Forgive me as I’m still catching up on events from last month! February was a short month, but a busy one. A couple weeks ago we attended my favorite event of the whole year – the Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942 at Ft. MacArthur. As you can see from the line up of sunglasses below, this year was especially gorgeous – I didn’t even wear my 1938 coat because it was so warm, darn it.

I wore an oldie but a goodie – I made my dress a few years ago for the Air Raid, and I think I’ve worn it at least 3 times to the event but never got any really good photos. It’s wool crepe with long sleeves, so it keeps me warm on the beach in February, but is too warm to wear to anything else.

I had a bit of a panic attack over my hair, which is too short and cut wrong for 40’s (First World Problems, I know). I got a beret, slapped some feathers and a brooch on it, and did some curl fluff around the ears – turned out rather okay! whew.

Michael and Cait – I had more fun editing this photo than any others. Aren’t they smashing?

This star was only about 2 feet off the ground, so getting the photo was pretty funny. 🙂 The boys nearby thought I was crazy when I announced I “needed a picture with my head in the star”.

Another Los Angeles landmark, the Griffith Observatory.

but I grabbed him for a couple photos throughout the event
