She makes any kind of wig, many custom wigs, but when making her own they all tend to be over the top with bright colors...and at times her wigs turn into head pieces that are giant bunny rabbits, birds, octopus... As for her clothing, she adores color and prints. Things tend to look very circus like, maybe because she loves a good circus...or she just wants people to be able to have fun, very unique,one of a kind garments. |

 | Jasmine Rain, co founder of Bridgetown Revue, proprietress of Homage (a sustainable green home goods line) and Cirque (a fancy free for all). A naturally curvy lady never fitting into cookie-cutter store bought attire, she has fashioned and refashioned - crafting costume and couture for her love of dance and life for over a baker's dozen years. The heart of the story is - she really wants to get you into her bloomers.

 | Endi Clark - I don't garden, but after beginning to bellydance I acquired a sincere appreciation for flowers, feathers, glitter, make-up, and all things costuming - It only took a few months of lusting after how amazing my dancer friends looked that I decided to put my nose to the grind-stone and started producing all those fun things I wanted for myself. Little did I know they'd soon become not only an occassional ornament for my costumes, but they'd be a creative outlet, a passion, a continuous work of art to be appreciated by myself, all who wear them, and those lucky enough to see these feather/flower hair and hat accessories in action!
