The fashion show was great.  There were about 58 participants and the fashions were fantastic.  The chair of the fashion show played the piano instead of having recorded music.

2012 Barbie Convention- So In Style Party

The So in Style Yahoo and Facebook groups had a party at the Barbie Convention.  It was hosted by Kimberly, the organizer of the groups.  She did a great job.  I really enjoyed it.  They had dolls displays, food, wonderful goodies,  and a thinking game  about Paris and dolls.  It was a fun evening.

The So In Style Dolls on Display:

Mattel donated  the real and paper dolls for the members

Stephen Sumner ( the designer for So In Style Dolls) signed the paper dolls for us.   Each attendee was given 2 paper dolls and I won the third one in a raffle.  I am only missing Trichelle.

2012 Barbie Convention-Wed.

Wednesday, July 11, 2012 .

It was the welcome reception.  This year they had a full food buffet but it was a surprised because you thought it was just a salad buffet until you continued down the line.  They also had the golden ticket raffle for the first time.  You were given raffle tickets to get a chance to win one of the raffle dolls.

Let the room shopping begin.  It actually begun on Sunday.
