To Celebrate THE dress and THE model who wore it so well...

A quick shot of the amazing woman who wore this show-stopping dress, which by the way stands up on it's own...  I could leave it out, though I feel remiss leaving out the two designers' names, for which I am currently searching.

Our "Little" Fashion Show

Nothing was small scale at this year's Academy of Art University Fashion Show, and I had the great privilege of a backstage pass for the festivities.  Not only was I deeply impressed by the finished and avant garde works I saw, but I was touched by the positive attitudes of those worker bees making the show such a sweet success.  Everyone's attitude was as lovely as the wearables, and I had a blast taking snap shots of such loveliness without worrying about staging or setting up lights :).  Here are some of the excessive photos I could not help but take...

Two Thumbs

Thinking about these little digits of mine that have so much to say and do so much of the work.  I often find myself donating approval with the words "two thumbs."  They are way up, they are unique and indispensable members however off to the side or underneath the towering heights of other fingers, and they always lead the show.  Evolved dexterity, having a grip, catching a ride...  They are party seeking, war waging (count to four) and holding on to it all.  They guide with the rules of thumb, opposable yet so agreeable (see again, two of them), green and growing, deliver fates.  They are the instrument of my instrument.  I salute you; two thumbs up.
