Austin is home sweet home for musician Bob Schneider and film maker Robert Rodriguez. The talented pair recently teamed up and made a video starring Kat Dennings ( "40 Year Old Virgin","Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," and "Shorts"). The video, "40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet)" is the first single off Schneider's latest album "Lovely Creatures".

Bob Schneider is a fan of Via Christa jewelry and wears his piece through out the video. Also, you can view Bob Schneider's testimonial bit on Via Christa in the profile video Fashion Leak produced.

Asphalt Runway is a blog working on a music documentary that requires a year-long road trip around the States. These are the fashions they find along the way.

The ladies behind this project asked us, Fashion Leak, for our picture as we were having a meeting at Rio Rita's.

(P.S. The Fashion Leak gals didn't mean to dress similar...sort of a Romy and Michelle coincidence.)

Thanks Asphalt Runway and bon chance!!

2010-01-04T13:59:00.000-08:00

Fashion Leak's first video and photo set featuring Boudoir Queen's clothing was shot on the coldest day early March 2009. Models Whitney Jardine and Ceci Mireles are the most amazing models to work with. This was filmed in front of a school in Austin by Jameel Ghaddar, photographed by Jean Philippe-Martin, music by The White White Lights (recently voted as one of the Top 10 Bands in 2010 and Best New Local Band by The Austin Chronicle), and featuring clothes by Boudoir Queen.

The Beginning: Back Stage with The Boudior Queen Beauties

2010-01-04T13:32:00.000-08:00

Jacqueline Fernandez, Founder and Creative Director for Fashion Leak and BleachOnline, also specializes in professional makeup artistry. She was introduced to clothing designer Dawn Younger-Smith of Boudoir Queen by their mutual friend and model muse, Whitney Jardine. She was asked to do makeup for Boudoir Queen on numerous events including Sounds and Style with The Sounds, an Etsy profile video on her and other fashion shows.

Dawn Younger-Smith was the ideal artist to feature on Fashion Leak because she is an independent designer, even though Boudoir Queen's brand is successful, carries an impressive clientele and has been featured in the press locally and globally.
