And 'live' from Cherry Hill New Jersey, "Here's Robbin, David, Patrick, Gillian, and Terri!!!
1999 Gene Convention
Cherry Hill, Jew Jersey
October 15-17
Hi guys!
We arrived on Wednesday at 12 noon! Spent the day in Philadelphia looking for the Liberty Bell after dragging David and I for 200 miles on foot before we dropped dead from exhaustion. So finally me said let's go fet the %#$@ car and drive to the stupid Bell! So I dropped Patrick and John off with the digital camera to take pictures and David and I drove around the block six times while they photographed the bell whil I drove down the one way street the wrong way, stopped to adk the nice police man next to me, going the right way, "what should I do now?" Pictures to follow this afternoon or evening. Breakfast photos of my friend Jerrold De Wolfe, John, David, Patrick, Gillian, Terri, and Mary Sorrano!
See you later!

This is one of the gowns I sent with Robbin to show to a few people at the convention. I called it "Millenium Lotus" because it is made with beautiful antique kimona brocade woven with real gold threads. Even the satin lining is very old and a perfect match. The bustier is appliqued with a lovely old vintage lace piece. Hope you like it as well as I do! :) Marsha
Now in the collection of David Cook!!
