Congratulations to Ellen! It was such a pleasure to have met her and to find out that she ONLY had FIVE weeks to design, and create, the costumes for "Behind The Candelabra". It is with special pleasure to have found out that she had won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Costume Design for a Movie, Miniseries, Special. Needless to say, I had a special kinship to all those sparkles--and the amazing craftsmanship of her designs!

This past Saturday--along with my partner David Paul--I had the privilege of attending the Opening Night party for the exhibition which was held in the Hope Park adjacent to the FIDM Downtown L.A. campus . The party featured lots of food and the beverage sponsors were Beaulieu Vineyard and Grey Goose Vodka so you know the guests were quite happy. But the real treats were the Costumes, of course. The exhibit features over 120 costumes from 15 shows including...
