More from the fashion show

So one of the biggest rules during the fashion show, sent down from American Girl, was NO photography.  So sad for me.  They did say we could send the girls with their own disposable cameras, so of course we did that, and I coached Sydney on what to get.

Before I get to Sydney's pictures though...I snuck in just one single picture (shhhh!) during the actual show on my cellphone.  Not good quality, but at least we can see my girl on the stage!  She did so good!

Now, for Sydney's pictures.  I told her what I really wanted, was a picture of her in the outfit she wore.  We practiced how to take a picture of herself...and I was SO pleased with how she did!  Is she cute, or what?!

(Side note on the hair...omg, the hair!)  I promise I sent her in perfectly neat, beautiful pigtails.  But, I guess this is what you get from locking a 7 year old up in a roomful of other 7'ish year olds, for close to 5 hours...not nice pigtails!  I think they cleaned her up just a tiny bit for her actual walk on stage.  Dangit, I should've volunteered back stage!

Back to her pictures...some of her other buddies who also had cameras :)

The TV where they watched the actual show, while they were back stage:

And, a cute group shot!  Obviously, Sydney didn't take that one ;).

So, overall it was a great experience for Sydney.  She had a blast, and wants to do it again.  We may have to be sneaky when the event arises next year!
