I will be helping to run ‘Project Prom Dress‘ at the Milpitas Library in Milpitas, CA (South Bay Area) this coming Saturday, March 29, 2014 at 1pm.

This program, which is for teens and pre-teens, is a take on the Project Runway television show. The participants will be finding inspiration, picking out fabrics, and sketching their prom dress designs. At the end of the event, judges will vote on the best designs. The winners will receive a fashion design oriented prize. (Fabric swatches, inspiration pictures, and art supplies will be provided).

If you are a teen/pre-teen or know one that would be interested in the program (plus are located in the SF Bay Area), than you should stop on by!

March 23, 2014

Yesterday I spent the day reliving childhood memories of the past by visiting Marine World (it’s actually now called “Six Flags Discovery Kingdom,” but it will forever be “Marine World” to me because that’s what it was called when I was a kid). Marine World used to be purely a kind of zoo. They had mainly marine animals and shows featuring whales, dolphins, etc. Now, they still have some of the animals, but in addition, have a bunch of amusement park rides. To put it mildly, the long drive to the park, sun, line waiting, and the rides wore me out (I had a lot of fun though)! I’m such an old lady now!

Hope all you have had a wonderful weekend! Enjoy this week’s newest additions to The Curvy Elle Shop!
