Dear Bella and Irby,
Last night was amazing and that was in large, thanks to you and all the talent you provided us with.

It was the best party we've ever had and in fact, my boss who originally asked me to have the band stop at 10:15

ended up wishing that they could’ve played all night. You guys are really amazing and I hope we will work together again someday. 

Thank you so much for all of the amazing talent you provided last night!!

Everyone said it was the best party our company has ever had and so much of that is thanks to you.

Have a great holiday season and I sincerely hope we will work together again someday!

Kindest Regards,

Bella,

I just wanted to chime in to let you know that I also thought Irbe and the girls did an awesome job!  

They fit perfectly with the style of Cicada and were so flexible and accommodating to the client’s needs. 

Flexibility is one of the most important things that we need from out entertainment while working these corporate events. 

You just never know what will changes or issues will pop up at the last minute.   Btw – I LOVED the costumes!  

I was told that you designed them. . they were so adorable.  The best part was that they were

“flapper” but they were an upscaled and exciting version of the 1920’s style.   Perfect!  

J Hope to work with all of you again soon.  It would be great fun to hear Irby (his voice is incredible) do Elvis!

Bella,

​The Can-Can Show was perfect. Everything was great! The dancers were amazing as well as the music played while they changed.

Various students went up afterwards to take pictures with them to include myself and some of the staffers/workers.

They definitely brought the whole theme of the event together and the students were really enjoying it. :)



Irby,
Thank you so much for your performance on Saturday.
We had so many compliments on your singing, you added a nice touch to Ralph's

​Hi, thank you for following up; just another example of the true professionalism of you and your company.

Irby and the Paparazzi were a great addition but I am sorry to say that Marilyn really stole the show with a close finish by W.C.

Dear Bella,

our Event  was a HUGH hit! Jen was great and the costume was perfect.

She was able to get more people talking about our film than I ever would have been able to do myself.

Thank you so much. We took a lot of pictures and I think we might get some good press out of the event.

I'll get you some copies later tonight or tomorrow.

​Thanks again and when we have more screenings in the LA area, we'd love to do it again.



Mike /Newport Beach Film Festival​​

Bella, your dancers were AMAZING! Everyone at the event was asking for your info.

Your girls looked professional and beautiful. The feedback from all the parents was fantastic!

Everyone at the party was super SUPER happy thanks to you! As always Tribute had the best in quality,

the dancers you provided were a perfect balance to the event, great to work with and very talented.

We love working with you and look forward to working with you again soon.

~"Anything else is just a cheap copycat without the true authenticity of a real

Classic Cigarette Girl like Mrs. Bella has always provided for our company.

Mrs. Bella's Dolls are the best cigarette girl company we have found (and we have searched the net).

Her costumes, looks, girls and customer service far exceeds her competition and she is a real pleasure to work with.

Thanks, Joe Dimmick, Agent of Dimmicks Doubles



I ran into your cigarette girl Jennifer the other day.  She did such a wonderful job at my husband’s birthday party

back in August that I had to stop her and say hello.  Literally the same week one of our guests had been raving

about her being the best part of the party.  Thank you again for being such a big part of making my husband’s 40th birthday party

“the best party ever”—a direct quote from another guest.  Thanks to you we had a blast, and the photos to prove it!
