SPECIAL NOTE:
In response to many requests, we are extending the Registration time for the Competition. The Awards Celebration will be held in the Fall of 2010. All Friends of Fashion are invited to take part, including Fashion Students, Working Designers and People with Disabilities who know where the problems are.
On February 10, Ruth had a great time visiting with Don Adams on his internet radio show, out of Florida. We chatted about a variety of things including the response (or lack thereof) of the Garment Industry to YOUR needs. Also that disabled athletes from all around the world will soon be travelling to Vancouver, BC, Canada to take part in the Paralympic Games. You can listen to an archived copy of the interview from Don's site, Physical Issues (www.physicalissues.com) Ruth's interview is in section 18 (PIAH_HR2_SEG2) of the Audio Archive from the February 10 program.

After living with MS for 20 years,
Ruthee still looks for new adventures. This past summer, she was thrilled to
have a day with a local group, “They will surf again – Life Rolls On” Here we
see her heading out into the surf and after riding a wave. What are some of
the clothing issues Ruthee would like to see improved upon? Full length
Evening gowns that do not tangle in the wheels of the chair. Along with
Ruthee, all of the women taking part in the Ms Wheelchair America and the
individual State Ms Wheelchair Pageants are looking forward to new Formal wear
from the sewing needles of our competitors. For more information visit Ms
Wheelchair America at www.mswheelchairamerica.org
