She was the \u201cit\u201d girl in Seattle in the early 90\u2019s and anyone who knew her and the club scene at the time I doubt would argue with me on that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/g3jsgpeiaah7aa7p1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-590\" title=\"g3jsgpeiaah7aa7p\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/g3jsgpeiaah7aa7p1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/g3jsgpeiaah7aa7p1.jpg 400w, http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/g3jsgpeiaah7aa7p1-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can see an example of the type of stuff she did in these pictures..not her stuff but you\u2019ll get the point I think.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/25007253@N05\/2849598600\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color: #36b1d8;\">Decoupaged Suit Case<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/roseyposeyconfections\/2492340761\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color: #36b1d8;\">Paper project..so Demri<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/Victorian-valentines-cards-two-cherubs-red-hearts.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-583\" title=\"Victorian-valentines-cards-two-cherubs-red-hearts\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/Victorian-valentines-cards-two-cherubs-red-hearts-189x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"189\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/Victorian-valentines-cards-two-cherubs-red-hearts-189x300.jpg 189w, http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/Victorian-valentines-cards-two-cherubs-red-hearts.jpg 485w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/victorian-valentines-cards-two-cherubs-blue-flowers-heart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-584\" title=\"victorian-valentines-cards-two-cherubs-blue-flowers-heart\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/victorian-valentines-cards-two-cherubs-blue-flowers-heart-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/victorian-valentines-cards-two-cherubs-blue-flowers-heart-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/victorian-valentines-cards-two-cherubs-blue-flowers-heart.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/valentine_boy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-585\" title=\"valentine_boy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/valentine_boy-158x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/valentine_boy-158x300.jpg 158w, http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/valentine_boy-540x1024.jpg 540w, http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/valentine_boy.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 158px) 100vw, 158px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>She liked cupids, hearts and anything Victorian for example these <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webweaver.nu\/clipart\/valentines\/vintage-cards.shtml\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color: #36b1d8;\">Victorian clip art<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the early 90\u2019s she dressed in all kinds of crazy yet cute clothes anything retro or vintage.
