Comments and questions

I am happy to receive your email comments and questions. There are a few things to keep in mind if you contact me:

1. At the moment, I am taking a break from most of my larger projects. I am dealing with some medical issues and I have very little energy. If you would like to contact me, you may email me at courtesan(at)netzero(dot)com, or look for me on MySpace under my name. I am also on Tribe, and I have a LiveJournal under 'laroberouge." Keep in mind that I am having trouble with typing and comprehending the screen, so I check email infrequently.  I'm trying to get re-involved with the costume community,so I hope to get Voice Recognition software so I don't have to type. I miss everyone very much, and I miss the community more.  

2. If you are inspired by the work on these pages,  please use the links page to start on your own research. There are a lot more costume resources out there, you might start with the GBACG web site. www.GBACG.org I'm not able to answer your questions directly at the moment.

3. Normally, I check my email infrequently as I am busy with my work! So don't be disheartened if you don't get an answer right away. I may not be able to answer your question, as I get pretty manic and cranky.At the moment of course I am also not feeling well, so it is a lot harder. Please forgive me and use the site and the links to help you answer your questions.

Thank you for visiting these pages. I hope they have served to inspire you.

More Costume Images

There are some more images of my work in a Yahoo Photo album, if you'd like to see them.
I'll be transfering most of the images to this site eventually.
There is also a gallery of images from a Moulin Rouge! costume exhibit at FIDM in San Francisco, with a lot of detail photos as well as full length photos of six costumes on exhibit there after the film opened in America in 2001.

The Greater Bay Area Costumers Guild and other plans

For more information about our events and workshops see the Guild web site at www.gbacg.org.

Costume Clinics are now known as "Costume Salons." Last year Lisa Swehla took over the Costume Clinics and Sewing Circles. For more info, check the GBACG's web site.

I may be at The Great Dickens Christmas Faires in Northern California during Christmas time. If you happen attend any of these events, feel free to introduce yourself. I love to meet other costumers! If I'm in character, bear with me!

I'm also planning on attending Costume Con 27 and hopefully I'll be well enough to come out of my room and party! I worked very hard to manage the Hall Costume Awards at CC26, here in California, and didn't see much of the convention. I don't want to make the mistake again!
