Last day ๐Ÿ™ sadness. Very wonderful month indeed. Enjoyed all the fun links to videos and whatnot. I don’t know if we ever got to hear about the origin of “wasabipear”? (or maybe I missed it somehow!) Anyway, all the best!

How did you arrange matching? Well, no need to tell the hoi polloi I guess. But I hope you’ll share your secret with the next pilot. It was such a wonderful idea.

So sad to see the end of this marvelous month in the UP. You are absolutely fabulously Gorgeous, and Stylish, and then a little Mischievous and Whimsical. Best of luck to you in all you do. And may the children of Ethiopia be blessed by your beautiful work.

You put on a good month of gittups, and raised a lot of funds! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you can make it to the 10K goal:)

Amazing blouse – reminds me of a spoof horror film starring Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson, can’t remember the title though. The donate button isn’t working for me, anyone else having problems? I’ll try again tomorrow.

thanks for the thanks! i hope you make it to your 10K target. i think being a pilot for only one month requires a lot of work; the momentum, publicity and good will sheena was able to build up over twelve is nigh on impossible in this shorter time frame. neverthe less, i trust you feel proud of your efforts; thanks for inspiring us

We’ve seen some amazing pilots here on UP, but you’ve been one helluva fire cracker! Hope you touch 10k for your beautiful cause. And yayy…I got a shout ๐Ÿ™‚ Rock on!
P.S: Hot for the scissor top. Drool!

Save the best for last! Another stunning outfit. You realy must be the It Girl in your office such style and class, I’m sorry to see you go. From start to finish your Pilot consistantly simplistic.
So glad to see that you made your goal. If they give an Award for the best Pilot, I belive you have it won hands down. Hopefully you have inspired many working gals to give the U.P. LBD a try as an addition to their colections.

CONGRATS!! on reaching $10K+!!! You have such class & chose a dress I could actually wear to work. Thank you for taking on the challenge. I’m still not clear on the “wasabipear” origin, but then again, I am blonde & most things go over my head ๐Ÿ™‚
