Drumroll...
Life has been very busy, and the pace of the business has picked up significantly. My client list is now including more corporate gigs, and things with tight deadlines and bigger budgets, so my schedule has changed along with that. The success of www.Findadressmaker.com has been wonderful, and the number of legitimate visitors truly astounds me. I am still very grateful, and occasionally updating the "stories" section of my own website, with things I think are relevant, or help express who I am. See you again when I have a moment to write. There is lots to tell!

Where have I been?
This is what I was so busy doing in late January/early February. The immensely talented Irina Shabayeva, of Project Runway fame, needed help constructing her beautiful designs for Fashion Week. I was happy to help, and was amazed by her absolutely Herculean effort in putting her amazing show together.
Since then, it has been clients, clients, clients... and soon to come... my first professional photo shoot!
And finally, there is an actual trailer for the movie I worked on in November. *Update - the trailer keeps appearing a disappearing on various sites, citing copyright infringement, etc. so I suggest looking it up on YouTube, using the search term "Romantics movie trailer", if you care to see it..

So... what have I been up to?

Yup, that's Anna Paquin... and yup, I was working on a movie set.
I have been on the set of "The Romantics", working on some alterations for the wardrobe dept.
Seriously. An example of a dress I altered to fit Katie Holmes is here.
Examples of the nighties I altered to fit Katie Holmes and Anna Paquin are here.
And the reason I was called to do this job, was mainly to alter this Amsale dress.
And what it all looks like together, can be seen here...
Unglamourous (for me), but quite a scenic, fun, and exciting gig!

How odd is it...?
That just when I have something exciting to share, it is actually too exciting to share? So, I'll write this post now, and share the details later.
I am working on a movie... a big one... stars as famous as famous gets. Projects requiring expertise and creativity. So much fun... and alot of work! Can't say much more than that, but now you know why I am MIA from the blogosphere for a moment...

Hilarious for Project Runway fans...
I hate it when people post links, and don't tell you what they are, or why they feel the need to share...
This is an innovative idea, and a great giggle-inspirer. You can send a friend a phone call or voice email from Tim Gunn with a reminder to watch Project Runway. I don't actually watch this show very often, but the idea is hilarious!
