$$MILLION DOLLAR FANCY$$

April 5th 2006
*********************************************************************************
The setup was very different from any show i have been to at Howard University, they were having it on the yard ala Nyc fashion week at bryant park....could they pull it off? ....for the very FIRST time in my life i was going to watch a show that i was involved in.....my whole life as a dancer and now as a designer.. has been spent running around backstage so i woke up Excited as hell knowing i was going to watch the show! i loveeee watching shows.!....on the downside the weather was a tad bit chilly but i figured that the tents were going to be heated....ah ah...do they want us to catch pneumonia?....hiss lol....anywayz we got to school an hr before the show started to make our rounds backstage making sure all the clothes fit properly on the models..and making sure we knew were all the clothes were hung to avoid backstage trauma after the show....after that was done...we took our seats in the reserved area...which i must mention were very great seats as compared to the ASA show which had reserved the front seats usually given to designers as VIP seats for **special guests students* while the long suffering designers were left craning their necks to watch their clothes coming down the runway...hiss...Nigerians and their damn lust for exclusivity...anywayz before i totally digress and lose myself in my topic of disdain these days....the stage was set up very with two pink checkered Barbie boxes which were sooooo cute....the runway was covered with pink & purple glitter....i loved it!....the tent idea was also really cool ...i could feel the students eating it up like candy...everybody was really hype and the models did a great job...i didnt think they would pull it off like that...but they really really did...my friend abby's lil sister was around for the show....and it was actually her first EVER fashion show...and i was just thrilled that she had a greaaaaat time watching it....yay!! go lauren!!!!....there literally was no way for anyone to distinguish what clothes were cranberry so we just screamed Cranberrry!!!!! as loud as we could whenever one of our dresses came out on stage lol....people prolly thot we were pyschopath's lol...but who cares lol....

I do have a vid of the show which i will put out later when i have more time...but for now, enjoy some pixels of the event!
