Hi again...

Got my package as promised on Monday. Hurray!

As for its contents...

"The Dance" blouse in black velvet and chiffon sleeves -- lovely, no problems.

I also ordered a shawl cusom-made in imitation of the Gold Dust Woman shawl from The Dance and beyond -- what I received was a much smaller shawl than what I ordered, and the colour represented on the site was sort of misleading. [What I received was much paler, more akin to the "Say Goodbye" shawl, you know the one, or US Festival '83 than the GDW.] It's still a lovely piece though -- but not exactly what I paid for, you know?

I'll post photos if and when I can.

Did any of you guys ... or girls (or maybe guys after all) ... ever buy a pair of boots from Pasquale Di Fabrizio, the little Italian man who made Stevie's boots for a long time?

I see a lot of Stevie acts out there & they look good except for their boots. The boots always look like go-go boots these ladies might find at a sex shop on Hollywood Boulevard. They aren't Stevie's custom platforms with the suede. Stevie's boots look very sharp & sort of low-key, compared with the platform boots people buy for themselves, which always look kinky & sort of S&M.

I absolutely do not mean to dish any dirt but has anyone heard from Bear lately? If not, I understand and I don't want to start any bashing wars...I'm more concerned than anything else.

Never bought anything from DiFabrizio, unfortunately. He must have quit by the time I came along. I bought two pair from Maya in Hollywood at around $300 pr. Take a look at the picture in the Enchanted box set where she's wearing the red skirt and beige boots... that's what Maya makes. I wanted Bella Donna era boots but Maya won't make them because they say most people don't want to walk around on something that tall. (HUH?... I guess unless you're talking fetish boots which is different.)

I agree, the fetish boots do cheapen a look-alike outfit. I would opt for the Maya boots, even though they seem to go too far the other direction. They're almost so low of platform that you miss the whole idea of the Stevie look. Hhmm... maybe if I offered them enough $$$$....

I ordered from Bear a year ago this coming Friday....she didn't send me the order by the date I needed it...kept delaying and delaying when I asked her about it...the last time I heard from her (or rather her roommate, who claimed that Bear was sick and in the hospital) was December. She's been ignoring my emails ever since. I know she's back to work - she updated her website in late March and again in April.

I've had to take the rather drastic step of reporting her to an online fraud agency here in Canada and to the Better Business Bureau in the States. I'm in the process of trying locate her myself...no real luck yet.

If she is, as it's been suggested here, swamped with orders, she shouldn't be taking on new ones until she's finished the old ones. I know for a fact that she has been taking on new orders in the last couple of months.

I really wish I'd seen this site before I ordered. I could have saved myself and my family a lot of aggravation.
