And now I will be known as that horrible person who said that your mother's dress is like a rock biter's. Needless to say, your mother looks so incredibly chic and elegant (and nothing like that movie) that I need to be begging her pardon a million times. Luckily for me, you both have such a great sense of humor and don't persecute people for being total idiots! I think I must have a perpetual case of foot-in-mouth... Those last 2 portraits are absolutely gorgeous!
