The first time I went to the Tallac Historic Site was to model in a fashion show in 2019. Not for the Gatsby Tea fashion show; this one was an informative comparison of how fashion changed from the 1890’s to the 1920’s.

It was fun and so cool to see the parts of the Pope House the public doesn't normally get to see. We were invited back the next year and my sister and I were “floozies” and wore glitzy flapper [...]
