[Greeneyed Gypsy]

Really?!?!?
I am not shooting... (yep thats me chicken!!) but I am going to buy some much needed socks and wander around drinking lemonade and spending money...I will look for you! I will have Connie and PT with me along with "cupcake!"

[Nellie Blue]

I will not be dressing "girly" so look for a big straw cowboy hat, suspenders, and range pants...kind of like these! See you there!

[Clancy]

Hey Gypsy, your dress turn out just beautiful!.... It really does look good!... Maybe you should sell the pattern!

The hat is great too......

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

Maybe you should sell the pattern!

......

LOL...well I would but I think Heather might have something to say about that....LOL

I used the Tea Gown, the 1872 vested Basque and the 201 Underskirt! :rofl

Thanks all I will try to get a good photo with out the gun belt and wilted hair for you soon.

[Kitty Phann]

GG,

You did an awesome job on the dress. How did the shooting the show with it go? Emily "Cupcake" looks like she had a wonderful time. :007 .

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

Oh geez... I forgot! They asked me to bring two VERY simple prairee style dresses (YUCK!) then when I got there I met Lady Stetson in all her glory (figures!) So long story short it didnt get filmed...But Lady Stetson and her Hubbie are very sweet and the folks who make the leather pouches for SASS with the badges in them? They were there too, very very sweet folks...as always it was an honor and a joy to be able to participate.Sunday Morning cowgirl what makes lovely hats...Wyatt Emp who sells antique guns and is a member of our monthly group ect ect ect...I really should write all the names down so many VERY talented folks!

I still dont have an air date, and I do know that the two shows I have been in, will be in this new season so I will Keep you posted...they are Wild west Tech..."Masacares II" and "Vices"

[Four-Eyed Buck]

GG, nice dress. And girls, I usually get into trouble for taking pics of backsides :re :w2 ...........Buck :cgun

[Catawba Kate]

That's a great dress GG and to think you can even shoot in it!!!
Did your hubby leave today? So sad, but my thoughts and prayers are with you and him. :2

[Coffee Em]

Gypsy, the dress came out PERFECT! It's fabulous! You might want to be careful about the company you keep, though; I'd swear a couple of those fellas dress just like those boys down in the Yuma Territorial Prison... :ruff

Oh, lordy, I'd forgotten Matt was to leave before the end of the month. Tell him, head down, spirits up, and he'll be in our thoughts and prayers. And so will you and the littles!

Ima, nice shootin' (of photos!), and thanks for posting--I love to see pics from everyone's matches! One of these days, I swear, I'm going to one...

Buck, you just have to make sure the backsides are dressed in fancy-draped bustles!

Cheers,
Coffee Em

[Sarah Bernhardt]

GG.
Your dress turned out fantastic... Can't wait to see you on TV

GG & Nellie,
What is the John Wayne event your are talking about and when & where?

Ima,
Was wondering if you had gotten a chance to make the prison :ruff outfit for Lumpy. Glad to see a photo of your creation.

Sarah B.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Ima, long story short. When I was working, I'd take pictures in from shoots. the ladies were always kidding me about the pics being from behind.
Since most of them were action shots taken during actual stages, you can imagine why they were from behind.......Buck :cgun :D

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

Thanks again every one...Yes the hubbie has C-5'ed himself over to the big sand box. I hope to have word of his safe arrival in a day or so (he left thursday) We both are deeply grateful for all the overwhelming love and support we get, I was recently surprised to meet a military wife who is a very liberal democrat and had some (to me anyway ) extreemly scary views on our President and our presence in Iraq. It was a shock and an eyeopener for me ( I thought all the crazy people lived in Hollywood) anyway...my oppinion of national politics aside, We (hubbie and I) thoughtfully choose this life, and we are very proud to live what we feel is a life of service. That others recognize and appreciate the sacrifice involved with that choice litterally brings tears to my eyes...we are both touched...deeply, even if we can not always find the words to say thankyou properly.

Greeneyed (sniffle...now stop it or I will gets tear marks on the fabric!) Gypsy

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

GG, I vote for the lime green and purple!!!! :tban

And, sweetie, I want you to know that you have a support system here. We may be on the other side of the country, but if you need us, just pick up the phone and call. ;phone You and your family are making huge sacrifices so that the rest of us can live in country where we can have this great sport we call SASS. GG, you are a remarkable woman and I want to thank you for choosing a life that meant your husband was protecting me and mine. Love ya girl! Send Matt our love too! :kiss

[Nevada Skye]

Hi Gypsy! Your dress looks great, be sure and tell us when the episodes are on TV, wouldn't want to miss them!

Prayers going out for the quick and safe return of your hubbie. My family has had a lot of military service, from Uncles in WWI to my husbands support in Thailand for Vietnam to newphews in Iraq. Pretty well true blue, red and white here!

When we get back from our trip I would like to talk to you ;phone about making a corset for me - in wild colors! Skye

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

Didt I say stop it?!?!? didnt I didnt I ?!?!?!

Tissue fuzz all over the silk... :nuhnuh

Skye dear anytime...I LOVE wild colors!! :bow

[Nellie Blue]
