Good bye for now [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Syrie has exceeded any optimistic wear estimate for her leotard with countless hours of imaginative play.  Her toes finally emerged &#8211; perhaps in an attempt to escape for a much needed rest.  The leotard should be considered &#8220;de rigueur&#8221; for any little girl with even the slightest wisp of imagination. And now ladies and gentlemen, [...]]]></description>
