“It would be a terrific innovation if you could get your mind to stretch a little further than the next wisecrack." Katherine Hepburn
If you put on a costume, you can become anyone or anything your mind can conjure. Hence, I love designing, making, renting, and selling costumes of all kinds. Never wear them, though. . . . .
About Me
- The Costume Lady
- I am a mother, grandmother, costume designer, 'closet' writer, moderately conservative liberal, who still really wants to believe in "happily ever after".

Falling Through The Cracks
It was the earthiness of Pope John XXIII which appealed to so many people, Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Is there a danger in today's climate with so many demands of compliance from government and even church that we become so "professional" that we lose sight of the human persons involved? Does a whole variety of services guarantee that many people will not "fall between the cracks"? Do those of us in positions of leadership and authority remain close to people at the "grass-roots", ready to listen to their stories of pain, abuse and neglect? (Bishop Pat Power)
