A evening stroll with the Orlando Bloom is most definitely a wonderful fantasy of the KateriBella's. And the cape is truly beautiful...only in purple, the KateriBella looks like a grape with legs...sigh. Mmmmmmmmmm…..romance not necessary.

They took forever to ship my order, and the two items I did buy were rolled up and put into a FedEx envelope, not even a box. To top things off, one of the straps on the top that I bought was broken even before I got it -- looked like it was an error in manufacturing, yet they sent it to me anyway. Since I got it on sale it's not worth sending back as I would be out money after shipping. Never again. Ottermatic, I just clicked on this page to post my poor opinion of Size Appeal!

I don't have any personal experience with Size Appeal, but it's definitely gotten some bad reviews over there - just a heads up!

Purple is my power color. The one downside to this cape over the elfin ones is that this one won't work as handy camouflage on a rocky mountainside when the dark forces get a clue as to your presence. On the other hand, one might manage to blind the Eye of Sauron with such a magnificent cape. How nice to know that the Francesca is also a superfantastic geek! Clearly we must get together some time for a Lord of the Rings marathon. And what are your feelings on Star Trek? I saw that cape, too, and covet it. Purple is my power color.
