Dear fledglings,

Thank you to everyone who attended Quail Bell's "Once Upon a Time II: Forgotten Folklore" fashion show at Selba last Thursday. What magic! We had a wide range of talented folk, ranging from designers to stylists to models to make-up artists and more. Their hard work and enthusiasm made for QB's best fashion show yet.

I'm especially grateful to Julie DiNisio (show director), Brian McDaniel (MC), R.A.I.N. (who provided the hair/make-up artists), and Selba. Selba truly proved to be the elegant venue the whole QB Crew was hoping for. I'm also thrilled that so many stores in Richmond, Virginia were willing to participate. Everyone from Rumors to Halcyon lent the show the aesthetic we needed to tell tales of Richmond's forgotten folklore. Which reminds me--I have to also thank the city of Richmond for its history and urban legends. If Richmond weren't such an old, strange place, how else could we have come up with such an original fashion show concept? (Specific kudos to Jade Miller for that idea.)

All in all, I'm floored that we put on such an incredible show and I'm very thankful for everyone who came out that night. Check out forthcoming coverage in Viva RVA, RVA Magazine, and right here at Quail Bell Magazine.

Feathery hugs,
Christine Stoddard
Executive Editor

The QB Crew

Christine Stoddard, Founding Editor

Art, media, and language have enchanted Christine Stoddard since the days of her early upbringing in Arlington, VA. While still a mere fairy flutter from D.C., Christine dove into creative activities, hoping that her artistic talents would distract her teachers from learning of her mathematical inability. Luckily, her plan worked. Her non-math skills have been recognized by regional and national organizations. In October 2011, Style Weekly Magazine named her one of the "Top 40 Under 40" in Richmond, VA, while she was still a VCUarts student. Christine currently lives and works in her native Virginia.
