G'Day Cathie,

And hello from the tightlacing fan in Vermont. This past weekend I went to a party at a friends house in Norwich, and the next day several of us went to Mystic Seaport. (I'd not been in about 10 years or so, and we all had a delightful time in perfect weather.) Thought about you and Bob, and then remembered you'd moved to NC. (Do you still have a place in CT or are you permanent residents of NC now?) My compliments on your always interesting site. I miss the old days of Constance's fancy "Dressing For Pleasure" events, and now I suspect I'll not likely see you at any of the Boston Fetish Fleas either. (Made the one last winter but missed the sumemr one- I was "heli-hiking" in BC). As I recall you have a daughter in the Boston area but she wasn't all that taken with your tightlacing regimen. Thanks again for the nice site, and do give my best to Bob.

Thanks for your note. We have sold our house in Old Mystic and are permanently in NC. We've been doing lots of filming, etc for Tv. RTL German TV was here earlier this week; we are scheduled to go to Korea next week and London the week after. We are reasonably settled down here and enjoying the nicer weather.

Dear Cathie,

I came from locking your sequence in the german TV RTL this midday. I think you know it as well. It was correct with the measure 14" = 38 cm for the waist. And they give your age. I bekame also 70 next march. You have a wery bautiful braun skin (like me) and you are looking marvelous in the red dress. Are you actualy in EUROPE ? If yes, I would try to meet you. I am since 60 years a great fan of waspwaist womans and I know personaly the favorites here like LADY JANE and LACIE. And I see you from time to time in the Long Island Staylace Ass.. How is your health, because Lady Jane (Britta) say to me, that you had problems. I hope it is better now. Al the best.

Thanks for your note. We enjoyed the filming for RTL. I do not know why Britta should say I have had any health issues. I have not seen her for nearly ten years!! I am very healthy and have not had any medical problems and certainly none related to wearing a corset. If you communicate with her I would like to know where she got her information.

Dear Robert or Cathie or-whoever gets this. a friend told me that Cathie was on British TV-this morning, on the British "Channel Three" TV at 11am [?] i was also told that Cathie was in-London at that tme. if anyone could tell me-where Cathie is to appear while she is in Britain then i would be most grateful as i would very much like to go to one of the Venues where she will appear, or possibly meet her etc. i have followed the remarkable "Hourglass" Ladies Fashion, since i was 13 [1956] and consequently-much regret the demise of the Victorian Era for-this reason, at leaast! hoping that i may receive a reply in time!-regards.

Sorry to tell you that we are now back in the States. We were in London for the launch of the 2008 Guinness Book. It was a very busy time and though we were on location and filmed on GMTV and Channel 4 noontime news on Friday we didn't have a second free and didn't know where the filming was to take place on Wed and Thurs.

Cathy, I was facinated with your record. I was banded ... to get a weight reduction. MMM.. this may have done the same thing. Anyway, Your corsets should be preserved in a quilt.

Thanks for your note. I'm not ready to cut them up for a quilt at this point but it is certainly an interesting thought.

Cathie
