WHERE IS THE BROWN DRESS NOW?
The brown dress "walked out" of my final performance at the end of the project year and somebody else -- I don't yet know who! -- has launched their own little narrative starring the dress.
If you want to talk to my brown dress, become it's virtual "friend", or suggest an adventure for it, email it's new keeper(s?) at littlebrowndress@gmail.com.
I hope the dress will alert us to it's travels via it's new Myspace blog - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=93219463
