Wow! This event is beginning to sound most impressive, Bear. I look forward to seeing those gardens you mention. I doubt there is much I can do at this distance, but I am meeting Howie Nicholsby on Saturday - (he of "TFCK") - who put on the New York "Dressed to Kilt" fashion show. Would you like me to sound him out about some sort of participation?

Howie is a keen businessman, and is unlikely to travel so far unless there is guaranteed good publicity and/or sales opportunities. It might be better to leave him out until your own plans are firmer. Let me know.

I'm happy to do some catwalk work for you - if you are looking for "the older man"!!!!
