<div class="MsoNormal">
Twice Baked, by Karlton Spindle</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What I would like to attempt to do is have my show car on
display in the ebay motors booth / tent at this years Concorso Italiano where
ebay motors is a sponsor. The "mark" this year is Bertone in
celebration of 100 years of Bertone. My car is a 40 year Homage to the Bertone
Lamborghini lines.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Back story straight out of an ebay ad but all true. Fact is
there is a documentary being filmed on the car history.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1973 a Little green P250 Urraco made its way from Bertone to
Lamborghini then off to California where, Paul Spencer III bought the
little Bull (Urraco is a little Bull). Paul resided in Upland California. He also
had a home in Lake Arrowhead where the car was for the fun mountain drive up
Hwy 18.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
197X (77 or 78) Paul had a motor fire on his way up the
mountain HWY 18, and the car was taken by the insurance company for disposal.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1978 The car was presented at auction in Los Angeles as a
tow through parts car; it showed minor fire damage. Well, at least to me, a high
school kid, saw a lamborghini in a price range that worked. I called my
Father who made me a deal; I could bid up to I think $10,000 for the car, but the car had to
be able to be re-built, and I had to put the money back in to my collage fund, or, sell the car when it came time to go to Loma Linda University in fall of 1979.
It was a BIG gamble, and he backed the bet. The car was bought for $6,000, and we put
$3,000 into it that summer / winter. By Spring, we had it ready for my high
school senior banquet (we did not have prom). It was a magical time as the car
made its debut at the banquet. That summer I drove the car up to our home in
Lake Arrowhead, and parked it at (NO LAUGHING) the Lake Arrowhead Yacht Club. We
race small boats there, yet we call it a yacht club, so dont think its some
high-fallotin joint. When I parked the car a good friend of mine, whose son I
raced Hobie cats with, came up and said, "Hey that's my car!". Yes, it was Paul Spencer.
Proudly, I said, "No, its mine now". The summer was off the chart fun with the
little green bull up and down hwy 18.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1979 at the end of an amazing summer my father called in the
deal. Yes, a deal is a deal - honor it. The car was sold to a friend of his, who in
actuality, did most of the work on the car with me. Chuck took the car to Long
Beach Ca. where he lived. He painted it red like every other Italian car, but I
digress. That was the last I saw of the car or so I thought.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2011 My mother passed away, then a few months later, my father
passed away. About a week or so after the passing of my father, I was thinking
of all the really cool things he had done for all of his kids, friends and
other family members. I was honored to help him pass with honor - a deal is a
deal. The Little Green Lamborghini saga has always been with me. You can check
my ebay searches and see I had an active search going for anything Urraco. But
when I looked for the first time after the service for my father, low and
behold on ebay motors, a 1973 P250 Lamborghini Urraco BURNED to the ground a
rusty hulk. Looking at the photos in disbelief, I could see the car started
life Green, repainted Red, plus, it was for sale very close to Long Beach,
California, just next door in Torrance. I worked a deal with the seller, bought
the little hulk off ebay and went to see my new old friend. To say the car
should have long ago been hauled off to the junk yard was a masterpiece of an understatement. No motor or transmission (I did not win that auction as they
were sold off in a separate auction) .</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over the last 12 months, I have had the car evaluated by car
builders who all said it was too far gone. Alan Lee, who sold me the Little Bull
body off ebay, said he could build it. So, we decided to build it as if it were a
new 2013 car, with the same goals as the original but use all modern parts and
freshen up the design to new design standards. Many of the new parts were
bought off ebay motors. We are still using eBay motors for the final parts of
the build. The goal of this build is also to present the car at <i>Concorso Italinio</i>
August 17th 2012, a lofty goal for any build. We are now in the final stages of
having the car ready for this event where we would like to present the car for
consideration to Bertone as an homage to the Bertone Lamborghini they built in
1973, as a 1973 P250 Urraco with the hope they will re-badge it as a 2013 LP420
SVM Lamborghini Urraco.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It would be fitting and an honor to place this car in the
ebay motors tent display at Concorso. If you know who we can contact, I will do
whatever it takes to make this happen as a tribute to my father, and prior to
bringing the car to its home in Lake Arrowhead, California. A full circle as it
were thanks to eBay motors.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My cell is 818-279-1049. The event is August 17th 2012
http://www.concorso.com/. I know there is some department at eBay working on
this event please pass this email around so it might reach the proper persons)
who I might be able to talk to about placing it with the ebay motors tent.<o:p></o:p></div>

