1. Favorite Color:  White (It's a color!)  My garb is mostly black, gold, white, light pink, dark plum and earth tones.  I bought a new pink and black tail at Scarby last weekend!

3. Do you wear jewelry, what type (ex. rings, earrings, necklaces, also gold or silver) and size where appropriate:  I love pearls and that's what I mostly wear with my noble garb.  I've been looking for those really long strands of pearls that the nobles wear with their court gowns, but so far I haven't been able to find any!  I also like pins and brooches, Celtic designs and dangly earrings.  Gold or Silver, doesn't matter to me!

4. One interesting fact about yourself:  Know the book, Broadway musical or movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" or the song "La Grange" by ZZ Top? Well, it's all based on a story that was inspired by the real-life "Chicken Ranch" in La Grange, Texas and I live there.  It's funny how many times I've heard "You mean that place was real?" Yep!  ;)

Package has been sent  ;D

Now What?

rengeek77

That's it!  You wait for yours to arrive!  In the past, people have generally posted once when they send, then when they receive, stating what they got.  Its fun to see the different ideas everyone had.  I am working on mine this weekend to get it out to my secret person!
