We have a location!!

Originally we were going to have the show in the parish hall, but from what I’ve heard it’s hideous, so one of the youth ministers that has become a bit of a mentor to the core team tried to get us another location…and she did!

The show will still be on July 11th at 6pm at the Girkis Residence in Orange, CA.  Jessica and I went and visited yesterday and are so very happy that the owners are going to let us use their backyard for the show. I know what that sounds like, but trust me, it’s huge and GORGEOUS. The home has been the site of a number of formal events.   

The runway is going to be very long, giving each girl about 1-2 minutes per appearance and will circle around a pool and two ponds. (Yes, the yard is big enough for hundreds of people, the band, a large pool, and two ponds. LOL.)

Also, I’ve got a partial list of brands for the show:

- Anthropologie
- The Soon Collection
- Shappy Apple
- Shade Clothing
- Layers Clothing
- Stop Staring Clothing

The staff at each of these brands have been more than gracious in donating clothes to the girls.  (Thank you! Thank You! Thank You!) Tomorrow, I will be going shopping with Jessica and Katelyn to pick up more outfits for the show.  After that, we will be doing a small photoshoot with Katelyn and some of the girls. It should be fun!

In other news, Alonso Gonzales Zambrano has been confirmed to provide the entertainment.  We’re still working on the keynote speaker.

Will blog about last night’s session and put some video clips up on Monday. If you are interested in coming or volunteering at the fashion show, just let me know and I’ll ship out an invitation to you and/or put you on the list.
