Eric Halley (of the Halley&#39;s comet family no less) made the most heavenly head dresses. Denise Fieldler and Petrushka in San Francisco made mine (light, of ostrich and peacock feathers to fit into my luggage without breaking…)…<br />Everyone is still taking about it. So happy to hear from you and your enthusiasm and style and taste and sense of fun. fondest DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-33629244073037352772015-02-18T18:48:18.498-08:002015-02-18T18:48:18.498-08:00OMIGOD!!!<br /><br />That party outdid the De Bestegui Ball in Venice; AND Truman Capote&#39;s Black and White Ball in NYC!!!<br /><br />Holy cow; over the top!<br /><br />And YOU LOOK GORGEOUS!!!<br /><br />(you never would let me take your picture!!!)<br /><br />BRAVA!!!!<br /><br />So much FUN!!!!!!!!!!Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-15444509489412842742015-02-17T16:01:03.577-08:002015-02-17T16:01:03.577-08:00Wow what a party.
