Our friends, Dom and Hannah threw an all day wearable arts birthday party (workshop) for their daughter Anais 9th birthday. Then at the conclusion of the days events they would parade their creations. So Hannah came up with another wild idea, how about a 'Black Tie' function for the parents with the highlight of the night being the girls runway fashion show. The night included bubbles and nibblies, and even utilised the boys as waiters and MC's for their sisters. Us parents supplied plenty of flash action for the girls so they really felt like super models. Ruha and her sister Monara were in charge of the girls and assisted the girls all day with everything from picking each theme, researching it, creating the outfits and choreographing the dances and stage show. What an awesome night and everyone played their part from the adults to those (normally) evil little brothers. Once the show was over the girls had a sleep over but when we left they were all still on a high. It must have been a mad house trying to settle them. To top it all off the girls didn't even make it to school the next day making it a 2 day birthday party and heaps of fun.
Our hosts! Dom, Anais (front) and Hannah.
