Gino’s original design for my dress
Ahh Gino….
Through the magic of virtuality
the strides made today in technology,
I stand once more by your side..
wearing your latest design,
off to somewhere
full of beautiful people
inside and out
outside and in..
And here we come,
light on our feet
full of charisma & charm
because we’re sharing the energy..
that makes us walk into the room
full of confidence, excitement
and….”Vavoom!!”
Ahh Gino…those were the days!!
