Weeks before the show each of the "models" had to try on clothes for fitting and to decide which outfits we would be willing to model. A run-through was held the week before so we could learn how to walk the run-way, practice our turns, and make last minute accessory changes.
The day of the show we arrived early to prepare and review each other's outfits. The dressing room was well organized. Hair stylists were available and each model had an assistant who would help with wardrobe changes, zipping and buttoning, and accessorizing. Each of us had 6 to 8 wardrobe changes with clothes from the 1940s to 1980s. Julie and Vicki had one "fast" wardrobe change that I was afraid they would fall off their spiked high-high heels running to the back stage!
The Radisson Ball Room was full, the music began and the show was on. This picture is what each of us wore for our first outfit. After 2 hours of modeling, lots of laughs, and comments like "nice outfit" or "OMG" we were done. All of the clothes in the show plus racks and racks of other outfits along with accessories were for sale. The show also had a silent auction and door prizes.We had a lot of fun and are glad we volunteered.
And, just so you know; "Talented and Experienced Models" for hire at Image Studios!

So much fun!!!! We are truly blessed to have Diane Bishop ( head of the Community Clothes Closet) as a leader and head organizer of the CCC. She is the most caring, giving, and compassionate woman I have ever met. Thanks to all who participated... modeling, attending, and shopping! We all had such a great day (and found so many new treasures)!
