    Lady Jane is having a wonderful time. I'm not sure I'll be able to get her to come home. She says it's so elegant and posh!!!!! She loves all the beautiful clothes and has made many dress form friends. Just put her in a taxi if she gets too out of control!!!

    I am so sorry I didn't get to enter the ball this year...my dress form was not available to be viewed, lets just say she had a party of her own...(alcohol might have been involved) she isn't sharing the details. LOL
    Hopefully next year we can re-join and be on our best behavior-we hope!
    Thanks for a great time and I know everyone had a great time.

    Hi Carol!! Thank you for hosting such a fun event! I pondered about doing this and then late last night I decided this would be so fun! I worked all night and all day today taking photos of the girls and getting them ready for a blog post. Was so hoping the ball wouldn't end before I got it done lol. Well I have to say this was so much fun. Thank you for having the girls, and for watching over them lol....I loved your post on my blog. You are too fun woman! Can't wait for the next one! Maybe by then I can get my other 6 girls ready to attend too! I love mannequins and have a never ending need to need to have more of them!

    I love your girls and can't wait to get some more time to finish visiting all your other guests! Some beautiful girls out there!

    Hope to see you at the Fancy Flea this year!

    Thanks again you sweet thing....this was awsome!
