Can anyone help Rebecca?

"Help!  I am desperate to get a photo of Carson Kressley holding up a tutu that I made.  I am wondering if any of your community may have such a thing.

"It aired on Episode #211 of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, “Bring in the Clowns” and occurred as part of the fashion tip segment at the end.  It is a lavender tutu with a white skirt.  If anyone has video capture or whatever, I would be most interested!!  Here is a picture."

Contact me, please"  

 

Robbie:  "You may like to see the McCain Oven Chips advert showing currently in the UK"

 

Misha:  "Here is a link to a 1950 square dance video, with longer skirts on the dresses. I personally prefer this to the overly
stiff poufiness of the standard modern square dance petticoat.  There is also a short discussion about this video here.
