Big Salty Customs Grand Opening






Saturday I rode the Diva Glide down to the opening of a new custom motorcycle shop...Big Salty Customs on 1594 S. State St. in Salt Lake City. Aaron and Christine are creating a laid back and comfortable shop --selling everything from Team Diva hats and beaters to custom bikes! They have big plans ahead and lots of rides scheduled to benefit various groups. We found each other because of my Salt Lake riding buddies--crazy Joel and Candace, the Mule, and BOB are all friends of Aaron's. We even took a little ride--Joel on Gangsta-one of the bikes he bought from Billy Lane, Bob rode Candace's "Guapo" and Candace rode her Kicker. This cute Kicker is a 150 cc, no clutch, electric or kick start, gets 100 miles per tank, retails for approx. $1500 and great to ride on surface streets!!! If you'd like more info--email Candace me@gasolinekouture.com

I spent the weekend creating some new hats --using the fidel silhouette--embellishing with crystal broaches to buddhas--they turned out pretty cute--check them out on my web site under limited editions--I can make some for you! I found all these great wine corks in many drawers here and got inspired. I came up with the D-Wino cowboy hat. You can see the photo how cute this turned out--it's my funny attempt at being "eco" and "green"--if you have any special corks you would like me to style into a cool hatband--send them to me( I need at least 6)--then email me to discuss the other design details!! I do have a collection of corks if that works better for you--and any of you who would like to contribute--save them --- I would love to have them. I could even make a white trash wino hat with the Charles Shaw corks!!

Friday night was a fun Park City old town evening for us. We girls started off with pedicures, happy hour at a restaurant called Jean Louis--he is a character-his white chef coats have leopard print collars and cuffs--his food is amazing---we had cocktails and steak tartar he fixed table side just for us! Auntie Zildjian was quite impressed! Next--a short walk to Butcher's Chop House--meeting friends on the patio---fabulous setting --the Town Lift moves overhead---bright pinks and purple flowers amongst all the green of the slopeside. We were a party of 10 to celebrate Uncle John's b-day--sampled one of each of the appetizers--and the Lavender Creme Brulee was to die for!!! It was a "warm" mountain evening with friends and family and lots of wine!!!!

Adrienne and I are off to San Diego this Wed.--I have lots to accomplish there, OC, and LA. SEAL at Irvine Amphitheater this Sunday--!Stay tuned!
