    It hangs in her dining room, so I get to enjoy it whenever I visit. Found in a thrift, the inside label reads "Property of Western Costume."

    Anyhoo. She's fun!

    Here she is hanging out at Theadora Van Runkle's house, far left. Note the Bonnie and Clyde costume sketches. 2019-05-27 15.16.47.jpg

    She was an only child, and seems her mother was rrrrrreallllly crazy (her words) so she made up her mind she was going to have FUN!! And I think she nailed it.

    Some of us have met real pearlies. They do a great deal for charity in London: very strict rules on who can be one, and there are now many of non white ethnicity, too.
