Tell us a little about yourself! (details or get declined)
Born and raised in Brooklyn NY, I was inspired by the lifestyle at a young age being glued to episodes of The HoneyMooners and I love Lucy as well as having a father who had an obssesion with Elvis and spent his every moment trying to make me undertstand why he was King (HAHA). As I got older my appreciation grew for women of the 40’s and 50’s because they always exuded beauty, style and grace.

Later on I spent 6 years raising hell in Las Vegas, which opened my eyes wider the first year I attended Viva Rockabilly Weekend. It wasn’t until I moved to Omaha, Nebraska that I now call home that I fully live and breathe the lifestyle.

My husband and I own and operate "The Lab", a custom tattoo art and piercing parlor beautifully decorated in nothing but vintage. In addition to my full-time bookkeeping job and full time parent to 2 teenage girls, (I am a busy woman!) I work in front of and behind the camera, both as a part time pinup up model and a hair and make-up artist, assisting a local studio with their boudoir and pinup shoots. Modeling has been a dream for me and I am enjoying every single minute of it!!!!

I have a long time passion for car shows, which I try to attend as much as possible, rockabilly's, pinup art, red lips, watching swing dancing brings me a joy inside I cannot explain, polka dots, blasting some music Dion & the Belmonts, Cochran, Bil Haley , Ricky Nelson, Cash, Gene Vincent, Andrew Sisters, Chuck Berry, Brian Setzer, and the list goes on….

But MOST of all, I love the smell and feel of driving in my 51 Pontiac Chieftain and 63 International in our weekly runs with the local rod owners. I just truly believe I was born in the wrong era!

    I will! I'll be there pretty much all day Saturday and at least part of Sunday. I know a lot of the vendors so be sure to check them out! I'll look out for you, but if you see me first say hi! Will you have a car there, or are you just coming to see everything?
  • Louise LeMans

    Sorry to hear about the car, but I am definitely excited to meet you! Now I am just hoping that the weather could maybe stay in the LOW 90's, then things would be perfect!

    That is awesome that the pics are getting so much attention. You did an amazing job in the pictures and deserve the attention. Hope one of them or both of them get featured. I am really looking forward to working with you again here in November. We'll knock it out of the park again.

    Wonderful picture you posted in our SUMMER Breeze. Thank you.
  • MBradleyPhotography

    Thank you for the pic comment. it's probably my all time favorite I've done.
  • Pepper Mayweather

    Loving your stuff! Can't wait to see more! Kitty if you ever come to Reno let me know! Maybe we can arrange a shoot together
  • Pepper Mayweather

    This last Viva was my first time going. It was fantastic though. It's probably my equivalent of Disneyland for a 4 year old. But I'm definitely going next year again!
  • Pepper Mayweather

    What an awesome time to get married in Vegas! And YES! if we can work it out we should! So are you doing any shoots again soon?
  • Pepper Mayweather

    That's awesome, me too! It's the first one under my new company's pseudonym so I'm hoping the turn out fantastic. It's only my second one with a "real photographer" but hey, we all have to start somewhere right? What kind of stuff are you wearing? I LOVE those polkadot capris in your pictures.
  • Pepper Mayweather

    Hahaha...I do that even without a photoshoot! I have to be careful with what I wear for work but I refuse to be shoulderpad wearing suit woman. I get to wear lots of cardigans. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to wear for this weekend! Let alone how I'm going to do my hair....I wish I could figure out how to do some fab victory rolls like yours! Any tips?
  • Pepper Mayweather

    Well now that my hair is a smidge longer hopefully it will be easier. I can always get one that looks fabulous, and then the other one looks like I slept on it. I guess just practice practice practice!

    Your new pics are AMAZING! You are beautiful and the camera clearly loves you! Small tip ... stay away from shooting with super chopped or channeled cars (or at least have the photographer shoot from the ground up) ... your height (or lack there of) is evident with a radically altered car. But you are stunning!

    Hello Beautiful! I was going through your pictures last night picking my favorites. I can't wait to get a site going showcasing the hair/makeup work I've done. Hope to see you soon.

    I was just in Garden City the other weekend and drove by Brooklyn while down there. I try to go down state about every 3 months. My brother lives there. Perhaps we could catch up together next time your home.
