I grew up in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s so it’s kinda weird to call my era RETRO! But oh dang how awesome it was to have been part of these  three decades!!

What a totally giddy moment to be invited back to create the official Retro Con fashion show! We are bringing in the crew to help us make this happen and we couldn’t be more excited to work with these 3 South Broadway companies that bring so much style and fun to Denver! Regal Vintage, Igor’s T-Shirts  and 5280’s will be sharing their fashions.  Hair and makeup will be done by Glam at the Grove!

On Sunday June 30, fashion was similarly used to empower young women afflicted with Scoliosis, or a curvature of the spine. That vital objective is why I feel blessed to have attended and helped out with the Curves of Life Fashion Show for the Curvy Girls program. For those of you who don’t know this program, Curvy Girls is an international Scoliosis support group that aims to raise awareness of Scoliosis while also providing support to sufferers in showing that they are not alone. As Curvy Girls is aimed at teenagers with Scoliosis, the Curves
