Ebony Fashion Fair come back to me!

I love my mother for the things she exposed to me to when I was younger...especially when it came to our culture. She took me to see so many plays, the Alvin Ailey dancers, and so much more. I loved every minute of it, and I especially enjoyed spending that "girl time" with my mom.

My mother took me to my first Ebony Fashion Show (show is what we called it) when I was about 11 or 12. We had great seats, and from the start of the show I was hooked. I loved, loved seeing everyone. Every year, she had tickets. We always made sure we had good seats, and as I got older I would sometimes take a friend. I last attended the Ebony Fashion Fair in 2003.

Being stationed overseas for a few years, I missed out on the good shows like The Color Purple and The Ebony Fashion Fair. Now that I'm back, I am trying to jump right into the swing of going to see great shows. Gives me the opportunity to get fly, spend quality time, and be entertained. Last year, I decided that I was going to make time to hit up some of the shows that I love so much. I searched and searched for the schedule of when the Fashion Show was going to hit a city close to me. Come to find out, the Ebony Fashion Fair is not touring right now. Following the death of the Fair's producer and director, Mrs. Eunice W. Johnson, the show was canceled. I read on another blog that the economy has affected the show's sponsors. *sigh*....disappointment.

I am hoping that the Ebony Fashion Fair will be able to begin traveling again for the 2011 season. If so, I'll be on the third row, with my eyes wide open, and with a homegirl that loves fashion . lol.....if not, I need to find some kind of fashion show to go to. I like the scene.
