Vogue magazine raved about this collection saying in part; 'With pop chanteuse Regina Spektor at the grand piano in his 583 Park Avenue show space, the designer sent out a Fall collection of impeccable clothes for gals young and old who are accustomed to the good life' .... They then went on to mention this gown specifically; 'Come evening, the collection went two ways: understated, as with a trio of black columns in velvet, hammered satin, and silk crepe; or gala. Gustav Klimt's work was a reference point not only for a strapless floral chiffon embroidered dress accessorized with several strands of beads, but also for a pair of black gowns—one in a realistic (gold-) leaf motif and the other in a more abstract brushstroke style.' The twin of this dress was the brushstroke dress they referred to and was Look 61 on the runway.

The dress is made out of a very light weight black matte satin silk. The light weight of the fabric is absolutely intentional. It is just heavy enough to be able to hold and carry the hand painted brush strokes that have been applied onto it, but is still light enough that with every move it billows out around and behind you. I have included the clip of Jessica Stam walking the runway in it so that you can see the effect as it moves. The bodice is strapless and the fabric is hand gathered over it in soft folds. It is shaped to accentuate the bust. Below that, the skirt is very full and billows out and around you beautifully. It skims over the hip and then flows to the floor. At the back it is longer and extends out into a train. At the base of the back there is a large bow made out of the same fabric and even this is done in just a single layer of silk so that it too moves and flows with you as you walk. From the side this creates a beautiful curving angle from the waist to back hem. No matter what angle you see the dress it is stunning. The fabric itself has been hand painted with gold and copper brush strokes and to further highlight these there are little areas of hand applied gold sequins, others are detailed in a gold glitter and there are rhinestones scattered here and there as well. It is stunning. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a black silk through the bodice and a black silk organza through the skirt. It closes with a back hidden set zipper.  Light boning through the bodice. Tagged a modern ODLR 8. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little. All of the detailing has been done by hand

It's rare to see this kind of representation in a book for tweens, and I am 100% here for it!
Format: Hardcover
My 9-year-old daughter loved this book. It's about two 6th grade witches (Delpha and Katybird) from rival Appalachian families who are learning how to use their magic. The book is told from both of their points of view. As a parent, I was pleasantly surprised by the different types of representation in this book and how sensitively they are handled. Delpha's dad left her and her mom when Delpha was little, and they now live in poverty. Delpha's mom is struggling to pay the bills and sells her family heirlooms to Katybird's grandparents, who run a small museum. Katybird is intersex (androgen sensitive) and believes this is messing with her magical powers. Katy's brother Caleb is Deaf and communicates with sign language. Another character, Tyler, has two moms. It's super rare to see this kind of representation in a book for tweens, and I am 100% here for it. There's a great scene where Katy reflects on attending another girl's "first moon party" and the attendees share stories about getting their first periods. When the other girls hear that Katy will never have a period due to her androgen sensitivity, they are shocked and treat her with pity and say they will pray for her. Katy is upset because she already loves and accepts herself. "As if making babies was the whole point of me existing," she thinks to herself. I seriously loved this example of how well-intentioned behavior can be hurtful. I also liked how characters getting their first periods is treated as something magical and worthy of celebration. There is so much about this book that is like a breath of magical fresh air. In addition to all the beautiful inclusive elements woven into this book, it's just really FUN. There is a pet raccoon, an enchanted outhouse, zombies, and hexes that go wrong. The only minor complaint my daughter had was that the plot relies repeatedly on the two main characters being separated and looking for each other. Otherwise, this book was a winner with our young reader. Write more books, Ash Van Waterloo! We love you!

Emotional development...
Format: Hardcover
Cattywampus Ash Van Otterloo This is the story of Delpha McGill, a girl that doesn’t like rules or keeping secrets. Delpha lives in a small town in rural Appalachia, Howler’s Hollow, where magic is not permitted. She discovers her grandmother’s hidden book of spells which she is determined to use to help her mother. Katybird Hearn has her own reasons for wanting to get her hands on the book of spells and has resolved nobody is going to stand in her way. She comes from a long line of witches. In the midst of their squabble, they unintentionally allow a curse to escape. The curse is so evil it wakes their dead ancestors, the Hearns and the McGills, The two girls must learn to work together if they are going to save the town from the zombies. The author uses great sensitivity in incorporating androgen insensitivity in the plot. Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a condition that affects sexual development before birth and during puberty. People with this condition are genetically male, with one X chromosome and one Y chromosome in each cell. Because their bodies are unable to respond to certain male sex hormones (called androgens), they may have mostly female external sex characteristics or signs of both male and female sexual development. Poverty, sorcery, fears, friendship, and ignorant biases are all a part of this book. Author Ash Van Otterloo portrays life in a southern country town in the mountains and he does so without being demeaning or patronizing. The characters are well fleshed out. While magic is part of the plot, it is merely a means to showcase the emotional development of the two girls. This is a fast-paced read. The target audience is 10-13 years of age.

Fun if a bit offbeat upper elementary fantasy
Format: Hardcover
I read this in one afternoon and have to say I enjoyed it. The cast of characters are incredibly diverse, and for the most part this is a believable story (despite the undead magicians and ridiculous outhouse) This story is a "Hatfields vs McCoys" if the two hillbilly families were magicians and were feuding over how they practice instead of over moonshine and land. This brings me to my first gripe with the novel. The dense dialogue in accents. For a middle grade book, the text is filled with a lot of phonetic spellings and backwards english. I guess it is to be atmospheric, but it just makes the characters seem dumb. And that is sad because they are not. Stubborn, and sometimes too preoccupied to see what is under their noses but not stupid. I sometimes felt that the characters had been written into a corner so there were multiple instances of "because magic" and convenient acts of random fortuitous "we have everything we need and don't have to search more because the Luck Gods were smiling". Once or twice I completely missed how the characters got from point A to point B and I Really dislike "wave a wand and everything is good and the mortals forget what happened". A little convenient magic written to solve a solution is fine. But the ending sort of feels a little flat when a Major concern for the entire novel is resolved by sleight of hand. On the whole though, the characters are likable, and age appropriate (though a bit whiny at times for this parent ;-p) and I liked that diversity isn't a "cause" its just an adjective...As in, there is a gay couple who act like every other parent in the story. There is a deaf younger brother who isn't treated as 'precious' but as a functioning human. Even one of the main characters is intersex and does question "Am I girl enough to be a witch". None of the cast of characters feels forced or out of place making this a nice addition to my kid's library. ARC free in exchange for an honest review.

Format: Hardcover
As parents, we absolutely love the author’s books, and this one—Construction Site: A Thankful Night—is no exception! The lift-the-flap feature keeps our kids engaged, and they love discovering the surprises hidden inside. The story is perfect for Thanksgiving, teaching kids about gratitude in a fun and interactive way. The colorful illustrations and familiar construction site characters make it even more enjoyable for our little ones. We’re huge fans of this series, and our kids can’t get enough! Highly recommend for young readers!
