Come See Me This Friday In Artomatic's 'Art In Fashion' Runway Show!!!

Me wearing a sneak peak of what might be in the show, with the designer Ginger
Runner up best local designer, Ginger, with Booshie Design got asked to be in Art In Fashion this Friday (you can click on the above flier to see details). It's the big bang ending for Artomatic (DC's biggest art show) which has been open since the end of May, and closes on July 5th. Ginger was kind enough to ask me to walk in her pass, and I am honored to do so! Today we had a fitting (see above pic), and wait until you see the blue ball gown she has made for the final pass- epic!! She has put a lot of work into this show, and the event sounds like it's going to be a good time. A little exerp from the site about the fashion show:

"Art in Fashion is a non-mainstream, carnival-like event that combines the creative efforts of artists and fashion designers in a unique show, envisioned not as a typical fashion show in the commercial sense, but as an artistic extravaganza, featuring multiple forms of art including costume and fashion design, drag, choreography/dance, performance art, mime, hair design, body paint, tattoo art, and other disciplines. The runway is four feet wide by 40 feet long and the event is expected to attract 1000-1500 visitors between the start and the end."

Sounds like a party to me! The event starts at 6pm, the runway show will be at 8pm, and the all important after party is from 11pm- 2am, the event is free so no excuse not to come! :)
