Frightened Fashionista

Somehow I got convinced to be a model in the March meeting of the Women's Club of Savanna Club, which was a fashion show of clothes bought at Kohl's.   I happened to be in Kohl's in Ft. Lauderdale with Ed's sister, Lorraine Barkett.  She really got into it and found a shell, an over-jacket, necklace and earrings.  I found the rest of the pieces later.

I invited my sister-in-law, Mary Kay Angelil, to come.

The tables were beautifully decorated by Jane Roy and her team.  Notice the little shoe and purse in the middle.

 Behind me are my friends, Linda Ricioppo and Bonnie McDonnell. 

There were 19 models in the show.  Diane Novelli, the organizer, cleverly divided the "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" program.  She had 3 groups of models with games in between.

Above is group 1 and below is group 2.

I didn't think that much about modeling until I went to rehearsal the day before.  That's when I realized how HUGE that theater is and how far we had to walk.  The spotlight was also intimating!  Boy, was I ever NERVOUS!!! 

I guess I've never done anything where people were just staring at me.  I just went on automatic pilot and somehow managed not to fall down!

Below is group 3.  (There was another gal with her little granddaughter in our group but I didn't get their photo.)

   New experiences are good for us and being a "fashionist fashion model" turned out to be a personal victory and 

a fun day for MaryMay.
