Tomi was a special lady. Favorite memories with her... Archived Message
Posted by Vicki in IL on December 11, 2018, 3:32 pm, in reply to "With much sadness, I need to let everyone know that Tomi from NYC has passed away yesterday >>"
convincing her she could easily pull off a sequin baseball cap in New Orleans (Modern Doll Convention), finally being part of her table at the Gene Convention in Hollywood, and sharing the runway with her and Cindy Lorimar at the Derby Dreams hat contest in Louisville. She loved her dogs so much and was always fun to be around. Her skills as a seamstress were so evident when she entered her creations in the contests at convention, not to mention her ability to recreate Gene's fashions for herself. She will be missed. RIP my friend.
