[h-cost] antique dress form?

2009-03-16 Thread jm...@yahoo.com

Did you also check out the one by Maya Pllisetskaya? I think I saw her do it ages ago. My parents took me to the ballet whenever the big companies came to town. IMHO, she was a lot better than Pavlova. Love the Trockadero costume. Sylvia R On Mar 16, 2009, at 3:24 PM,
