Great Gatsby Gala Costumes

At the end of May, my local opera company, Nevada Opera is hosting a 1920’s Great Gatsby Gala at the famous National Automobile Museum. There will be music, dancing, food and wine, and lots and lots of gorgeous cars on display! Its been an honor to be chosen to work with them both as the “costume consultant” and model for the publicity photos.

I thought you might like to see how some of the publicity photos turned out:

Thank you Luke Lord for your fantastic photography!

Can I take this car home with me? Please?
