I love creating with my photography business (Black Dahlia Photography) that offers creative services such as black and white vintage Hollywood style or traditional portraiture - click on the lovely Samia to view my black & white portfolio:To see my color portfolio, click on the luminous Chrissy here:I also have a vintage clothing boutique called Black Dahlia Vintage (I've recently put it on hiatus while I spend a year in Abu Dhabi) that is a labor of love - it keeps me in pretty clothes and I meet such fabulous people who also share a love of past decades. My vintage collection has evolved into these over-the-top vintage fashion shows with 20 models, vaudeville type acts and truly brilliant talent performing as vintage singing stars of the past, which I plan to continue when I return because I do so love the torture that comes along with organizing them. On the other end of the spectrum I am Regional Manager of a construction management company specializing in public works projects and I perform construction management for 5 projects in the City of Los Angeles. I will even continue to work on these remotely from Abu Dhabi...my company is now international! When I return I will be staffing transportation projects in the central California Valley and will be looking for qualified engineers and inspectors. MyGen Profile Generator
