Hi Linda-
It's Sharon Weinman. It was nice seeing you and part of the show the other day. I purchased 2 tickets for Marlene and me for the Sunday July 20th show at 2pm. Hope to see you there and looking forward to the show. I love the blog. It is a wealth of fascinating information and will read it further when I have a bit more time.Would love to design a tour that includes Mae West haunts, stories and anicdotes. I should be able to attend the Mae West birthday celebration.
Great work
--Sharon
