Happy Birthday Hillary Clinton!

Today is Hillary's birthday, so raise your glasses everyone!
Here's a short slideshow by the H.C.A. of last year's celebration on "Hillary Clinton Island".
Happy Birthday, Hillary!

It's Official!

On this ( not so somber) day of Wednesday, October 14th, 2009, I have decided to Officially disband the Hillary Clinton Army.

Right now Hillary Clinton is somewhere on this planet promoting peace and diplomacy,

and we, the H.C.A., helped make this happen!

Many, many thanks to all of you, dear friends, for marching every step of the way with the H.C.A.!

From our beginnings, where you helped get me to a luncheon to make our presence known to Hillary,

to all the super-fun art projects,

happenings, and parties that we threw.

The awesome and ridiculous concepts we dreamed up...

and then made happen on the Global stage.

We made dreams a reality, and then some!

I never would have dreamed I'd find myself sitting with Bill Clinton and watching the debates!

We crossed paths with lots of stars along the way, like Rob Reiner,

Jason Jones of the Daily Show....

Ted Danson,

Terry McAuliffe,

Chelsea Clinton,

and the whole Clinton family!

We played on Hillary Clinton Island for Hillary's birthday,

and traveled the world with the Art Envoys.

We definitely made more fun Pantsuit art projects than anyone on earth....

what a blast this has been!

Now, after way too much Pantsuitin' fun, this Pantsuit and I are thinking it's time to split!

So after over two years, thousands of pieces of Hillart, thousands of blog posts, art shows, fashion shows, Pantsuit art, wonderful adventures etc......I move on to new adventures.

No adventure is fun alone, so I hope you will join me.

Thank you H.C.A., friends and supporters of the H.C.A., and most of all, thanks to Hillary Clinton, for being an unending source of inspiration and light.

Happy Anniversary Hillary and Bill!

Today is Hillary and Bill Clinton's 34th wedding Anniversary!

Hillary doesn't have time to celebrate no squaresville anniversary though, as she's just touched down in Swinging London!

She's a mod, mad and totally switched-on bird making the scene in Turned-on London!

Like Wow!Pow!

(Actually she's hard at work, but that isn't nearly as interesting)

Take it, Lynn Redgrave...

Light-tricking Pantsuits

Today I'm thinking about clothing in terms of what kind of shadow you cut.

You should always consider your shadow, don't you think?

Everyone already knows that the purple Pantsuit is the shape-shifter. Unless you are trying to fool your own shadow, this one should be approached with caution.

Shape-shifting, shadow-casting, light-tricking Pantsuits.

This is what I'm thinking about today....

light, shadow, and air.

The UV Pantsuit

I finally got back in the studio today, and let me say I'm feeling rusty with the old paint brush.

Here's a couple of paintings I did today while I thought about.....wait for it....

Nancy Sinatra and the UV Pantsuit.

I've put myself on a diet of strictly Nancy Sinatra, nothing else shall pass these ears.

I like the idea of designing UV Pantsuits and cool UV clothes... the ultimate in Lady's protection.

They must however, pass one vital test from the get-go...

COULD NANCY ROCK IT? If not.... it's back to the drawing board for this gal!

Here's another taste of Nancy.....

Love her! I'm thinking Hillary should do something fun about now like make a music video or have her own T.V. show.

All this endless war and diplomacy stuff... hardly any fun at all!

Does anyone agree with me here?

Persephone

I call this Pantsuit "Persephone".

It's very Autumnal, reminds me of hell, and makes me want to eat pomegranates.

Go figure.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry bomb!

Today's red hot pantsuit is by "Sun City".

But I like to call it "Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb"!

Lady Marmalade

It's taken me a mere two years to discover an evil little button on my camera they call the "self-timer". This may turn me into a real monster.

Run! Hide! This could get ugly! Oh wait a minute, it already is!

This Pantsuit is by "Koret of California".

Judging by the big white stitching on the lapels it was made around 1975.

Due to it's special orange color and era, I'm going to call this one "Lady Marmalade".

Never mind the pantless Pantsuit, the wave of the Pantsuit future is right here on Labelle!
