It was a rainy day, I wasn’t really sure if it would stop but I got dressed up for the car show anyway. I think the hot pants from American apparel is now my signature, as some people from the Coney Island show remembered me because of them. They are my favorite pants after all, I nearly forgot that I wore them at the last show lol. The rain was a bummer, I knew my dad wouldn’t take the Nova out for a spin in this rain. I really wanted him to showcase his hard work, and when we arrived to see that the show was still up and running, I think he thought the same. We had such a good time there anyway, my dad and I aren’t close so I was surprised to see that he knew so many people who were there. It’s crazy how many things we have in common, but we are always about to kill each other lol. While my dad got caught up in conversations with old pals, my mom and I walked around browsing the vendor tents and taking pictures with the cars. I bumped into a few people I knew like Dale Rio, an amazing photographer who contributes to many hot rod magazines and my friend Cynthia whom I met at the Mode Merr fashion show. It was so good to see familiar faces.
I think my favorite part of the day was when I found a pair of Vintage cat eye glasses that were a perfect fit. They are authentic vintage and they say “first lady” in script on the inside. I fell in love with the cars there, I felt like a little kid at a candy store, not to mention the hot guys that were there. I was just wondering where they all were hiding in all this time lol. There’s another show coming up soon and if the weather permits it, my dad can showcase the beauty that’s been sitting in that garage for way too long. Too bad we had to leave early for a wedding, , but it was all worth it in the end.

My name is Jasmin Rodriguez also known as Vintage Vandalizm. I am an avid collector of vintage dresses and most people know me for my style. I am also an artist and I try to incorporate all aspects of art in everything that I do. I am an aspiring Designer and I plan to take over the fashion world with my limitless imagination. My whole philosophy on fashion has always been to think outside of the box. My style has no boundaries but I have commonly taken inspiration from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. I love the pinup culture and style however I love being versatile so most of the time I like to clash opposites, different genres of history and fashion and somehow, someway, I make it work. I think the world is too fixated on trends that people tend to forget who they are and what they like..I’m here to help you break free, to help you stand out, to help you create your own style, be your own person, and most importantly see fashion in a whole different light.
