Ancestors Celebration (GTHV) 2012

 This weekend the Vietnamese cultural event Giỗ Tổ Hùng Vương (Ancestors celebration) was held. My friends and I have been planning this for months, and suddenly the big day approached. We went to the location the night before to get some things ready. I think Friday night to Saturday night felt like one long day for us all! I haven't been so stressed in such a long timespan. I felt like I had been turning somersaults the whole day ヾ(。￣□￣)ﾂ

Anyway, as mentioned earlier, my primary responsibility was the Fashion show. Planning when all the girls should meet for rehearsal, makeup and hair was a big stress for me. Even though I did half of the girls' makeup around noon and the latter in the evening, it was super stressful and my back hurt like crazy since I have to stand up and do the makeup. I love doing makeup. But doing it on 10 girls+ is something whole different!! 

 This is all the models! I designed all the dresses, made the hair accessories and makeup. We have a seamstress who is specialized in sewing aó dài (Vietnamese tradiotional dress), who has helped us every year. The fabric for the dresses is bought in Vietnam.

Sadly I have none real close-up of the girls' makeup, as I was too busy actually doing the makeup!

 

 I took some portraits of all the girls though. You can see them all on my facebook

Other pictures from the event and the actual fashion show can be seen on our facebook page: DTTN Lac Hong.

 I stole this pic from one of the girls~

Anyway, the evening went by pretty well. I was stuck in makeup and hair most of the evening though lol, but that's just how it is.

Hope you liked! ｡◕‿◕｡

So this weekend I was hosting a Vietnamese culture night with some friends, where I was in charge of the fashion show. Everything from designing the dresses (vietnamese ao dai) to styling the models. I think the hardest part was actually to cut out all the flowers for the makeup and put the pieces together ε-(´・｀) Luckily I had a great team that helped me doing the models' hair and gluing the flowers on haha! Thanks Rose, Maria and Lan for helping me out o(^▽^)o
I was busy all day with doing the models' makeup and hair and got really stressed. I had to model myself as well so when it was suddenly showtime I forgot everything that we practised ☆⌒(＞。≪)

After the fashion show we went backstage to take some photos.. and doing weird poses haha! That's me to the right btw doing the agepayo-pose if you hadn't noticed XD

And thanks to all the models (∩_∩)

I got this awesome Spongebob Tee from my cousin at the culture night!! Love it SO much!!! ♥

Monday I went with Maria and Morten to Flow Dance Academy to do zumba try out some LA style dance..! I've been thinking for a loooong time that I really wanted to start dancing (hiphop style or something) - but I always thought that I was too old and stuff >.< So it was really nice to go with someone! We had a lot of fun watching each other jumping around soaked in sweat XD No really, it was SOOO GREAT!! I was really REALLY happy that I went there, so now me and Maria are starting (☆▽☆) But Rihanna's song 'Hard' is stucked on my mind since that's the one we danced to

I went out street shopping a bit today to get some baggy sweat pants I can dance in. I found some grey Bloc28 Disney sweat pants XD And then these Nike sneaks that I needed.. because they were awesome and on sale and coincidently in my size...

Today's outfit.. I tried a different eyeliner style just for fun, instead of the cateyeish thing I always do (o^−^o) Unfortunately I've grown allergic to the eyelash glue I use.. And since we used lash glue for the flowers for the fashion show, I got all red around my right eye ( 　ﾟ,_ゝﾟ) Gotta find a new glue.. cheap crap!

Doing weird leg pose haha! Got the tank top from my cousin as well (she went on a trip to Miami that's why). And yes - I totally love tank tops! ♥

And this totally made my day! I was in the metro and this little asian boy had this awesome spongebob bag! I had to secretly snap the picture with my iphone haha! I wanted to ask where he got it from but thought it would be a bit too creepy >3>'
And you might have guessed by now that I'm in a serious realtionship with Spongebob.. Or maybe just his fangirl..

Woah long post... But that was all for now!
