A Stroll Thru History ...

The things I get myself into ...

To help out our local museum,

Mackenzie & I agreed to model

in a Vintage Fashion Show fundraiser, this past weekend.

Over 100 different outfits from 1870-1950 were modeled --
ALL belonging to one amazing lady who
choreographed the entire 3 hour show of models & singers.

Back in March, we had to go to Marion's home to try on outfits, complete with

appropriate shoes, hats, gloves, purses & jewellery.

... waiting for the next outfit, photo, whatever ...
