We found a small stack of greeting cards from 1983 *in* Willis Wonderland *of* Willis Wonderland. That was just 3 years after Allee Willis moved in. We were surprised by how much of the furniture, art, and even plants are still in the house today, some 42 years later.

Willis Wonderland is full of surprises. We found a stack of 1983 greeting cards in a cabinet. The photo shows the living room three years after Allee moved in. A version of it ended up in the book that helped popularize "mid-century modern." New post up.

This is what the Willis Wonderland pop-up book looked like in progress. The top is called a “white dummy,” with no story, no color, just blank pages to test the folds and motion. The bottom is the finished book. Pretty neat, right?

Not everyone can pull off hot pink satin and a Soul Fist.
And honestly? That’s fine. The Allee (Willis) jacket isn’t for everyone.
But if you get it, you get it. Just don’t sleep on it, ’cause pre-orders close soon:

We're so glad you enjoyed it!!
We’ve waited a long time for this. 'The World According to Allee Willis' is now streaming on Hulu! 🎉
If you've seen it, you know, and it's absolutely worth a second (or third!) watch. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’re in for a treat.
Oh, and no biggie, it’s 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes (!) 🍅💯
Rise and shine, LA!
Hillary Carlip & Charles Phoenix will be sharing stories, showing off the new pop-up book, and taking everyone on a virtual stroll through Allee’s legendary bubblegum-pink home, Willis Wonderland. April 9, 7 to 9 a.m.

The Willis Wonderland pop-up book williswonderlandpopupbook.com is here!
Its designer Hillary Carlip describes it “an architectural pop-up book on steroids,” and she’s not kidding. It’s a 3D love letter to Allee Willis, her bubblegum-pink home, and the wildly original world she built inside it.
We made a jacket we think Allee would've loved. It's hot pink & full of soul.

We're so excited to share The Allee with you, a limited-edition tribute to a one-of-a-kind creative force. Pre-orders are open now through April 15 at Official League.

📸 In 1974, Allee Willis met Luther Vandross when her album "Childstar" came out. They then teamed up for a duet called "Little Orphan Allee" (which, sorry to report, we can't find evidence of in the archives!). This great photo of them was taken in 1987.✨ #AlleeWillis #LutherVandross

Ain't she a beaut?! Willis Wonderland, the iconic pink 1937 Streamline Moderne that Allee Willis called home, is a work of art to itself. 🎨✨ Rumored to be an MGM party house back in the day, we bet these walls could tell some juicy stories! 🎶
