extravaganza... an eclectic fusion of fashion, art, and design. Featured artists Ms. Kitty Blue and Sarah "Sadie" Nedbalski... hair and makeup is the creation of Imagine Salon & Spa ...artistic direction by Jessica M. Zybura. Watch the Video
These artistic designs are inspired by reconstruction, old &
new, glass, ceramic, paper, plastic, history, techology ...there are no limits to wearable
art... nor performance art!And as
all performance art, it is in the here and now... as an
experience that comes and goes... the present that endures only as a memory.
