(Pics of most of the models. A few could not make it to the meeting, so I have yet to meet a couple of my girls.)

The meeting went well, though the location was changed at the last minute to the Wingate Hotel in Destin, FL. We are very grateful to them and my friend Karen, one of the hotel managers, for letting us have the room on such short notice and at such a discounted rate. Thanks so much Wingate!

Tickets were given out at the meeting to us designers. Sooo....
TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW!!!! Thursday before my meeting with hair & make up at Avant Garde Salon in Destin, we will be going by Artesano, the store that sells some of my art and accessories, and asking if they will sell tickets there. Tickets are also going to go on sale at a few other places, I will announce where asap.

Notes: Was informed at the meeting that my collection will be the finale! Yay!! I am happy, but also a little more nervous now because it adds a bit more pressure. But still very pleased with it! When Okeye is talking to people about me, it's so funny. I'm listening to him and laughing to myself because I sound very impressive. HaHaHaaa Thanks for the props Okeye!

Also need to add one last thank you... Thanks so much to Brian for working as my assistant for the day! lol

Daily Concern: After meeting with my models, I want to change around some of my outfits. Do I have time to do this?
Also stopped by Jo-Ann Fabric Store today; the store did not have the knit fabric I wanted in the right color. Finding the fabric I want is always a problem in this area because there are not many fabric stores here.

Meeting & Practices with Models

Sunday, the designers and the producers of the fashion show will meet with all the models at once for the first time. We will be dividing up models amongst us. So I finally I will get to pick the rest of my girls. Yay!

I have emailed and posted to my FaceBook page some modeling tip videos I found on YouTube for my models to watch, practice, and learn from. Several of the girls are inexperienced so these videos should greatly help them.

Model fittings will commence next week, and the following Sunday I plan to be doing the photo shoot for my collection's lookbook. I have not yet decided on each of the models I will use for this. One is decided and another girl I would really like to use lives to far away :-) to do the shoot, however, she will be modeling in the show. So far, I have decided that I will only use two or three girls, and I have also decided on the theme and style for the book. Now in the next few days I need to speak with the photographer about what I am thinking of doing. I also need to contact hair and makeup.

Other news, still working to finish up my garments for the fashion show. Absolutely can not wait until I am through with them and I can move on to accessories!

Here are links to the videos I found on YouTube that I would like my models to practice...
