Our Chinese Fashion Show

So all of you who were not already aware, Keegan, Raychel, and I were in an Asian Fashion show tonight. Every year all the schools from the Xiaolan area get together and have a Fashion Show that everyone comes to see. Random I know. This year our school asked the three of us to be in it with them. They took us to go find Chinese dresses and then we've had practices on how to walk/dance all week. The Chinese put us to shame on the runway. They are just naturally beautiful and graceful, they hardly even needed practice. All of the school had to perform numbers that had the same three themes: Work, play, and elegance. We got to be in the elegance part of it which was so fun. So this evening we did our makeup then some Chinese lady did my hair. The greatest part about it was the chopsticks holding the bun up :) We were one of the first schools to perform which was good because the show ended up being hours long. The three of us were soooo nervous before we got on stage but right when we walked on everyone went nuts!! There was tons of whistling and cheering (probably from our other four girls in the audience but we like to pretend it was everyone). It was hard not to laugh on stage at the craziness of me modeling a dress in China. What are the odds...It was a great night. It was such a neat experience that I am so glad I got to have.

  3. I think you look beautiful! I am glad you didn't trip when you went out on the runway, you would have given American's a bad rap.
