I’m nodding with Inge on the frustration on not being able to read the pics. BUT the photo is super and I love the way the whole picture includes everything that echoes your inspiration.

Congratulations!

Nodding along with Jane: you look a-ma-zing in the picture!!!

I agree, it's so frustrating that Chicago Tribune doesn't allow readers to access the site from Europe. That's nutty! I will eventually get a PDF of the article and will come back and post it here.

I am so touched by everyone's comments. Thank you to everyone who took time to comment - that means a lot. Grateful for you all!

Thanx Angie for posting the pictie, link will not work for the EU. Laura you look terrific-congrats!

Wow- thanks for sharing the photo and article. What an interesting pursuit and you look great! Nice way to incorporate purple tones.

You look fantastic and I just love that you did this. What a great idea and interesting thing to do. I also grew up listening to and loving Prince and was lucky enough to see him in concert in 1984 at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit Also had his posters on my wall lol.
