Last month at Murder By The Book, Johnnie and Matt slyly sneaked a shopping bag to me before the Foolish Hearts/Best Gay Romance 2014 book signing. Apparently they did a bit of shopping when they were last in New York City, including a trip to Mood, everybody’s favorite designer fabric store.
While there, they purchased fabric for me that we all know we’ll see sometime in the future adorning any number of Mattel Muses.
But that’s not all. They also gave me a Fashion Mix & Match Barbie!
As it happens, they’d taken her shopping with them to Mood, where they were helped by Noel, so that’s the name they gave her. (I hope Mood’s Noel is spelled that way, because I already have a Noelle who wouldn’t appreciate having her name given to someone else.)
Thank you SO SO MUCH, Matt and Johnnie. I’m sure Noel had a great time in NYC with you two. Now she’s settling into the work room here–in good company.
Notice her shopping bag, which is a gift Mark G. Harris sent me long ago. Tim Gunn, you may remember, is courtesy of Marika.
I know the best and most generous people. =)
and they all know you so well!
Yes, thank goodness.
My visit to Mood a couple of years ago was overwhelming. I would blow my Runway budget 5 seconds inside the door.
I would never be able to buy fabric as quickly as they have to. I’d spend the first ten minutes just staring in awe.
How very cool!!
Good friends!
For a minute, I thought that was the Olympic Women’s Ice Skating Champion Barbie.
It’s Barbie. She can bring home the gold and sew it up in a… well, “pan” doesn’t really work here, does it? =)
