Not only is Ms. Strumme a former assistant to famed costume designers Helen Rose and Nolan Miller, she has "lived" among and sometimes with some of Hollywood's most glamorous stars.

I found her interview about Helen Rose with Emmy Award winning screenwriter and author Robert J. Avrech very interesting. You can read it HERE

While working as assistant and in-house model for Emmy Award winning designer Nolan Miller, Ms. Strumme was honored to meet and work with some of  Hollywood's finest actresses. Most notably of which were Barbara Stanwyck, Bette Davis, Lana Turner, and Ginger Rogers.

Perhaps her favorite assignment though was as the personal assistant and stylist for the lovely Elizabeth Taylor. She became good friends with Ms. Taylor in the ten years she was privileged to accompany her around the world.

Today her pursuits include designing exquisite tiaras, bridal headpieces, and masks for photographers and fashion shows.

Doesn't this headpiece just scream fifties' wedding?
