Lipstick & Purse-N-Ality:

Before going to the Lipstick & Purse-N-Ality show, April and I went and ate at La Posada. This is one of our favorite places to eat and we hadn't been there in quite some time.


April designed the above cover.

The Rolla Daily News where April works presents a show every few months for vendors to show their new items and a few of the stores have a fashion show. April modeled in the show last Fall but decided not to this time. Her co-worker, Leonie, loves to model and do the fashion show. She seems to be a natural at it.

The short lady in front is my Aunt Geri Williams and her sister Rose in the turquoise shirt.
My Aunt Geri always attends the shows and as you can see from the picture above, she was one of the first to wait in line. She was disappointed April didn't model this time but she still enjoys all of the activities.
I especially enjoyed Chic Chick's show, their models were typical of the professional fashion shows, exotic makeup, jewels on their face, some even had feathers above their eyebrows. Their MC did a fantastic job, even singing in between settings.

If you look close at the lower left hand corner, you can see April standing there.

My cousin Martha's, daughter, Brooke was involved with the Rolla Chamber of Commerce booth. Hard to believe little Brooke, who Dwayne taught to walk, is now such a grown up and a beautiful person, inside and out.

We had a great time, but I was so tired we didn't stay long.
