Hello Darlin’s,
The Fillies are extremely happy to welcome Miss Janét Vincent Lee on Monday.
Miss Janét is filling in for our own Winnie Griggs who is attending a writing conference. Miss Janét comes with a long list of “western” credentials. The dear lady is a costume consultant for one thing. She designs and sews old west clothes. For another thing, she’s participated in countless old west reenactments and has gotten to shoot people for a living. Miss Janét will talk about that and also tell us about The Cross Creek Cowboys.
You might be interested in her book called “Ladies Fashions of the 1880’s Southwest.” She’ll tell you how to get one if you take a notion to do that.
On top of everything, you’ll have a chance to win one of Winnie Griggs’s books from her backlist.
Ah know you’ll want to shake a leg and hightail it over to the Junction tomorrow.
Don’t be a stranger now, you hear.
When I'm not keepin' all these Fillies in line, I'm practicing my roping so I can catch me a cowboy. Me and Jasper (my mule) are two peas in a pod. Both of us are as crotchety as all get-out.
Janet, what gave you the inspiration to become an old west designer of ladies’ fashion?