We recreated the Sweat Pea jacket from the Movie Sucker Punch, and here's what she had to say about her Sexy Skins experience:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"When I contacted Lisa about recreating Sweet Pea’s jacket from the movie SuckerPunch I knew we were asking a lot, but Lisa was incredible and a pleasure to work with. Her attention to detail and workmanship is outstanding, but what really impressed me was how eager she was to work one-on-one with me, to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I was beyond ecstatic when I saw the finished product and I can guarantee that I’ll be contacting Lisa in the future for any other custom leather work."</blockquote>

Created by hand, using top-grade leather in the most luxurious of finishes. Each petal is hand-cut, skived three times to obtain the right thickness, and then molded and formed to replicate the delicate petals on a rose. We sort through every petal searching for those which when assembled together, will perfectly create an exquisite leather rose. Because of the nature of creating these products, and the detail, workmanship, and time involved (one cuff can take up to 4 hours), no two roses or cuffs will ever be exactly alike.<br />Sexy Skins Suede and Leather Fashionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00500911327702415518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722927386795379702.post-71602228030351976852012-05-28T14:50:00.000-04:002012-05-28T14:50:04.758-04:00Chopper Challenge Teaser and Sexy SkinsYou can see Alan Lee wearing his Sexy Skins jacket in this video for the Chopper Challenge television series!<div>

<h2>
<b>Roses in December ~ And January through November!</b></h2>
I thought I was excited back in May when I first came up with the designs for our Rosa Collection of Leather Cuffs and Accessories, but now, I am doubly excited to be rolling them out the door! And this is why:<br />
<br />

I wanted to make a gift for my Great Niece who was celebrating her First Communion. I had a vision of a little white leather purse with pink lining, and white ruffle trim. I instantly thought of my Mother, with her vast collection of trims, buttons, and zippers. Immediately, I felt Mom's presence as I began to rummage through her stash, searching for inspiration and design direction. I am not quite sure how the ruffles turned in to roses (perhaps my Mother's name had something to do with it?), but I found myself learning how to make roses out of leather, and my little white leather bag now had a special adornment; three small white leather roses, and in their center, Rose colored Swarovski Crystal rivets. And, I was in love!<br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I had so much fun making leather roses, and was so incredibly excited about the process, so much so, I decided to share my new found craft with our Sexy Skins fans on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SexySkinsLeatherFashions" target="_blank">Facebook</a>. I began to post photographs of the process, and my progress. The response was slightly overwhelming. Each time I posted a photograph, my fire was fueled by the response and the creative suggestion of our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SexySkinsLeatherFashions" target="_blank">Facebook</a> fans. The frenzy it stirred, began to inspire me even more, and making leather roses turned into making leather cuffs with roses. I could not stop!</span>

True Love and Adoration</h2>
Is the way I am feeling about our new collection; the look, the style, the way I feel when I wear them, and how it all came to pass....an idea, my Mother's stash, along with a whole lot of love! I hope you enjoy our Rosa Collection as much as I do!<br />

<h2>
The Rosa Collection of Leather Cuffs and Accessories</h2>
All the items in the Rosa Collection are created by hand, using top-grade leather in the most luxurious of finishes. In our Autumn Rose Series, even the roses are made with the same leather as the band, 5-7 ounce Latigo leather; each petal is hand-cut, skived three times to obtain the right thickness, and then molded and formed to replicate the delicate petals on a rose. I sort through every petal searching for those which when assembled together, will perfectly create an exquisite leather rose.<br />
Because of the nature of creating these products, and the detail, workmanship, and time involved (one cuff can take up to 4 hours), no two roses or cuffs will ever be exactly alike.<br />

The Rosa Collection of Leather Cuffs and Accessories was inspired by my Mother, Rose. She was an amazing woman who endured many tumultuous and life altering experiences and handled them with much courage, grace, and strength. She was my rock and my supporter, always encouraging me to go after the impossible. We lost Rose in 2007 but her memory and spirit lives on through those she loved. Thank You, Mom for loving me! This one is for you!! ♥<br />

