And I even find the &quot;right&quot; Dritz pliers to be counter-intuitive!<br /><br />@Gail - Thank you -- that really means a lot to me!<br /><br />@NGLaLaLa - Thanks, and I&#39;m glad, too! I did have to evacuate once from the 26th floor of a Canadian hotel at 5:30 a.m. So grateful this one didn&#39;t turn out the same.Antoinettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09398754886656482414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986773153401859625.post-75242200020333177562009-11-01T21:54:45.016-06:002009-11-01T21:54:45.016-06:00Love the capelet!

Like a bad snap omen or something. I&#39;m always glad to hear what people can&#39;t do. And yes, I also think the capelet is really nifty. Makes me want to make one out of vintage polyester.--ginger.http://wienerdogtricks.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986773153401859625.post-62105197175670940382009-10-31T20:34:03.788-05:002009-10-31T20:34:03.788-05:00@Karin - Unlike previous near-catastrophes, this time I did appreciate the situation for its humorous appeal WHILE it was happening. ;)<br /><br />@mjb - I took photos of the capelet over a strapless black dress, but the lighting that day was pretty bad. Thanks for mentioning -- I will try again and see if I can post more pics.<br /><br />@Becky - Thanks! The studs are literally &quot;English 77&quot; studs, which I guess are the exact style from the late 70&#39;s punk movement. &#39;Cause there are about a zillion styles of studs!<br /><br />@angelapea - My husband made the same comment about no one coming to check on me! The next morning, I told the front desk guy about the incident, and he sort of laughed sheepishly and said, &quot;Yeah, that happens sometimes. The heaters don&#39;t get used much and the dust burns off them the first time you use it in the winter.&quot; Maybe they could clean out the dust in late summer next year. Just sayin&#39;....<br /><br />@Cindy - I did sleep, for only 6 hours. I was ready to pass out by 6 the next evening. :) Thanks.<br /><br />@Faye - Thank you!<br /><br />@Mary Nanna - I&#39;ve seen the first 2 or 3 cycles of ANTM and remember Tyra making that critique. I think much of it has to do with wearing heels, in her estimation. That is something to think about...<br /><br />@Violet - LOL No, I avoided the sidewalk scene entirely, thank goodness!<br /><br />@JoanneM - Thanks!<br /><br />@Christy - See? You knew right off what that smell was. I thought it must be burning wire. Silly me.<br /><br />@glam.spoon - Snaps rule if you can get them installed right!<br /><br />@Kyle - I don&#39;t think there was any visible smoke, so I suspect you&#39;re right that it was very sensitive. Then part of me wonders if the alarm has limited use if no one else responds but the person in the room...?Antoinettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09398754886656482414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986773153401859625.post-87513174891982633712009-10-31T14:58:41.962-05:002009-10-31T14:58:41.962-05:00Thanks for the laugh!

So perfectly you.<br /><br />Whoa. That&#39;s a bit of a freak-out to almost set the hotel room on fire! Hmmm...makes you wonder about the alarm system if nobody showed up to see what was going on!
