My very first fashion show.

What an experience. It was amazing, and pulled together in a week! AH! I couldn't have done it without the help of my friends (aka models)... and MARC! Here's your shout out - thank you for sitting with me for hours while I hand-sewed feathers and put the finishing touches on my pieces. And Dan, too! Thanks for introducing me to 5 Hour Energy Drinks and hanging out while I sewed. There is honestly no way I can express my gratitude for all the support and help I've received, so thank you, thank you, thank you a million times! You all had my back and I've got yours :)

The venue was Horizon Lounge on Broadway in San Francisco, the promoters Mark & Annette were awesome with pulling everything together! Thank you to everyone at Horizon for hosting the show.

All the girls had their hair& makeup done by Katrina Hafalia, of Trinaka Artisions. THANK YOU GIRL!

Additional hair and makeup done by Samantha Guy, Elyse Diaz, and Jasmine Hanson. Beautiful job ladies!

Here are some of Daniel Porter's photos, and following the professional photos are the party pictures. What an awesome night. I'm still waiting on some of the pictures from Nolan's photographers, and the pictures from the runway. In the meantime, enjoy :)

ps. all the hairpieces are by Stephanie Rodriguez!
