I just wanted to pop in and let ya'll know that I do the majority of my "blogging" on tumblr now, which you can see here: <a href="https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kool-schmool">https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kool-schmool</a><br />
<br />
if you don't have tumblr don't worry, you can still follow it via google reader, or by subscribing to the RSS feed. To follow on google reader, just hit that subscribe button when your logged into your reader profile, paste this into the box: <a href="https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kool-schmool">https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kool-schmool</a> , and hit "Add". then you will be able to see all my daily postings right there with the rest of the stuff you follow...<br />
<br />
So there you go, it's as easy as eating ice cream.<br />
also, please don't forget to like the MLNW page on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/MakeLoveNotWar/156850344347549">https://www.facebook.com/pages/MakeLoveNotWar/156850344347549</a><br />
<br />
and tell all your friends. SPREAD the good word, we've got major announcements coming up and MLNW is for EVERYONE. not just the ladies... New shoots/Collections/Shows/etc coming SOON.... keep in touch. and thank you very very much for all your love & support....<br />

Thanks to Joe Nolan the wonderful director, editor, and scout for finding me and making this happen. I couldn't have asked for more with the way it turned out and am so lucky to have so much support and love in my life. After seeing this, I am super stoked to start pumping out the new years collections... xo<br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/35288126?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/35288126">MLNW</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user10066928">VIMBY</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br />Special thanks to Joe Nolan, Jean Candido, Natalie Opsitnick, Amber Danese Grandfield, Christie Eastburn, Sheena, Jeanne Haselier, Darshana Borah, and everyone else who loves and supports my dream of making cool clothes.</p><p>I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and wish everyone a bright new year</p><p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gTXZcPeB5Rs/TwU5FMz7xsI/AAAAAAAABaQ/VJt8UUEP86o/s1600/new-year-post-card3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 542px; height: 291px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gTXZcPeB5Rs/TwU5FMz7xsI/AAAAAAAABaQ/VJt8UUEP86o/s400/new-year-post-card3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694020065381041858" border="0" /></a></p><p><br /></p>Cool Schmoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06824059444250518739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256950207452429437.post-9309314830647920192011-12-30T00:24:00.000-08:002011-12-30T10:49:39.208-08:00Thank you 2011I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Use the promo code "HOLIDAY" upon <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/mlnw">etsy checkout</a> instead of wasting your time in line at a store.<br />This collection was inspired by the poetic realities of urban living during the desolate winter months. Most people consider the city as a lifeless cold hearted place to exsist during the holidays. MLNW likes to think otherwise. The city comes alive during the coldest time of year. Especially in Philadelphia... The mummers usher in a new year with insane energy (and costumes). While south philly, old city, and northern liberties are a flutter with thriving independent businesses. It's a beautifully inspiring scene I'm learning to appreciate more and more.<br /><br />all photos by: <a href="http://longwaytothesea.tumblr.com/">Darshana Borah</a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XMR6j4Znc-I/Tsv4KPNvutI/AAAAAAAABPw/hi_wlU_7vQ0/s1600/velvetdress.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 459px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XMR6j4Znc-I/Tsv4KPNvutI/AAAAAAAABPw/hi_wlU_7vQ0/s400/velvetdress.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677904609997208274" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fca5UQOEkRE/Tsv4KYthXNI/AAAAAAAABP8/1a7hQA1gHXk/s1600/melody.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 459px; height: 198px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fca5UQOEkRE/Tsv4KYthXNI/AAAAAAAABP8/1a7hQA1gHXk/s400/melody.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677904612546403538" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q5Gwe3oB2xw/Tsv4KuYWUbI/AAAAAAAABQE/--aJBBTJizk/s1600/blueskirt.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 458px; height: 196px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q5Gwe3oB2xw/Tsv4KuYWUbI/AAAAAAAABQE/--aJBBTJizk/s400/blueskirt.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677904618363179442" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QNQ6Rql38qQ/Tsv4K9yZ1MI/AAAAAAAABQY/siyB4deKPGE/s1600/spook.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 459px; height: 205px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QNQ6Rql38qQ/Tsv4K9yZ1MI/AAAAAAAABQY/siyB4deKPGE/s400/spook.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677904622498993346" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tRBP6iuTk1o/Tsv4L7UHGgI/AAAAAAAABQk/CvBFTtv-WIA/s1600/mlnw%2Bfw2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 457px; height: 457px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tRBP6iuTk1o/Tsv4L7UHGgI/AAAAAAAABQk/CvBFTtv-WIA/s400/mlnw%2Bfw2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677904639014935042" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mUXHahzSumc/Tsv4s-3EzrI/AAAAAAAABQs/TLPbvBdSSIU/s1600/6355339695_6a6a352357_o.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 454px; height: 357px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mUXHahzSumc/Tsv4s-3EzrI/AAAAAAAABQs/TLPbvBdSSIU/s400/6355339695_6a6a352357_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677905206902574770" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CE_Ho4YKwyE/Tsv66ZzuJDI/AAAAAAAABRE/4079_jHFJN4/s1600/tumblr_lurvtaeg3h1r5gbo8o1_1280.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 454px; height: 454px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CE_Ho4YKwyE/Tsv66ZzuJDI/AAAAAAAABRE/4079_jHFJN4/s400/tumblr_lurvtaeg3h1r5gbo8o1_1280.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677907636497818674" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7KFCv_-FhOk/Tsv4tZ0qpyI/AAAAAAAABQ8/H2dLrQ2c9qE/s1600/anti1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 452px; height: 555px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7KFCv_-FhOk/Tsv4tZ0qpyI/AAAAAAAABQ8/H2dLrQ2c9qE/s400/anti1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677905214140229410" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Cool Schmoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06824059444250518739noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256950207452429437.post-72654481228681731382011-11-16T12:14:00.000-08:002011-11-16T12:33:58.302-08:00ITEM OF THE WEEK<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HEjvfDnZ4Fk/TsQbn9KNxmI/AAAAAAAABN0/-wY-av67F9I/s1600/sun26sm.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 331px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HEjvfDnZ4Fk/TsQbn9KNxmI/AAAAAAAABN0/-wY-av67F9I/s400/sun26sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675691803639924322" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Holiday season is almost here. yes I said it.

