It pays to be our fan!

The home stretch to the Hawaii Women's Expo!

Here we are, about 4 days away from the first day of the 10th Annual Hawaii Women's Expo!  Shipments of over 200 pieces of new tops, dresses, jeans, ccdoodle vintage obi belts, beautiful necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, and even ccdoodle men's ts have arrived, been tagged and are almost ready for their debut. 

Ever wonder how many people it takes to
put on a 15 minute fashion show...take a look! :)
Prepared the Stage Director's folder
 including her "backstage" pass, the music
CD for the show, exhibitor passes,
and the line up and detailed schedule
for the weekend.













Putting on one major fashion show is a production, but putting on three fashion shows requires the three Cs...coordination, collaboration, and ... lots of coffee!  About 50 volunteers will assist with this year's expo and fashion shows and when you consider that the show itself is only 15 minutes long, that's a lot of quick movement and shuffling of people and resources.  A fashion show is what I like to think of as organized chaos.  My job is to make sure the organized part is more prevalent than the chaos part.  Stay tuned to join me on this crazy, but totally exciting week!
Picked up the fashion show
programs and flyers from the printers.
