This is mostly just going to be pics. These are the dresses that Kimmera Madison-Fall designed for me to compete in for Miss Ebony International. Diana is on sale as of a few weeks ago so please go snatch it up if you just love it. Thanks again to her and for one of my students for reminding me that I needed to post these lol. Good night all.
Okay so I've been MIA a lot between classes, RL and Miss Ebony International. As of yesterday, two of those things have been taken care of a bit lol and this weekend will see another great crop of graduates leave MIOS before we take a break for a few weeks. Yesterday, the Miss Ebony International finals were held and four hours or so after it all started it was over. Congratulations are due to all the girls because it was a long grueling experience from start to finish in that the challenges were more time intensive than I could have ever thought and waiting patiently through 3 hours of questioning was slightly traumatic. However, I made it all the way through my first contest that was at least partially based on my own skill set and appearance. I mean I did Miss Fashion last year but that was mostly based on the ability of my designer and my styling of those designs. I came in third then, I did not do as well with MEI. Crashing as I'm answering a question probably didn't help and I'm not sure that I totally answered my next question from Frolic Mills but I did make the top ten and was happy and slightly stunned by that. My designer in this contest, the always great Kimmera Madison, was happy with how I presented her work so I can't really ask for more than that. I'll take photos and plaster the blog with them in a few days and then both dresses will be up for sale at her shop. Thanks to all that came to support me yesterday--I seriously appreciate you all waiting it out with me. I get the grind of what a major contest is like now and while I am SOOOO not ready for another right now I might sign up again for one in the future. I'm glad I had this experience and will continue to try to push myself every chance I get but for now, I'm enjoying the nap I have had for the last 24 hours.
