On Saturday night, mom and I went to her final Rio Senior Fashion Show. 25 years ago, my high school began doing this yearly fashion show. It was a fundraiser thought of by enterprising PTA moms. A teacher MC-ed and others were recruited to be models along with kids from the senior class. It began with local shops donating goodies or volunteering to be a featured clothing store. It was a 'ladies only' event that look place outside with lovely decorated tables, a delicious catered lunch and each person got a fabulous goodie bag. Other Seniors would sing and play instruments during the show. There was an auction for all kinds of fun things. I was in it as a Senior and my mom was in it several times. Boy has it changed. Now it is a show in the gym and everybody (including boys) sits in the bleachers. Rock bands play, kids MC and no teachers are involved. There are mediocore desserts following the program. Despite these changes, the show itself is still really cute and brings bakcs lots of fond memories.
