I was so happy to be able to share in your experience, channeling my mom & godfather, feels like home. ank you for @wendyw for embracing me and bringing me back; I feel like I'm part of the legacy again! Although I became a jewelry designer, I was raised by a prima ballerina at the NYC Ballet, running around backstage looking for fun or a good convo! Divinely inspired by the costumes, jewels, sets, make-up, even props! Legendary dancers warming up in the wings, half costumed and full make-up, telling jokes & occasionally tossing me upside down! At one point, I had taken pictures & wanted to publish a book of BTS probably still somewhere in the archives. Instead, it became part of my soul that lives within me and comes through in my designs. Love you, guys." Congratulations to Amar on his wonderful career, and someday we hope to see that backstage tribute from you, Margo.
