Each of the 12 "looks" that were created represent our version of a fairytale.
I also wanted to show some candid photos from those 2 days in May 2009 at the Varsity Theater and Loring Pasta Bar. I have to admit, with all of the beautiful clothes and jewelry laying around that day, I couldn't resist having a little fun dressing myself up.

Flowers ready and waiting for their close ups along with Snow White's apple and mirror.
One of the many hats I could not resist trying on that day. Unfortunately, it is not Cognac in the glass, it is diet coke. I really wanted it to look like a proper drink in the glass and Sprite didn't cut it.The photos below show my inner desire to be a dancer, in this instance, a ballerina. I couldn't resist this tutu, tiara and lots of sparkly jewelry. My friend, Carrie, says I look like a Degas painting here. I really want to wear a tutu everyday. I am not joking.
