Kat Von D's Wonderland Gallery recently opened an exhibit celebrating the life of 1950's Vampira. The collection of never before seen items such as original photographs, artwork and memorabilia was brought together by curator Sam Soto. Wonderland is located next to the famed High Voltage Tattoo on La Brea and Fountain Ave in Hollywood.
