“Robin has mastered the art of storytelling through clothing - using garments and accessories as an artist would use paint and canvas.
Through Magnolia Pearl’s designs, she respects the would-be forgotten fragments, giving them new life and meaning.”

- Johnny Depp, Actor and Artist

“I love this sad n’ happy book, and all the glitter that it took. . .Robin is my Vivienne Westwood, my Alexander McQueen.”

“Glitter Saints is a powerful and tear-jerking memoir of perseverance and resilience no matter what obstacles life may throw our way.
Pearls are formed by saltwater or freshwater.”
This book tells the story of how Robin has continuously taken the saltiest and bitter moments of suffering and transformed
them into freshly formed pure gold and pearls of positivity. Facing challenges from birth to the present-day,
it would be one thing for readers to learn how she's created a life of transcendence for herself alone,
but in every chapter of her life, prepare to learn how she uses her bodhisattva energy to
create a world of magic, healing, and wonder for everyone she encounters along the way. ...Read More
