this dress of yours how much would it cost to get it made for me.
And if I can get it in a satin green like this http://www.dandeeimages.com/Perg/62560.jpg

and how long would it take to make?

I have a beautiful red pillbox 1940's with a large black net face covering and my most favorite green velvet late 1940's sun hat. I also have a 1920's black sun hat with a collection of silk flowers. There is great vintage store in Santa Cruz Ca. not cheap but awesome.

Awww thanks!
I always think my hair looks like s***! haha
My roots drive me crazy, but that's what you gotta deal with when you color your hair blonde. I used to have platinum blonde but that was hard to maintain...then I did the red and it always faded so now I'm with the highlights. I'll probably put some really blonde highlights in it but I think I'm going to mix in some chocolate brown too. I like the multicolor thing.
Thanks for the love, by the way!

Hi,
My daughter actually has two real live Shaheens! In mint condition! And a Shaheen swimsuit. That's her in my thumbnail pic right now.

Yes, I have heard of Randolph Duke, I'm pretty sure one of my friends worked at Gottex at the time. I worked for Ocean Pacific, and Daffy Waterwear, among other places as a patternmaker.

As for pics of my suits, I haven't had a photo shoot yet but I will by the end of this month. I'll let you know when the pics are up.
LOVE your stuff!
