Andrea, at Serrahna's, held another wonderfully colorful fashion event at Khana Peena on College Avenue, in Oakland today. We had a great time. The models were fabulous, all five of them...I lost count. I was completely absorbed with each one of them, applying makeup and styling their hair. The makeup application went a bit easier than last time, even though I was moving from the moment the first model showed, to when I left at about, 2:30 pm. The real proof is what comes through in the photos. What I love about Andrea, is that her heart comes through in her clothing designs, she is able to articulate her passion through fabric, and design. Beautiful! I also love the fact, once again, (I'm sorry if you've already heard it), that she celebrates, and honors every woman who steps into her business. She helps them move in new directions and helps them become more feminine. I love that the models are of all sizes and all ages. How refreshing is that? The fashion world takes notice! You don't have to be 16, have skin and bones, and be flawless(yawn!), to be a woman.
I also loved how the models took on the divine feminine as they transformed before our very eyes. Oohs and ahhs fell out of the mouths of the audience. Queens! It was such an honor to bring out what was already there, waiting to be drawn out. They would walk back into the store, and say, "that was fun/"
Andrea and I walked over when the show was just about over, and with the grace of the Queen, she introduced me to each table of quests. Thank you Andrea.
Upon my return home, my daughter had her own clothing situation to work out. From showing me new shorts purchased with daddy to meltdowns around not having clean laundry to questioning the shoes I suggested for our bicycle ride to the park. I loved every minute of being with her, up to patting her back and saying goodnight. A nice balance to the day. And now, a movie with my loved one.
I'll be sure to post the photos the minute I receive them.
