April 03, 2012 - Relic says: “ Great to see someone has brought this back, I started it in 1970 working with the Woman's YMCA.
It was a great success then, unfortunately the Dealer I worked for died and so did the course.
Back then I called it "Powder Puff" held it one day a week for 10 weeks and had a waiting list, time and fee was donated to YMCA.
Good luck and happy to see it back ”
