Fashion Show at the Lotus & Water Lily Cultural Festival 2014

What an amazing weekend I had. Sometimes my dreams and aspirations scare me but the more they scare me, the more I know God is up to something. So an old friend of mine approached me about a month ago to ask me to participate in a fashion show at the Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens in NE D.C. Of course any and every opportunity I can get to showcase my work I welcome. You just never know what opportunity might come knocking. I was a little nervous as I was out of my comfort zone and element. After all, this would only be my second real fashion show but I took it all in stride and grabbed the bull by the horns. Of course not literally but you get the drift.

When my family and I got to the festival, we realized it was a wonderfully diverse crowd with people from all walks of life and there was something for everyone. The place was beaming with culture diversity, from art contests for children, to Lotus tea tasting, to contemporary African music just to name a few. We quickly settled in, prepped for the show and what a success it was. Here are some of the shots from the show. Photo credits goes to mine truly; hubby of life....
