She was a plain, shy little girl who was invisible to all who passed her. However, growing from a child into a teenager, the years transformed her…like the ugly duckling; she was emerging as a swan. Beginning almost imperceptibly, she noticed a glance here, a look there…and they began to increase to a point where she knew she was suddenly visible to the eyes around her. She didn’t understand why she was suddenly in everyone’s eyes – she was unnerved by this at first, but then in extraordinary phases, she came to realize that positive changes were amidst. On her sixteenth birthday, there was no denying it – she was truly and magically beautiful; people were captured by her presence. As if by instinct, she found she could easily transform herself into the very ideal others saw when inspired by her. Some would refer to the effect as a muse… still others would call her by name…Antoinette…a name that was becoming synonymous with art, fashion and creativity.
