Before the outbreak of the corona virus I was in a different scene in the fashion show. I was in a scene where we were going to have puppies walk the runway with cute little clothes on while their handlers walk them down the runway; but now I must do an entirely new and different scene. The scene that I am working on now is the wedding scene where I have to find models to wear some of the dresses that they can fit into and have someone who lives in her household to do her hair, makeup, and take her picture so that we can put it in our picture book for the show. So far, I have a few people that said that they will be my models and send me pictures of them all dressed up as brides; if I can’t find any more models to wear the rest of the dresses I do have another idea in mind. I have mannequin that I can put the dresses on and pretend that it’s a dress you see and want to pick out of a bridal shop, with the help of Marcom making the background look like the dress is actually in a bridal shop. I also thought about wearing some of the wedding dresses that fit me and having my younger sister do my hair and makeup because she took cosmetology for a while in high school, and my mom can take a few pictures in some of the nice and beautiful spots in Leroy. Some of the spots I was thinking of taking pictures at are one of our churches, a bridge on Mill St., and at the elementary school near the creek there is a gazebo that would be a nice to take some pictures near water. I also ask MarCom in the email I sent yesterday if they could possibly make it look like the bride is walking down the aisle. So, I know that I have to do a completely different scene and I can’t be with the model when they are doing their photo shoot, but I am sure that everyone else in the fashion show program has the same exact problems as I do with making so many changes to each of their scenes. It has also been complicated to try to do everything from home as well, but we are all trying to figure it out. I also had an idea that an idea that if I can’t find anyone to wear the dresses, then my mom and I know some women that could send us pictures from their weddings, wearing their dresses that we could possible use. Either way I am still trying to figure out a whole new different scene that I hope will look amazing in the picture book that we are putting together. Those are my changes that I am making to the fashion show since the out break of the corona virus and how hard I am working on making sure that the scene will look perfect when it is all put together.
