Throwback Thursday... an unreleased shot of me from my last cover shoot for the now defunct Rod & Kulture Magazine, just a couple years ago, by @hollywestphotography with hair and makeup by @rockwellbeauty @therealrockwell 💙💚 We got the better shots before the sun went down, but I still dig this vintage bathing suit, so I like this one, too. Plus, I look all happy and smiley cuz I was having fun and I miss that lately, too. Hope y’all are doin okay and staying safe and stayin home.

📸if I’m gonna have to attend an #LAFW show to see my homegirl walk for a designer, at least I get to do it at my favorite place in LA 🤩 @petersenmuseum ! ❤️🙌🥰 I remember the first few years of lafw, I was in my early 20’s and had just started working at a now famous hotel bar that had just opened and we hosted a lot of the events and shows and ended up w a lot of goodies and new fashion friends and connections. Seems like a couple lifetimes ago now. 🤣 Can’t wait time see @sabinakelley rock the @asanchezfashion show coming up next! 🤘😊🙌 (at Petersen Automotive Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3gHfdul8yS/?igshid=1illossuxf7r1

☀️ Oh my heart. Finally accessing some of the footage from my doc... first clip of a day of my normal life- typical Heidi day, hanging on my stoop in my little yard w my dog, hitchin a ride w @jessybabes86 to go do the Culver stairs! I miss my dog, I miss my yard, I miss my stoop. I miss my girl Jess being down the street. I miss feeling comfortable wearing short shorts and knee highs in public. 😂😢😆❤️ shot by @mad_fabricators for my never ending documentary #makingovermolly 🤘 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvvXWo5h7bX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oo2bcei74ul

Signing prints before I head to the post office with some orders from fans. Love the love, y’all! Tried to get video but it still doesn’t capture the shimmer and tone that these metallic prints have in person! 🐋Photo of me with #DeanJeffries’ #Mantaray custom bubble top by @hollywestphotography from our shoot for the @traditionalrodandkulture cover at his shop in LA. #deanjeffriesmantaray #bubbletop #bubbletopcustom #bubbletopcar #classiccar #classics #customs #wildcustoms #famouscustomcars #auto #pinup #heidivanhorne #hollywestphotography #hollywestphoto #pinupheidi #hotrod #hotrodhistory #pinupfans #rodandkulture #traditionalrodandkulture #brunette #bangs #cheesecake #hotrodpinups (at Dean Jeffries Automotive Styling) https://www.instagram.com/p/BupV-YKBL7s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z4l9ya8luzp

The real me. Hahaha grimy and gettin my hands (and everything else) dirty under the hood of my baby. I had left her in Texas while I got my life started back up again in LA after some major life shakeups, and it took me way longer then planned to bring her home. She’s in the worst cosmetic shape of her life since I’ve owned her and that makes me super sad and makes me beat myself up about it quite a bit but the truth is, I’m glad I had somewhere to leave her, at the very least, til I could afford to bring her home. People have asked about the documentary and the truth is, life decided that it needed a whole new third act. I have other projects that are taking the lead but it’s still in the works and it’s in the package of projects I’ll be shopping around with my agent again in the next few months. If I get one of the other projects going, I’ll have less time for her but more money to get her done, and if the doc about her and I gets funding then I guess that will be the focus for a bit. Who knows. We shall see. But I’m glad to have her back with me and I’m excited about all the work to be done in 2019. Let’s get dirty, y’all. Dig in. 🔧 #mollythetruck #makingovermolly #getdirty #wrench #wrenching #womenwhowrench #f100 #herride #ford @ford #1960ford #1960f100 #pickup #truck #truckin #heidivanhorne #heidiscustomsandclassics #heidispics #gearheadgal #gearheadgirls #steelwoolisyourfriend (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsY2V1thms7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=196ghl5tblbkv

Flashback Friday to the catalog and campaign I was in for German westernwear company Stars and Stripes, shot by @mehoshphotography a few years ago.

☎️ well, hello there! Check out the latest piece that artist @barratatouille created of me in his retro bomber nose art series! This piece was inspired by my latest centerfold in @traditionalrodandkulture, shot by @hollywestphotography Of course, I love the Texas touch 😉👍❤️ One of the greatest things about creating art is when it inspires other artists to create. I’m as proud of the art and artists I’ve inspired as the art I’ve created. Adding to more art and inspiration in this world is a beautiful thing. And inspiring others inspires me! ❤️🤘 I hope you’re having a great day and that this weekend brings you lots of joy and love and INSPIRATION to share that love and joy in the world through whatever art or craft or creation you enjoy and pursue! Have a good one, y’all! Much love! 💓 #art #inspiration #spreadlove #artwork #artist #pinup #pinupart #barratatouille #heidivanhorne #retro #noseart #bombernoseart #classic #pinupgirl #cheesecake #arrbyratatouille #pinupheidi #retropinup #vintagestyle #vintagepinup #artinspiresart #createeveryday #create https://www.instagram.com/p/BpcdS8UBooh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wgto7tnvrm5i

👢 These boots. I bought these at a strawberry 🍓 (clothing) store in lower Manhattan when I was 16 on a road trip with my dad that we took over the summer before my senior year of high school (in a car that cost $100! More on that story another time 😂), because I was determined to go back to the east coast once I graduated, but had never actually been since we moved when I was a baby. That was a memory-making and influential trip for me in many ways, and in the years (and decades!!) since, these boots have been with me from NYC to Htown to LA and back again. From the middle of a pit at a punk show off st marks to the @houstonlivestock rodeo, to celebrity-stuffed parties in the Hollywood Hills in the late 90’s- these boots have seen a lot. Last night they rocked again with me at @thehotelcafe to see @alicesmithmusic - who, by the way, is an INCREDIBLY talented singer and performer that you should absolutely go see if you ever get the chance! (I know I look goofy here, but whatever. I do love my boots. 😂) . These kicks have come with me all over the country and they are the #1 reason why I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for @stevemadden and their footwear. Thanks for making some kick ass boots. And thanks to @strawberrystrs for putting them on sale for $35 twenty five years ago so my thrifty Texas ass could buy her best boots in New York City on her only road trip with her east coast-reared pops. ❤️ me n my tri-tone leather Steve maddens. 25 years and counting. 😊🤘 (Artwork over my shoulder by my friend and another amazing musician, @miloandthepickpockets! 🤘) #roadtripmemories #stevemadden #stevemaddenboots #strawberrystores #thingsthatlast #heidivanhorne #boots #myboots #theydontmakeemlikethatanymore #theydontmakethemliketheyusedto #lovemyboots #jerseyborn #texasraised #californiarefined #allamerican #notanad #ijustloveem #👢#🍓 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpIYg_cBP2B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=czfy508jpgwr

🤘You just can’t talk about classic and custom cars in Houston without eventually bringing up locally-raised and internationally known rapper Slim Thug @slimthug . So, it is today that, after covering customs and classics since 2008 for Hearst and the Houston Chronicle, I finally get to right this wrong by sharing the car story of the Htown legend, his famous collection and how he got into cars. 🗞 Read the last “Heidi’s Customs & Classics today in the @houstonchron And syndicated in 14 other papers nationally or check out the extended feature my blog at HeidiVanHorne.com. (Links in my stories!) 🤘 When I knew the classics were coming to an end again, I knew I had to nail down a few subjects I’d been talking to about featuring, and the most important to me was to get Slim Thug. I’m so honored to get to share his car story with my readers and our hometown. You can see more of his rides @bossliferides! . Thank you for reading my columns every week for the last 10+ years!! More good things on the horizon!
