Love this! That mermaid suit - supercool, what a find! So many of us are with you on this - don’t stop singing your own song and banging the drum against fast fashion! Xx

Fabulous piece here. The thing is Catherine, from what I've seen, all your performing outfits are bright and bold eye-catchers, look great on you, and certainly add to your stage presence. The fact that you've adopted an ethical stance in acquiring them can only be seen as a bonus, and you should be applauded for that. Big respect!

at nineteen, while living/traveling around central california, used to sport a long lime green bubble rain coat…the kind of vintage attire an unconscious-to-fashion grandma would wear when hunkering down to the market for her basic supplies in the name of pure practicality and comfort. Wonder what happened to that thing 🤔 Tanx for sharing own tales of afore and beyond and hear-hear to the thrift ravagers!

I had a lime green leather trench coat. In fact, I must still have it somewhere!

pic or it didn't happen (playin don't kill me ;). But, yah, that would be interesting to see if end up finding in yer vast closet of used coloured apparel. Wish still had mine...though in thirty years it must be thoroughly tore-up-from-tha-floor-up by now. May also need to perform a lime green search of my own...

I'm quite impressed how you as a very private and inadvert person manage to "bang your own drum" and perform as a musician and even in your everyday life wear clothes that, let's say, is different. You are a courageous and strong person
