I’m so excited! Angela of Dorothea’s Closet (she also has a physical vintage clothing store in downtown Des Moines) sent me an email about my The Retro Parisian Street Chic Of Irma La Douce post — here’s a reminder photo from that film:

Irma La Douce Street Chic

Here’s Angela’s email:

Hey there! I just started an ad campaign locally with a friend/model/artist after a photo shoot we did last week….inspired by seeing your post on your blog w/ pics of Shirley MacLaine in Irma La Douce! Actually, I need to add that to my own blog and link you now that I think of it.

Anyway, the pics are all located on my website www.thenoirboudoir.com (linked from that lingerie page by a pic of Emily at the top), attaching a few to titillate. Just thought you’d like to see what you inspired by sharing those awesome pics of Shirley!!

But before I show you some of them, I should tell you that the photos are of model and artist Emily Svec dressed perfectly Parisian street-chic in pretty vintage lingerie in shades of 1960s aqua! (Angela says the 60s babydoll will soon be added to her Etsy shop, Scarlet Bird — so if you’re drooling over it, keep checking or email Angela at admin@dorotheasclosetvintage.com!)  UPDATE: It’s just been added to her shop here!

And thanks, Angela, for letting me know — I hope the ad in Cityview works wonders for you! (It sure does for me!)

Here are just some of the fabulously new retro-styled photos that you can find from that photo session inspired by my post and Shirley MacLaine as Irma La Douce:
