Success in the Big Apple

I gave a fashion show/workshop at the Jane Austen Society of North America's (JASNA) yearly conference. The AGM (annual general meeting) had about 750 participants. JASNA  and it's AGMs have the perfect mixture of academics and civilian members. The presence of the academics keeps everyone honest and the civilians make it fun.

As befitting the media center of the world, the conference was covered by the major newspapers. With much glee, I discovered I was mentioned in articles in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Huzzah!
