When Corgis Upstage…

Fiona also wants to be in the movies…testing wardrobe looks and fitting with one of the cast members, Brianna Young. πŸ˜†


From the Film Set – Days of Cactus and Calico

I have no idea what day it is but I think it’s halfway through…so happy to come home at night after being in Old West Somewhere all day. Living on Granola and Granny Smiths.


From the Film Set – At Gammon’s Gulch

The town scenes were filmed primarily at Gammon’s Gulch, about an hour from Tombstone. Here’s just a few:

And here’s a few wardrobe shots of our leading lady, Brianna Young:

For these scenes we got to be a little fancy… 😁


Off to No. 11 (Again)

Leavimg early in the am for three weeks at No. 11 for work, adventure, and sewing. Adam is joining us on the 20th, but until then…there will be chick food, Christmas movies, and hopefully a new bodice for me.


From the Atelier – What’s On 😎

We just want to apologize in advance for the somewhat intermittent nature of maintaining our blog but sometimes things get a bit more hectic in life that one would expect. Back in October we worked on The Seamstress, a sort of supernatural horror-Western set in Tombstone. During that time, we got another job for a Western, Billy the Kid: Blood & Vengeance which starts shooting on November 10. So basically it was leave Tombstone on October 29, head back to LA, rest briefly, prep for Billy- doing script break-downs and pulling wardrobe on November 4, and then off again to Arizona on November 7. Yep, it’s turn and burn time here at Lily Absinthe! 😁😜

Not that we’re complaining here… πŸ˜‰ it’s all good. Two different types of films, two very different sets of wardrobe (mostly). The nice thing is that we worked with a lot of the same people on the last production so we know all their sizes. Adam will be manning the office back in LA and then joining me later on to help with the production and help wrap out. Then it’s back to LA…we won’t be cooking Thanksgiving this year but we’ll be ordering a mean from a wonderful store so it’s all good. More later!

P.S. The above picture just shows the contrast in places that our work has take us to in the past eight years… 😁 😎
