I&#8217;m also impressed that she incorporates furniture, makeup and skin care, rather than limiting herself to clothing and accessories. That&#8217;s important because if you were styling a photo shoot with a model, you would indeed have to have other elements in the image. DIDESI gets bonus points from me for finding a jewelry piece by another designer that is pink AND Egypt-themed AND complementary rather than competitive with my own designs. The Sass &amp; Bide leggings on the right are ultra-modern but blend into the set so well that I&#8217;m sure any Pharoah would be pleased to wear them. The Cleopatra quote is the cherry on this Polyvore sundae: it evokes Samantha&#8217;s toughness and pays tribute to my many poison ring designs.<\/p>\n<p>As the lottery commercials say, &#8220;You have to be in it to win it,&#8221; so enter my contest <a href=\"http:\/\/www.polyvore.com\/cgi\/contest.show?id=173690\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.
