Picture this. A Wisconsin farm wedding–Dr. Seuss d’Elegance themed… …complete with a magical garden planted by mom, fabulous 60s makeup and hair, handmade topiary centerpieces, a gorgeous ball gown, bridesmaids in yellow, pink, and green vintage dresses, and… a Roadster. Not just any Roadster, but the bride’s Roadster, the Roadster her father would drive up the…
Macomb, Michigan: Let’s say you want to find a new pal, someone to–I don’t know–gab about your mutual passion for shoes. Pretty easy to find, right? (I know, I know… I’m stereotyping, but bear with me so I can make a point.) What if you want a pal to commiserate with about a different kind of shoe,…
TAOS, NEW MEXICO: Keeping in the vein of Alice Ramsey, last month’s Featured Motor Doll, we’re going to venture out on another historic cross-country trip, only this time on a motorcycle. And yeah… it may seem weird to begin a post about a “Doll” talking about a “Dude,” but without Mr Erwin “Cannon Ball” Baker, I wouldn’t…
(My apologies for disconnected images… site crash wiped out the photos, gradually rebuilding!) FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA – Think about this.

LONG BEACH, CA Usually when I write about a Featured Motor Doll, several emails go back and forth between the feature-ee and myself: requests for pictures, and clarifications, and corrections, and, oh yeah, just one more question… but considering I know this Featured Motor Doll’s story…
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA : All right, Motor Dolls and Dudes! Don your Akubra hats and throw another Shrimp on the Barbie, ’cause we’re going Down Under for this month’s Featured Motor Doll! Meet the lovely Miss Rhea Morris! I tell ya. Australian’s are the coolest people. I’ve been to a lot of great places thanks to…
ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA: It’s hard to explain to someone who does black-flips for the latest, greatest, shiny new plasticized-toy, why some of us would rather have the rusty, old, and worn. It’s a love of history and craftsmanship, coupled with the romantic idealism of how this thing has survived for decades, centuries even; the fantastic notion that it has…
SOMEWHERE IN THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE – Once upon a time on the Internet, I came across the picture below. It was connected to a film project about women motorcyclists, which of course intrigued me. But on a more shallow level, I really loved this girl’s style: So elegant yet cool, so model-like, so refined, so… British.…
