And on the subject of lace clothing, Beyonce wore lace for her show at the Super Bowl this evening designed by up-and-coming designer, Rubin Singer. I think that not that many of us would be seen out in a costume like hers. You can see it at this link - some quite good catches of the lace at ab

I went in to see Janice's Lester lace - which is wonderful, Janice. Well done. You did the gimped veins beautifully. Wow! But when I tried to post a comment (as above!) - of course it wanted me to sign in. Previously I have had no problem, but today, it did not recognise me, and gave a letter and
