  1. I’m writing a paper concerning women’s clothing in the late colonial/early US periods. I would like to get the perspectives of those who have recreated and worn these types of clothes. Would it be possible for you to answer some of my questions?

    Thank you for your time,

  2. Dear Kendra,

    I love your site! I was a fallera in 1980; I’m an American but was there studying, sang in the choir (Valencia) and often go back. I have been to many stores where they sell fabric, jewerly, shoes, etc. all to make the “traje valenciano” . My friend is a re-enactor (Saintonge) in the Boston area and he’s going to make me a dress of fabric I brought back. I share your love for the Spanish clothing. See the movie “Mad Love” about Juana La Loca — daughter of Ferdinand and mother of the Holy Roman Emperor Carlos I. The costumes are to die for!

    I have pictures of one of the fabric stores in Valencia and would somehow bring back something for you if you like. I plan to go again probably in April of next year or so.

    Sincerely, Sherry Madden

  3. Hi Kendra

    The Blumenfeld Family

    Couldn’t seem to get in touch any other way. Hope you don’t mind. I’ve been researching my husband’s family tree. His mother used to tell us that her mother’s family were in a circus – which caused us great amusement at the time. However, having looked into it, I’ve found out quite a bit about the Daniels side of the relationship and since finding your website on Circus history – a whole lot more. Apparently the English side of the family lost touch with the American side some years ago. Please do get in touch. Personally, I’d love to know more about what happened to the girls in America.

    Thank you
    Linda
