BUS

Before…

…and after.

Tali Shaul and Hagit Morevski are friends from Even Yehuda in Israel. The pair were enthusiastic to work together on a creative project and were inspired by an article on alternative housing they read in a women’s magazine. They bought this 12 foot long bus from a scrapyard and have since completely redesigned the interior transforming it into this sophisticated luxury living space.

Go Away Baby, The Baby Dolls (1960) “Hi I am an original Baby Doll who is flattered by the positive comments and that our records are being played and recognized by the many viewers of websites. Just a little history on us. The Baby Dolls were a young Black female group that consisted of two sisters. and 2-3 friends that got a record deal with Maske records. I learned that our records were being played on various websites a few months ago, and was surprised that anyone remembered us, but honored that they did.”  –  Rebecca Warren, via YouTube comments, 2014.
