Johnson constructs black-tie dresses from
vintage tees. Each full-length frock has a strapless
bodice (darted for a flattering fit) and a full

From her site the description is: "You'll
be the belle of the Goodwill Ball in this beautiful, hand crafted,
Cinderella-style, full length ball gown made from "thrifted"
and vintage T-shirts. Each dress is unique and one-of-a-kind because
they are each made with whatever T-shirts can be scavenged at the time
they are made. You can leave the T-shirt choices up to Angela or
supply your own. WARNING: As with the rest of Angela's
clothing, you have to expect that Angela's sense of humor will be
included with this dress. This dress does not include the full-length
crinoline/hoop skirt to be worn underneath. Must be purchased

Got My Peeps : ) A little history ... at the Just Born factory in Bethlehem, Pa., 3.8 million candy Peeps are hatched per day. A never-ending flow of pastel battalions of birdies march down the assembly line. Their marshmallow bodies get a coat of colored sugar, a pneumatic gun affixes their wax eyes, and finally they're dropped into a cardboard cradle, tucked in with cellophane, and shipped out to the world. After that, a Peep's fate is anyone's guess. Americans eat more than 600 million Peeps and Bunnies -- their Easter counterparts – per year. Globally, a billion are consumed per year. But that's not exactly accurate; not all of them are eaten. Some become art, some become pets, and some are tortured by mad scientists trying to discover what a Peep's breaking point is. Whether as candy or toy, Peeps hold a revered place in American culture, to the point that they're now a ritual. Part of that ritual: the eating of the Peeps.
