Great idea! Just created a page ...Dearest Kendal!<br /><br />Great idea! Just created a page for that; did the invite; hope you can find it.<br /><br />Just wanted to let you know I received your fantastic new pix -- you rock aqua/turquoise big time Kendal! I love your #5 looks, both of them. And your new #2 "Dendrobium" is simply enchanting. Something about an ivory blouse + scarf just brings out the best in both.<br /><br />Should we ask Azalie to update the list to add your pix for #5 "Satory ---> Satori"?<br /><br />also, if there are no takers for #7, I have the perfect scarf for that outfit, and oldie oldie, but a goodie.<br /><br />more later,<br />xoxo<br />sammie<br />Sammie Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058523355630639992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-79388551873745130692015-04-09T13:18:42.878+02:002015-04-09T13:18:42.878+02:00Good morning!

Sometimes it takes a few iterations to get the details just right, and as you point out, seeing 'proofs' can help us refine details that might have been overlooked the first time 'round. <br /><br />And, you hit upon a topic that I think is really important w/ these collages--you have to be happy and satisfied w/ the ensemble you put together. When ya look great, ya feel great and that truly shows in photos. <br /><br />Azalie asked how we are to accomplish the pre-screen/share to refine our ensembles...<br /><br />How about email for now, since there's only about 3 or 4 of us so far. Here's my email:<br /><br />560nanometers@gmail.com<br /><br />OK Kendal...looking forward to your new iteration of ensemble(s). As for rules/guidelines, gosh...I don't wish to restrict any of our Swans from their own personal interpretation of MaiTai's genius ensembles....<br /><br />Can we just say...anything goes, as long as it's in good taste that we think MaiTai would approve of? <br /><br />Lemme know how that sounds/works for you.<br /><br />xoxo<br />sammieSammie Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058523355630639992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-27108803385296827072015-04-09T08:53:26.849+02:002015-04-09T08:53:26.849+02:00Hey Azalie,

What do you think of sharing our ideas on Google Drive? If you don't have a Gmail account, you can create one, upload what we have and then invite us to join and comment. Ms. MaiTai may have to assist with email address sharing if that is okay with everyone.

Shall ...Hi there Greenies, and especially Jerrine!<br /><br />Shall I update the list? I'm prepared, for example, to say that anything with a dark top / dark trousers at the core is "Satory" (or maybe "Satori," to go all Zen-geeky here: "seeing into one's true nature" -- cuz what's a truer insight than "I look fantastic in black"???).

I can see a lovely still life now, bath gel, spa robe and the sandals??... and thanks Sammie for the idea of a pre-share and the okay for multiples. Eeek! No way do my ensembles approach beautiful MaiTai's but I do feel happy for having tried! This has been a great learning experience for me...I've long admired you swans who contribute to the collages, but now I'm even more impressed with the selfie photo skills and ensembles on display!

I actually haven't worn them in years, but I just can't bear to consign them to the Goodwill bag. <br /><br />When I wore them, Azalie, I paired them with, what else, black. But, as I had nothing else in green, they were kind of, shall we say, lost in translation. They were lonesome!<br /><br />Just to make the Swans happy (and to quiet sammie down a bit before she has a stroke), I'll see what I can come up with and will send a photo off to our beloved leader. First I have to find the old things. I can barely remember what they look like, though. No kitten heel, though, sammie. I think they have more of a 2" or less square heel. I wasn't too good with those kittens. But, they're definitely green.<br /><br />Will dig in closet tonight.

I love that classic criss cross slide Manolo used to do in Alligator. I think it had a kitten heel, and it fit like a dream.

That way, if we need to adjust some detail here/there, we won't be sending our wonderful patient MaiTai a dozen updates w/ notes!!! (oh, and Kendall, I'm not referring to your update; that's different simply bcuz your style sheet has many many variations that simply cannot be covered in just a 2 ensembles.)<br /><br />LeSalonSwans, this is getting really fun, and even more interesting--we're adding another layer to this project...the challenge of bringing our ensembles to MaiTai standards of refinement and sophistication. <br /><br />oh, it may take the universe and Milky Way to do that, but I'm all in trying and enjoying every minute of the process in sharing w/ y'all!<br /><br />sing it, swing it sistas!!!<br /><br />xoxo<br />sammieSammie Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058523355630639992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-36958223728099404732015-04-06T22:35:36.819+02:002015-04-06T22:35:36.819+02:00(Scraping herself off floor, and asking timidly),
