My First Love...

In 2000, we took our relationship to another level when we crossed the pond. While eating a snack at Harrods, I knew we would be together forever that nothing and no one would be able to come between us.

From my earliest memories, I recall having an affinity for clothes putting together an outfit telling my story, the story of Deanna. Watching me closely my choice of attire for the day told my mood:      colorful = happy, expensive = fierce, leggings with a chunky cable knit sweater = cranky/bloated.
