Last Fall: A Little Trip Down Memory Lane, Courtesy of Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang

If you are going to put together your own validation squad, as Twyla Tharp suggests (see yesterday's post, below), the best captain you could ever, ever hope for would be... 

Deanna Vukovatz Watson.  

Pondering this, today, it seemed crucial to say thank you for all the wonderous feats she has accomplished, over the years, as the captain of the VTDVS. 

Thank you, D, with more gratitude than I can possibly put into words.

In honor of her marvelousness: a few happy snaps, with sweet memories attached, from a photo shoot last fall featuring the one and only Michelle Watson as Truly Scrumptious, from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."

Thanks, also, to Dustin and Jasmine of the

Dustin David Salon in Los Gatos 

for the impeccable hair and make-up. 

You are always superb!
