I had a fantastic weekend! So much fun, lots of girl time and a moment that my fourteen year-old self went crazy for!
First up, I took my Event Planning students on a field trip to the Detroit Institute of Arts for Samurai: Behind the Armour Fashion Show. This was hosted by the Detroit Garment Group Guild. They tasked 10 local designers to create looks based on the DIA’s current Samurai exhibit and the public voted for their favorites. It was a great example of a fashion show for my students and we were blown away by the awesome looks. My gal pal Andrea tagged along with me and took some amazing photos:
After the fashion show, we headed to the Motor City Comic Con to fulfill my teenage dream of meeting actors from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. I am a HUGE fan and was completely giddy meeting both J. August Richards (Gunn from Angel) and Nicholas Brendon (Xander from Buffy). They could not have been nicer and I got a little starstruck. Thank goodness Andrea was there to capture the moment!

I was on cloud nine for the rest of the day. This was such an AWESOME moment!
To end the weekend, we celebrated my dear friend Tracy’s bridal shower. She will make a beautiful bride and I am so honored to be part of her special day as a bridesmaid. The shower was so cute and wine-themed (who doesn’t like that?):
What did you do last weekend?

Thanks for including my photos on the blog! I had the time of my life with you on Saturday. I was on a cloud the whole day too, it took me forever to even fall asleep that night I was still so hopped up on ‘Oh-my-goodness-I-met-Xander-and-Gunn”-adrenaline. This weekend I’m planting flowers and cleaning the house — super boring compared to the awesomeness of last weekend with you. Congrats to Tracy by the way!
P.S. I really need to start a blog so you can hyperlink to me when we do stuff together!
