RE: Open All Hours - 164

Morning all

I just got back from the land of nod where all is warm quiet and peaceful.

Phil

This is my niece (Gill Cockwell) who lives in Bristol and runs her own company designing and making wedding dresses and corsets, she's appearing in a new BBCseries in November.
If you ever want a corset SB I'm sure Gill will sort you out ha ha.
Here's a write up about the show.

The Dressmaker
Featured in episodes 2-6

Gill (31) is a master crafts woman – she's a designer, dressmaker and corsetry specialist. She began her sewing career at the tender age of six and was sketching designs and fashioning garments by the time she was 10.

As part of her evolving portfolio, Gill has become an experienced stylist, working regularly with commercial photographers and respected hair salons on magazine photo shoots and catwalk shows
At the moment she is in San Francisco on her way to Mexico.

Sorry to seem a bit thick (i didn't realise anyone made corsets nowadays ), but what have corsets got to do with hair salons ?Mike

Mike

Stop knit picking, she can come and do my hair or fit me for a corset or even measure me for a dress anytime she wants to.

Phil

What can I say, she's my niece.

To answer Mikes question, she works for a lot of tv studios and makes the costumes for them, and works in conjunction with hair stylists
and make-up etc.

And this is my other niece her sister Stacey, I'm very proud of them.

Been nice and sunny here all day, now just started to rain, just made a huge cottage pie, and been given two boxes of chocolate whisky liquers,
Guess what I'll be scoffing tonight.

Whereabouts in Bristol John, I spent some of my misspent youth in Bristol it was a good town in the 60's. I could tell you a tale or two about Bristol & Bath.

hi hi, Bác Signman.
This web is fashion.
She is beautiful

All lovely John .

A blind pedigree dog has had an 'extreme' facelift which means she is able to see for the first time since being born a year ago. Molly, a Shar Pei, had a condition called entropion where folds of skin rubbed against the eyes.

The painful disease left the puppy unable to see - but she has now had her sight restored after two operations last week.

Vet Richard Marks removed the offending skin and stitched it to the back of her head.

He said the dog was suffering from the worst case of entropion he had ever seen, adding the dog's disability was caused by severe inbreeding.

Her owner Louise Walsh, from Romford in Essex, reportedly bought Molly for £500 in September, but has already paid £720 in vet bills.

The Kennel Club announced new regulations to prevent close family mating last year.



A pox on these so called breeders
