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!


Order your copy of Waisted Curves... today!  Read the fascinating account of a modern woman living a Victorian life!

Waisted Curves: My Transformation Into A Victorian Lady is now finished, and ready for sale!  Order your copy of this much-anticipated true story today!

Hi Everyone!
As those of you who've been following my blog know, I've been working on a book about my experiences wearing corsets and historical clothing.  Recently, I went to the University of Washington to do some background research, brushing up on the books I'd studied when I first started wearing corsets, so that I could properly city my sources.  I arrived a bit early, so I worked on the manuscript a bit while I waited for the library to open.  Seeing me writing, a passing gentleman asked to take my picture.  How kind!
