wow, so much to say here! the “always pan” was such a find!! I love that you went for it with the champagne batwing dress. it definitely does have ‘20s flapper butterfly Halloween costume vibe; honestly such a look. also, I love your commitment to snacks. finally, my one resolution for the new year has been incorporating more dopamine-dressing-style color into my life. so far, finding your channel has been great for inspo!! hope your ‘23 is going well, Kathleen!

That dress is SO Auntie Mame. In my book, that’s high praise. Just in case you wondered. Highest fabulosity rating.

The way I *gasped* when you first revealed the dress in the fitting room. So glad you bought it! Happy New Year :)

Sooo...I've decided to start from your oldest videos, because ma'am, you are my jam; and lo, and behold there you are with the exact sake cups we had in the 90s up here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada :P we ended up either donating them or selling them at one of our yardsales before we had to move. Wouldn't it be amazing if it was those same ones that some how made their way down to you in Ohio 20ish years later??? Anyway, between the way I gasped when I saw them and your general fun vibe I thought maybe you'd get a lil kick out of my storyyy :B

Happy New Year! My main goal for 2023 is to keep sewing sewing sewing. By the end of the year I'd love to have a whole me made wardrobe. I'm so excited to see what you have in store for your channel too! Thank you for sharing your life with us ❤️

But also no pressure since I can imagine having to run another thing outside of KZread could be time consuming.