Kristina holds a degree in all areas of Goldsmithing and Jewelry Design from the Goldsmith Academy of Vicenza, Italy. Over the past 10 years, Kristina has worked in the jewelry field extensively in both Germany and Italy.<br /><br />My relationship with the German born jeweler began with the collaboration on a custom piece for one of my clients. Kristina and I soon realized we had more in common than just sharing a passion for creating with our desired mediums, and we began to explore the possibilities of marrying metal with leather to create a collection of exquisite jewelry for both men and women.<br /><br />The first design in our collection will utilize interchangeable leather bands to showcase Kristina's sterling silver sculptures which float gracefully in the center; each with its own special meaning, and with bands available in four different colors of very luxurious Aztec leather. Also as part of our collection, Kristina and I have designed Sterling Silver and White Gold “beads” which will adorn gorgeous handcrafted Kangaroo leather braided cuffs.

That is because I had the opportunity to work with the owner of The Denimrack Boutique, Joe Hickey. Not only does Joe possess incredible business savvy, he is also extremely creative with a phenomenal eye for color and texture. Those qualities combined with my leather expertise and fashion sense, have resulted in the creation of a collection of leather cuffs which are fun, hip, and trendy.<br /><br /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r46BRBFDW8s/TrQ3j-8t9mI/AAAAAAAAA1k/Z97CQpNW-ng/s1600/DR+Collection+Look+Book+jpg.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 154px; height: 200px;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r46BRBFDW8s/TrQ3j-8t9mI/AAAAAAAAA1k/Z97CQpNW-ng/s200/DR+Collection+Look+Book+jpg.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671218922098914914" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sctkOD4Omqo/TpbUqNfjPNI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/V3csA5r8j9s/s1600/hookblk1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sctkOD4Omqo/TpbUqNfjPNI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/V3csA5r8j9s/s200/hookblk1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662947403106565330" /></a><br /><br />I'm so proud of this collection for its quality and design! All the cuffs are handmade with the most luxurious of latigo leathers available, and using the most unique hardware I could fine. By far, they are my favorite cuffs to sell, and wear!

At the time she was also 36 ½ weeks pregnant with twins. Twelve hours after her diagnosis the twins were born making a family of seven. Sarah fought through the many challenges and treatments that cancer brings and beat the odds returning to work in January 2009. Just over a year later Sarah developed a pain in her hip which was discovered to be cancer. Sarah, her husband Matt, and their 5 children and extended family are faced with the fight against cancer once again.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQkVrMSRmDUXh1pKAW2-h1dMTxfA0Y9t8xEMpfsOw1b374RaNplF1Q3spbugrd-_9xg9TUdS8bETKpz4nXZInSIet58fmav9JD33aGoRcyv62OS067-2OqTXm2dVkdg4QIqttEPJYqyQxT/s1600/srarah%2527s+cuff+001.png"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 152px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659309982922290514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQkVrMSRmDUXh1pKAW2-h1dMTxfA0Y9t8xEMpfsOw1b374RaNplF1Q3spbugrd-_9xg9TUdS8bETKpz4nXZInSIet58fmav9JD33aGoRcyv62OS067-2OqTXm2dVkdg4QIqttEPJYqyQxT/s200/srarah%2527s+cuff+001.png" /></a><br />I had asked what words of inspiration brought comfort and courage to Sarah, and incorporated into the cuff design her favorite quote from Charles Haddon Spurgeon, "by perseverance the snail reached the ark”. Another inspiration for the design is a circle; the ancient and universal symbol of unity, wholeness, and infinity, which also represents the strength of the human spirit. Our “circle” is a ¾” metal ring which functions as a closure, and is a unique and decorative element to the Sarah’s Cuff design.<br /><br /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cp6J8v1-xIM/TpbOywOO0CI/AAAAAAAAA1A/aaykcbF3rLY/s1600/sarah%2527s+cuff2blog.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662940952798351394" border="0" alt="" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cp6J8v1-xIM/TpbOywOO0CI/AAAAAAAAA1A/aaykcbF3rLY/s200/sarah%2527s+cuff2blog.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The feedback I am getting from "Sarah's Cuff" is incredibly positive. People feel inspired by the quote Sarah chose because at one time or another, we all have had to muster up the courage to fight, and needed the patience to endure when faced with personal trials and tribulation. Recently, a woman shared with me her story of when she was just a young child suffering from hearing loss, her parents supported her and fought with the school when she was failing. Now she's a breast cancer surgeon.<br /><br />I would like to thank Sarah Fox for sharing a part of her soul with us which will continue to inspire many. My prayers go out to her, and, her family and friends. Please show your support, by purchasing Sarah's Cuff. <a href="http://pffca.org/?zone=/unionactive/view_page.cfm&page=Sarha27s20Ride">http://pffca.org/?zone=/unionactive/view_page.cfm&page=Sarha27s20Ride</a>Sexy Skins Suede and Leather Fashionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00500911327702415518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722927386795379702.post-32618798130049670352011-10-03T11:16:00.009-04:002011-10-04T17:43:25.999-04:00IAFF 9/11 Tribute Rally, Ride, and CuffsOn September 11th, Sexy Skins and crew, traveled to Newburgh, NY for the International Association of Fire Fighter's 9/11 Tribute Rally and Ride. It was quite an honor to ride in the procession of nearly 4,000 motorcycles on the freeways of New York to the Fire Fighter's Memorial in New York City, where we all gathered to remember those who perished on that day, and reflect upon the tragedies of this time in our nation's history.<br /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rjI0gDkydjo/TonbVc6NM-I/AAAAAAAAAz4/uU9kOa1I0KY/s1600/Lisa+and+Brent+tribute+ride.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659295568351802338" border="0" alt="" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rjI0gDkydjo/TonbVc6NM-I/AAAAAAAAAz4/uU9kOa1I0KY/s200/Lisa+and+Brent+tribute+ride.jpg" /></a><br /><br />An even greater honor was bestowed upon Sexy Skins.

