Modified Style

Andrea, her boyfriend Ryan, and I all made the quick drive up to Seattle yesterday. We saw a cute dog on the way:

This Seattle trip was for a fashion show called Modified Style. Each designer paid ten dollars and received a bag of scrap material. After choosing a model, the designer has to make an original dress. Andrea, who had never sewn before, decided to jump in and do it, and she picked me to be her model. She's been working on it for a few months, in addition to a full-time job and finishing her MBA. Busy girl!

The dresses are sold in a silent auction, with the proceeds going to charity. There were 9 of us models total, 2 of us being under the age of 10. :) We all had a blast.

I don't have any pictures of my dress yet, but I'll post them when I do. Here are some pictures of the night:

The girl on the left won. They're both really sweet girls, and they both designed their own dresses.

She looks like Mira Sorvino to me.

Alice, on the left, co-produced this fashion show and made a dress. Rose, to her right, was her model.

Me and Erin Wong, who lives in Seattle now.


Here's Andrea and Ryan:

I drank *way* too much wine and sangria, ate *way* too many nachos after it was over, and the 3 of us passed out by 9:30 pm. Yikes! I woke up really early though and went for a walk along Green Lake.

This was a blast and Andrea and I are already in the planning stages for a Modified Style: Portland.
If anyone is interested in designing or modeling, let me know!
