Beautiful fabrics (from beautiful paintings), I find that the colors give a sensitivity to her work that op-art sometimes lacked.

Paul,

Thanks for all the encouraging words. I took a brief tour of your blog. Some very interesting things. I promise to read more. And I am soooo jealous that your friend dated McQueen. He is a god! Also, I love love love Bette Davis as a blonde.
