Bobbie Nudie, woman who started Nudie's Rodeo Tailors, passed away last week. She and her husband, Nudie Cohn,
designed clothes for celebrities from Elvis
Presley to Arnold Schwarzenegger, including famous outfits like Elvis's gold lame suit, and put hundreds and
thousands of rhinestones on the clothes of country singers everywhere. Their remarkable costumes, which were made to suit their
motto that "it is better to be looked over than overlooked," are highly collectible today and sell for upwards of $1000 when in good
condition.
