feel like 20 degrees farenhiet – and most people think working on a television show is glamorous. With gale force winds whipping my hair around my face, my eyes watering, my nose running, and wearing a hard hat, I did not feel one little bit glamorous.
So imagine this, I’m carrying my working makeup kit, plus two “set kits” for the actors, wearing a hard hat, that keeps falling forward over my eyes, I’m standing on this platform, and I’m trying to keep my stuff from blowing away. I’m covering two of the key actors on the show, my set bag feels like it weighs twenty pounds, and my fingers are numb. There’s no place to go to get out of the wind either. Miami here I come!

I just got back from Florida on Tuesday night – a very short trip to the Miami/Ft.Lauderdale area, and I’m furiously editing and organizing photos for the blog. Here’s a sample of what I’ll be posting next week. I fell in love with the colors of South Beach. If you love architecture, art deco, or anything South Beach, do check back, as I’m sure to have it posted soon.
By the way, the new header for the blog is up now and I love it! The logo and final makeover should be complete by the end of February. I also want to say thank you to all of you who follow and support my blog. It’s been pretty cool reading your comments and watching the blog grow.
