The Dreamer of the Danger
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011My youngest sister was assigned to be the representative of their class for this months Miss United Nations school pageant with the theme of Women Empowerment. Obviously my sister was thrilled due to the fact that she loves dressing up, but the first thing that came up to my mind was the fact that dressing up, make up, hair and all those things that compose a pageant would inevitably cost money, which currently is a little difficult to produce much of. Due to my mom’s and my creative genius as well as thrifty ways thankfully we have found ways to create a gown from things that we have in store and update some dresses that we already have, so we realized that this pageant business would not be so costly after all. Anyhow, my mom and I decided that for some parts of the gown we would need some beads and accessories that we currently do not have but we are sure can be easily, and cheaply, found in the downtown area. So we went there one afternoon, me being the directionally impaired person that I am, got so confused by all the buying and selling going around with things like ceramic bird stands or teak furniture that I was feeling a little dizzy after a while. My mom and I went one afternoon but I got so confused by all the buying and selling going around with things like ceramic bird stands or teak furniture that I was feeling a little dizzy this being caused by the fact that I am a directionally impaired person. We were finally able to buy the little beady things, with a little haggling and a lot of sweaty walking, that we were looking for and a few weeks from the pageant, we were finally able to start making the gown. Since I have not been able to practice my sewing skills, it took a while for me to get used to the machine once again and I was able to finish the ruffles after an hour of cutting and sewing, hopefully, with my mom and my own perseverance, we could finish the gown in time for the pageant.
