Fame at last!
There was an exhibition of an Oscar winning costumier's wedding collection at Duff House. It was on throughout January, February and ends this month.
At last I got time to go and have a look round and the designer was there, she hasn't been there on the other days but she was there yesterday. She won her Oscar for the costumes for Dangerous Liasons, she also designed and made the wedding gown in a quirky Christina Ricci film "Penelope" (that dress was actually at the exhibition - it's tiny!).
We started talking and she'd heard of Drac-in-a-Box, had visited the website and liked it a lot! Unbeknown to me she lives about 300 yards from my own front door, so we're having her round to dinner. What a strange world we live in!
