Realities Ride Fashion Show 2014
For the past four years, I have been apart of a fun and exciting event raising money for abused, neglected, and at-risk kids. REALITIES RIDE. For the past four years, Marketing & Events Director of Realities For Children, Jennifer, contacts me with some brilliant idea for an entertainment piece. We've had Pin-Up Girls in 2011, Steampunk Girls & Performing Emcees in 2012, Circus Freaks in 2013, and now the Bikerette Fashion Show in 2014.
When I dive into something, I do it full force...even if I say I will just take a small part in it. Yeah right! I just can't help it! While Realities For Children took on the planning and marketing of the show, I jumped in with both feet as director, hair, makeup, and fashion stylist.
I ran with the idea of Biker inspired clothing. From Street Wear, Chic, Bike Wear, and Edgy. For those who ride and those who do not dream of riding... I think there's a little biker in all of us ;-)
