Fashion a Cure 09!

This was BY FAR the best experience I have ever had showing my colorful little creations in a fashion show to date! It's acutely difficult to pinpoint exactly what made this show a step up from the rest. Could it be:

a. All benefits from Fashion a Cure went straight to the American Cancer Society
b. I actually got the chance to send all the pieces I have been working on for the past 3 years down the runway...(even if 3 years only translated into 3 minutes on the shortie runway)
c. My amazing family and friends came from far and near, as well as the crazy support from folks who couldn't make it
d. Met a whole batch of talented, creative, driven people who inspired me
e. It made the most depressing day of the year quite astounding
f. Finally, finally, finally! A male wore my pigeon dress on the runway and turned his strut into theatrical fabulosity
g. Making me push myself to create new fashion-y goodies in hopes of Fashion a Cure part tres
