Dear Constant Reader,
One of the really fun things to do at the Expo is shop! I swear the vendors just wait, rubbing their hands in anticipation, for Betty to make the rounds…
I got a couple of treasures this year including
these vintage gloves from Carmen and Ginger. They’re over the elbow black suede with tulle-lined cut outs surrounded by rhinestones. Forgive the quality of the photo, but it’s hard to take a picture of your own arm. You’ll just have to see them in person.
There’s a particular shade of blue that looks just amazing on me. When I first held up a swatch, Scratch said “never wear any other blue”. If you’ve seen my “Blue Angel” act, that’s the one. Scratch found a pair of earrings in my shade at Sparkle! Sparkle! Boston and I just had to get them.
All the Babydolls told me I just had to visit Pink Elephant and look at their hair flowers. I was particularly taken with this purple number and wore it for the judging at the Main Event that very night.
I also picked up some stockings with lovely lace accents (sorry no picture) and a piece of art for B.A.B.E. There were lots more wonderful things, but I showed marvelous restraint.