I approached New England Walkers for Knockers, Brenda Smith with the idea for a collaboration on such a calendar with the intent to raise money toward the cure for breast cancer. It was agreed that the models should be people who have been afflicted with the disease, giving them a podium to share their stories, and educate the world about this horrific disease. Five of our models chose to wear Sexy Skins. <br /><br />Through my experience watching as my sister battled Leukemia, I developed an understanding for how much people have to endure while battling a disease. Therefore, it became my personal desire for every person posing in front of the lens for our calendar, to feel extraordinarily beautiful or handsome, and comfortable. For if it was just this one day, I wanted to be somewhat responsible for bringing to their lives, a bit of peace, normalcy, contentment, and self-confidence. My role changed from fashion designer to photo stylist, as I assisted our photographer on the shoots.<br /><br />The Heroes for Hope Breast Cancer Calendar came out smashingly gorgeous! And it's all because of our team of people who donated their time and energy, and shared their incredible talents with us and the world! I was truly blessed to work with; graphic designer, Lori Elwell, Arielle Andrews of Seacoast Harley Davidson, the extremely talented photographer, Cynthia August, and project coordinator, Brenda Smith of NE-W4K. <br /><br />The Heroes of Hope Breast Calendar is complete and are now for sale!!<br />To purchase go to, <a href="http://www.ne-w4k.org/">http://www.ne-w4k.org/</a> . All proceeds are donated toward helping those who are suffering with breast cancer.<br /><br />Check out the video above to get a behind the scenes peek during one set of photo shoots. You may be able to tell how this experience blessed all who were involved. I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart!!!

