l A copy of "Waisted Curves..." went off to Finland earlier this week! Special thanks and a wish for the best of fortune in the new year go out to the reader in Orimattila, Finland!

Waisted Curves: My Transformation Into A Victorian Lady describes how my manner of dress leads to some quite unique opportunities - and the adventures are ongoing. (Perhaps a sequel will eventually be in order!) 


A few weeks after completion of Waisted Curves, I had a wonderful experience modeling for a group of local painters.  We were recreating Manet's famous Victorian painting, "Nana."  It was an honor to pose for such a warm-hearted and kind group of artists.  You can see one of the results here:

And this was from an earlier sitting with the same group:

I'd like to give a special thanks to all the lovely folks who braved wind and floods to see Gabriel and me present "50 Years of Victorian Fashion" at Bremerton's Sylvan Way library today.  (You can read more about our clothing collection on my other website, www.chrismancollection.weebly.com .)  This presentation dovetailed quite nicely with the release of my new book, Waisted Curves: My Transformation Into A Victorian Lady, and I appreciate all the interest which was shown in it.  The book was only completed a few weeks ago, but readers from three different countries have already bought copies!  A hearty thanks goes out to them!
