Work it girl…

On Monday morning we headed to Niterói for the girls to make their runway debut. We had lunch at B’s Mom’s (Cristina’s) house and then they headed out to get their hair done at around 14:00. At 17:00, Cristina and I went to the Casa Design just down the street from Cristina’s. Casa Design is a big house that’s been turned into a showcase for interior designers and is also used for events like the  fashion show we attended. We were later met by several folks from B’s family as well as a big contingent from her best friend Iza’s clan. It was Iza’s aunt, designer extraordinaire Matilde Kraichete, who designed the wedding attire the girls were modeling and made their dream come true. Our entire family’s heartfelt thanks go out to her. IMG_9958 2There were 7 or so different designers represented. There were professional models, loud music and Champaign – pretty much the works. The girls modeled for the last designer and stole the show. As you can see below, waiting for them to go on was tedious, but the kind of sacrifice any father would make for his daughters (I’m pretty sure I had the best seat in the house). Notice the special care I took to even film their shoes.

Here is our darling Sophia. At 5, she showed major chutzpah, hitting her mark and working it like a pro.
Emily seemed like she was born to do this.
More pictures and videos coming soon…
