This Week We Love…

This week’s crush, by the numbers:

12 Number of years that Beth Guinta has been sewing (and boy, are her hands tired).

60 Hand-sewn, Vargas-pinup-inspired, curvaceous and film-noir-sexy dresses in Guinta’s closet.

2 Items Beth Guinta won’t make for herself but buys new: sweaters and shoes, which are always high heels.

2 Piercings in Guinta’s nose.

150 Dreadlocks on Guinta’s head.

5 Years she has been growing said dreadlocks.

21 Years Guinta has been on the planet.

1 Giant flower in Guinta’s hair.

186 Years since her native Maine was granted statehood.

5 Days a week that Guinta works at Cy Rudnick’s, a Crown Center fabric store.

0 Pairs of pants Guinta has worn in her lifetime.

1 Fashion show featuring Guinta’s creations the night of May 6 at the Hangout (3611 Broadway).

6 Models in Guinta’s show, which matches women she likes with shapes that fit and colors that complement their personal flavors.

That’s why this week we love Beth Guinta.