Jen was our gracious host and fabulous stylist for our shoot at Rocky Springs Park in Lancaster PA. It was truly a dream to be shooting on the grounds of an abandoned amusement park that had been in operation from 1890-1981. There were plenty of old windows to spy in, trails to follow, and even broken down roller coaster cars from the wildcat coaster (1928) to play on. Our theme was inspired by the roaring 20's vibe of the park itself and Jen's super wardrobe selection (check out her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SallyJaneVintage?ref=pr_shop">etsy</a> for sweet vintage finds you can own). I had so much fun spending the day in the fresh air and playing dress up at this hidden historical site. Major thanks (and props) to <a href="http://amberdanese.com/">Amber</a> for her wonderful "eye" behind the camera, and <a href="http://sallyjanevintage.blogspot.com/">Jen</a><a href="http://sallyjanevintage.blogspot.com/">nifer</a> for pulling amazing outfits that every girl should own and treasure.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WeHphaoOjmI/TbNg7f-qMiI/AAAAAAAAA8I/8iy8UHGyhRI/s1600/DSC_1416_5x7.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WeHphaoOjmI/TbNg7f-qMiI/AAAAAAAAA8I/8iy8UHGyhRI/s400/DSC_1416_5x7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598925337064518178" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2B9ZeNrA8Sk/TbNhDfxZp7I/AAAAAAAAA8Q/7x2tdz7HhvE/s1600/DSC_1429_5x7.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2B9ZeNrA8Sk/TbNhDfxZp7I/AAAAAAAAA8Q/7x2tdz7HhvE/s400/DSC_1429_5x7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598925474447861682" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Cool Schmoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06824059444250518739noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256950207452429437.post-1626025763588722152011-04-17T19:03:00.000-07:002011-04-17T19:27:39.381-07:00A New Blue Velvet<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2sZNqOERbbo/Taud5Mw9GnI/AAAAAAAAA7A/ZvhJTY3F1Jg/s1600/IMG_9772sm.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 489px; height: 326px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2sZNqOERbbo/Taud5Mw9GnI/AAAAAAAAA7A/ZvhJTY3F1Jg/s400/IMG_9772sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596740567942634098" border="0" /></a><br />photos: John Rozier<br />styling: Melanie Gershman<br />model: Sarah Muhl<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Kf68pbNd9XA/TaudKbL1lKI/AAAAAAAAA6g/-SZzMwLE3F0/s1600/sm1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 330px; height: 494px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Kf68pbNd9XA/TaudKbL1lKI/AAAAAAAAA6g/-SZzMwLE3F0/s400/sm1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596739764359632034" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xzGnd3YGxWI/TaudBPUbYRI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/96keNQtxP3E/s1600/sm2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 333px; height: 494px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xzGnd3YGxWI/TaudBPUbYRI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/96keNQtxP3E/s400/sm2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596739606555615506" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CVorbtDDnIs/TauddTnxzxI/AAAAAAAAA6o/UNUZqJNh4VU/s1600/IMG_9667sm.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 333px; height: 497px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CVorbtDDnIs/TauddTnxzxI/AAAAAAAAA6o/UNUZqJNh4VU/s400/IMG_9667sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596740088746856210" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NX3mgZ1E5uo/TaudlwMKbFI/AAAAAAAAA6w/c392BFiCr5E/s1600/IMG_9750.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 332px; height: 495px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NX3mgZ1E5uo/TaudlwMKbFI/AAAAAAAAA6w/c392BFiCr5E/s400/IMG_9750.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596740233854610514" border="0" /></a><br />(check out mel's sweet rodarte shoes!)<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OmX3ZGBVDeY/Taudyrf-eQI/AAAAAAAAA64/Vl8VLatVlBU/s1600/sm4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 328px; height: 490px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OmX3ZGBVDeY/Taudyrf-eQI/AAAAAAAAA64/Vl8VLatVlBU/s400/sm4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596740455933835522" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"></div><div style="text-align: center;" id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Cool Schmoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06824059444250518739noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256950207452429437.post-47779497476102882202011-04-10T15:33:00.000-07:002011-04-11T20:42:08.659-07:00Things for AnitaHere are some photos of recent things custom made and repaired for one of my best clients. The first was actually 2 identical dresses she found and wanted me to fix up. One dress was turned into a jacket while the other just needed a few minor alterations (some sizing/hem adjustments). It's safe to say that after mastering this project, I can (and will) add sleeves to pretty much anything!