Lisa was the star of that show, I can assure you. In fact, Lisa and I had so much fun that when Kippy reran the film she took of all the demos, it made her tear up! Needless to say, more than a little footage will have to be CUT!<BR/><BR/>thanks, Lisa! <BR/><BR/>xxoo<BR/>vickiVickiRossArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09258305858132024962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902607246533124427.post-85951354009253877982008-09-11T09:41:00.000-05:002008-09-11T09:41:00.000-05:00Vicki;i am not a blogger.

I attempted to "post" to your blog yesterday, but encounter a problem...i didn't know how. <BR/><BR/>But this morning, I am determined to try again.<BR/><BR/>I do enjoy receiving your blog and find your stories and updates interesting. I especially like to see your work. You are doing some really good work! Keep it up.<BR/><BR/>The other day when you wrote about the show, the jumping back in the public, and the negative pool you encounter, that is when I was inspired to join in the conversation. <BR/><BR/>We talked a great deal in france. About the show and about the past. As a result, I know that your were concerned about the experience. But you took the bull by the horns and went with it. And I admire that. <BR/><BR/>Getting back in the "public eye" has to sting. And I am sorry the negative energy of some touched you. <BR/><BR/>You have been through hell and survived. And if you asked my opinion, (which you didn't) no one should rain on anybodies parade. So many people are so quick to judge and critique. <BR/><BR/>You are strong and bold. You are talented and spirited. You are honoring Sarah by honoring your life. Do want moves you. Paint, laugh, make us laugh, love, cry, eat good food, and drink good wine. And tell everyone who attempts to rain on your parade to go pound sand. <BR/><BR/>My best, your friend and blog virgin no more, LisaL Ricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16420019507794224431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902607246533124427.post-60939987092649280442008-09-10T22:27:00.000-05:002008-09-10T22:27:00.000-05:00I tried to leave a comment earlier but I think blo...I tried to leave a comment earlier but I think blogspot is having some major problems lately... anyway<BR/><BR/>OMG Betty is such a clever name!!!!!!

Of course I found my portrait...I remember that day when you were trying to get a picture of me, we laughed so hard because I CAN'T be still. Sitting for Mr. Les to do me while in France was excrutiating...every time he would squint down to look at me I would pout thinking he was mad at me! Then I took to crossing my eyes when he would look...anythiing for a laugh!<BR/><BR/>How much for the painting?<BR/><BR/>Red<BR/><BR/>ps: I read every one of your blogs...I have a visual of you and Betty sitting in the middle of the diamond field. I've been there once when I was 12 or so, and that was one time too many!VickiRossArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09258305858132024962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902607246533124427.post-41246933828821801462008-09-10T09:04:00.000-05:002008-09-10T09:04:00.000-05:00Vicki!!

Now I've known you for at least 3 years and damn it, I still feel the same way! I love it when my first assessment was right on! :)<BR/><BR/>One can only admire how you've emerged from your very sad tragedy. You've never really told me the whole story, you know? You don't wear your sadness like you think. I am glad you are reaching out through a medium you love in order to heal yourself. Little Red, you travel near and far for your refueling and I can truly see the wondrous fire lit by your efforts which are manifested in the art you are producing! It's no surprise that people respond positively to your efforts and you are winning awards! They/we see something special is happening yet only a few know it's because we are witnessing a phoenix!<BR/><BR/>LOL ok you've discovered that darn portrait of yours drawn from a photo I took of you with my phone - what was it, my 500th attempt at photographing you that day??? Woman you are a blur!!! Always on the move whether it's talking, laughing, making faces, but you always do it with great passion hahaha! You know I love you little Red Vicki Lou! xox your China Doll - thanks so much for the goose bump post you've made my week! xoxoxArt By Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076726403159256165noreply@blogger.com
