of your dreams where you will be met with unexpected, magical gifts, laced with romance;”

The catwalk! This was by far the most exhilarating part of the evening. My second outfit and leather mask was just mind blowing to wear. I felt like the ringleader in a dark circus of nightmares. So, just up my alley!

Here are some awesome backstage shots before the actual show last Friday. It was a blistering 25 degrees, and we were in a room without heat! I could not believe the strong wills and hard work that the team from Avant Salon showed. At different points I had two lovely women curling my hair from either side, a makeup artist applying fake lashes, and two slices of pizza, one in each hand. It was such a great environment, I could literally feel the creativity from the artists around me. We began around 4:00, and didn't walk until 9:35. The span of time was spent with ladies, drinks, 20th century dresses, and more jewelry than I could handle. I had such an amazing evening, and met the best fellow fashion forward friends a girl could ask for.  Catwalk pictures soon!

(Also, I'm so excited with classes and my projects lately! I have already performed two short scenes, am set to produce and work on a singular monologue for myself, and a Tennessee Williams short poem in my voice class. Things are moving along, and I'm counting my days until the weather begins to warm. This freezing Texas air is so hindering when you are scaling the campus five days a week!)

Here is a nice overview of the show! I have so many pictures, I'm just waiting for my stamina to return so I feel up posting them. Laced rocked it, and I am so honored to have been a part;


The looks presented by the store are all textures and themes I have in my own closet. Dark and underlying jewel tones, lace, burnout-velvet, feathers, bones, and chains. You cannot go wrong no matter the season! I really felt like someone who transgressed time, through battles and hardship, with valor and poise. The two dresses I wore were from the early 1900s, each with such delicate character. Our hats were either the glorious work of Rima Hyena or Texas Hatters. The accessories and weapons were a mixture of the team's overall collection. I'm still so incredibly amazed by the congruity of the outfits, and the editorial aspect of the store's presentation. These minds that I am allowed to look into are so incredibly genius!