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mZyjjsrGghI/TaIyVewpK4I/AAAAAAAAA5I/QXVOa0z8-AE/s1600/DSCN7668.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 253px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mZyjjsrGghI/TaIyVewpK4I/AAAAAAAAA5I/QXVOa0z8-AE/s400/DSCN7668.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594089031763307394" border="0" /></a>(the original dress after alterations)<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-op0D1Rc93d0/TaIyiCs73UI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/UHYnkUFivD0/s1600/DSCN7669.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-op0D1Rc93d0/TaIyiCs73UI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/UHYnkUFivD0/s400/DSCN7669.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594089247569861954" border="0" /></a>(custom made jacket out of the 2nd dress)<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dKkm3959sLc/TaIyd1JtrZI/AAAAAAAAA5Q/eBbPJelOofQ/s1600/DSCN7670.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dKkm3959sLc/TaIyd1JtrZI/AAAAAAAAA5Q/eBbPJelOofQ/s400/DSCN7670.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594089175212993938" border="0" /></a>(back view of jacket)<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CPhICMx5fdM/TaIy0u5Nl9I/AAAAAAAAA5o/klk0msu0n5M/s1600/DSCN7664.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CPhICMx5fdM/TaIy0u5Nl9I/AAAAAAAAA5o/klk0msu0n5M/s400/DSCN7664.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594089568670160850" border="0" /></a>(close up of the sleeve)<br /><br />The following photos are from a corset I made out of a ball gown Anita had. The bottom of this top was 3 layers of ruffled silk taffeta that was unfortunately damaged beyond repair. I suggested we restore the top half of the gown so she can wear with slacks or a skirt. The finished piece was a beautiful embellished corset with no stone left unsewn.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GblxebM6qwg/TaI1LfEsQ1I/AAAAAAAAA6A/iJRj9E-cwtU/s1600/DSCN7672.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GblxebM6qwg/TaI1LfEsQ1I/AAAAAAAAA6A/iJRj9E-cwtU/s400/DSCN7672.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594092158583587666" border="0" /></a>(brand new corset!)<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fWtnOw2K1kI/TaI1T1j3mRI/AAAAAAAAA6I/NUi4jRPPwhE/s1600/DSCN7674.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fWtnOw2K1kI/TaI1T1j3mRI/AAAAAAAAA6I/NUi4jRPPwhE/s400/DSCN7674.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594092302058887442" border="0" /></a>(close up of repaired sequins and blind hem)<br /><br />next on the sewing schedule, fixing up my mound of thrift store finds for spring<br /><br /><br /><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Cool Schmoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06824059444250518739noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256950207452429437.post-31060641868634655122011-04-02T10:47:00.000-07:002011-04-02T11:32:14.190-07:00We NVR SleepI did a shoot for my good friend Sarah's new jewelry line <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/wenvrsleep">We Never Sleep</a> a few weeks ago.

I used the extra fabric to make a bolero jacket, and replaced all the tiny sequins that had fallen off throughout the years.<br /><br />This Piece was a lot of hard work, but I'm proud to say she loved it.<br />It was also my first time making a bolero with a super high couture collar.<br /><br />What do you think?<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yKc3Q9kqnTE/TUJs7Di-20I/AAAAAAAAAzk/_DV_nFOtMqA/s1600/DSCN7584.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yKc3Q9kqnTE/TUJs7Di-20I/AAAAAAAAAzk/_DV_nFOtMqA/s400/DSCN7584.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567131851203468098" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yKc3Q9kqnTE/TUJtHyKulTI/AAAAAAAAAzs/tQ_RCnYfmSo/s1600/DSCN7592.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yKc3Q9kqnTE/TUJtHyKulTI/AAAAAAAAAzs/tQ_RCnYfmSo/s400/DSCN7592.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567132069876634930" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yKc3Q9kqnTE/TUJtoihE0YI/AAAAAAAAAz0/9pv2ASGi3UE/s1600/withwithout.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 264px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yKc3Q9kqnTE/TUJtoihE0YI/AAAAAAAAAz0/9pv2ASGi3UE/s400/withwithout.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567132632611082626" border="0" /></a><br />backside with the train and without...<br />and a close up of the sequins below.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yKc3Q9kqnTE/TUJvYJ-qzKI/AAAAAAAAA0E/gF3oU8iRhPk/s1600/DSCN7593.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 291px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yKc3Q9kqnTE/TUJvYJ-qzKI/AAAAAAAAA0E/gF3oU8iRhPk/s400/DSCN7593.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567134550169668770" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />this weekends agenda: MOVING!<br /><br /><br /><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Cool Schmoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06824059444250518739noreply@blogger.com2
