Leia Organa, as Prince Xizor's Guest

Alessandra Fernandes (aka Andrômeda Aino) is a talented, bilingual costumer from Brazil. I have had the pleasure of her correspondence since 2003. Imagine my surprise when Alessandra presented me, and on my birthday no less, with images of her portrayal of Leia Organa as seen in the art of Greg and Tim Hildebrant brothers (for the 1996 Topps Shadows of the Empire collectible card series.) This costume represents the fine attire that Prince Xizor gave to Leia, as a precursor to his attempts to win her affections.
