Au Revoir Boutique


They call me pinkladymannequin.

Today I leave the comfortable boutique where I have lived as a mascot.  Our visits will end. Memories of unearthing me in an off-beat Paris flea market at 6am in the rain will remain. Green paper has been exchanged for my new adopted family and now I am carried off to add whimsy to my new home..... A home created by the magical mind of Tim Burton and his exceptionally-creative set designer team.
They say I am perfect. They say I have just the right amount of torn, tatter and wear....

...they say my falling and stained body is a muse for the dark, quirky fairytale.

Look for me again, friends, when the visions come alive on screen in 2010. Alice never had THIS wonderland so good!

ditto. i do so envy your word and the clients you have and the people you interact with on a daily basis. I do so love my world and my home, but never get any hollywood style action here in ohio! :)

How exciting to have your girl grow up to be in the movies! It's fun to have this thread to what is going on behind the hollywood scenes Kathy. Thanks for sharing.