Geils Band Concert and Magic DickWhat an AWESOME weekend!! If you have been tuning in lately, then you know, I was hired by Magic Dick from the legendary J. Geils Band, and wife, Susan to design and create a custom leather jacket for him to wear at the J. Geils Homecoming Concert in Boston this past Saturday. With only a week to do it (a custom jacket, from start to finish can take over 3 months), there were many long days and sleepless nights - but I did it!<br /><br />Susan picked up his jacket Saturday morning. She loved it! But the true test would be Dick because as a performer, his needs are different than the average person. Function is as important, if not more, than fashion. I had to alter the pattern and the design to allow for comfort and mobility on stage. And without the necessary time for the proper amount of fittings, I had to go with my gut and trust my instincts. Saturday afternoon I received word in the form of a text that read, "Dick LOVES his jacket! Thank You!!!!!!". Yay!!!....that was obviously what I wanted to hear. Now I was even more excited about going to see Dick, and the Geils Band perform that evening.<br /><br />We arrived in town around 7:00, picked up our tickets and VIP passes at the door (Thank you, Susan!), and walked toward the concession stand to fill our tummies. We ate and found our seats. Brent, the person who came into my life at the perfect time and gave me the courage to follow my dream, got the best seat for viewing. I sat between my two boys, the two most important people in my life, therefore, the best seat in the house. In fact, it was my oldest, who when times were at the toughest, came into my office, threw his leg around the arm of the chair, and with the deepest sincerity said, "Mom, no matter what...never give up on Sexy Skins". So much wisdom from a 13 year old because it was those words which gave me the incredible power to continue on my journey.<br /><br />Finally, the J. Geils band took center stage and the show began! There he was, Magic Dick, wearing his new jacket, looking sexy as hell!! What an AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME, concert!!! The J. Geils Band rocks!!! The music was fantastic! And, boys shared their first concert experience with me, reaping some of the rewards too like going back stage to meet the band and spend some time with Dick in his dressing room. Dick is a very special and talented human being. I'm so grateful for this experience in more ways than the obvious. Simply, AWESOME...:-)<br /><br />Photographs by Nancy Nutile-McMenemy, <a href="http://www.photosbynanci.com/">http://www.photosbynanci.com/</a><br /><br /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lZtqPGy4PM8/Tos7b_MMOAI/AAAAAAAAA04/_HVbwOSQXwc/s1600/GEILSp1030229.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659682708726233090" border="0" alt="" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lZtqPGy4PM8/Tos7b_MMOAI/AAAAAAAAA04/_HVbwOSQXwc/s200/GEILSp1030229.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-maMUNSv7ODE/Tos7boULnWI/AAAAAAAAA0w/GZ8XQx-Atso/s1600/GEILSp1030153.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659682702585732450" border="0" alt="" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-maMUNSv7ODE/Tos7boULnWI/AAAAAAAAA0w/GZ8XQx-Atso/s200/GEILSp1030153.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgev6PE-2vZ2nmNkZL9T4h5kWshvOhgBqdYZpOQiMbG7pyWQ2GRhNq4-ynAfaqnVTSPq0gG1cXjyr2rGdO4trDpy5RQI_Z6UDFpYwsjsyCqMrzR-TLDjy6GoRuSZ8yxbI6ny1bvkKOBe8P-/s1600/GEILSp1030044.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 134px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659682700468711618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgev6PE-2vZ2nmNkZL9T4h5kWshvOhgBqdYZpOQiMbG7pyWQ2GRhNq4-ynAfaqnVTSPq0gG1cXjyr2rGdO4trDpy5RQI_Z6UDFpYwsjsyCqMrzR-TLDjy6GoRuSZ8yxbI6ny1bvkKOBe8P-/s200/GEILSp1030044.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-beJBkJkxM3I/Tos7baqc8tI/AAAAAAAAA0g/qFyMM2cSGCU/s1600/GEILSp1020943.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 134px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659682698921046738" border="0" alt="" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-beJBkJkxM3I/Tos7baqc8tI/AAAAAAAAA0g/qFyMM2cSGCU/s200/GEILSp1020943.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFCgAOY1rKaiqp1FtZn_QPasi8vOPxGz8G-d_t-38KplZXGp2_0u9NhSZwruvX4eUybcrjRm6zxL3m2XLy2BdAFddf0ATZFojLupOT0YSyzJHTUmwmpv_OugcfQ8NtBm-OB_NwqyiRPnjD/s1600/dick+and+lisa.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 163px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638525112803332034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFCgAOY1rKaiqp1FtZn_QPasi8vOPxGz8G-d_t-38KplZXGp2_0u9NhSZwruvX4eUybcrjRm6zxL3m2XLy2BdAFddf0ATZFojLupOT0YSyzJHTUmwmpv_OugcfQ8NtBm-OB_NwqyiRPnjD/s200/dick+and+lisa.jpg" /></a>Sexy Skins Suede and Leather Fashionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00500911327702415518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722927386795379702.post-16047979864111677432011-07-19T12:22:00.002-04:002011-07-19T12:26:01.647-04:00Live Free or Die Tattoo ExpoIs this weekend!!
