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!!

What a beautiful and inspiring text! It’s amazing how the magic of virtuality can connect us and give us the feeling of being together in one place – full of style, charisma, and positive energy. Your words radiate so much self-confidence and joy of life that one can almost feel the lightness and the ‘Vavoom’. Thank you for sharing this wonderful mood!
