    Like lightning, flashbacks of my fashion designing days came to me last week. My very dear friend and Editor in Chief of En Boga Magazine, Vicky Lujan,invited me to the Custo Barcelona show that took place during the annual ADS (America Developing Smiles) fundraising event.

    In between doing some shopping and some chatting, Custo Dalmau gave us a very warm welcome backstage. It wasn’t too long ago when I used to show my handbag line in this organization’s sought-after Fashion Bazaar. 

    The day couldn’t be over without my bumping into old fashion friends like Haute fashion jewelry designer from MIMA jewelry from Puerto Rico. Good times!

    Currently, AMERICA DEVELOPING SMILES consists of more than 300 trained volunteers, helps more than 1,500 children in Latin America, and works directly with 3 community outreach programs in South Florida, as well as 3 educational centers in Puerto Rico.

    Haute Cowgirl, Fashion Poet style Geez... hungry back there?

    What to pack? What to pack? What will I need when I’m far, far away from here?

    You must travel in style! - Said she

    So, I agreed and invited my favorite fashion blogger and stylist extraordinaire to help me pack the most colorful suitcase I had ever seen in my life!

    Who is he? And what is he doing here?

    I had to explain to her that the afternoon wouldn’t be complete without my creative collaborator by our side.

    Girl scout freaks (minus the cookies)

    Girl Scout 1: Is it my imagination, or has my contour been drawn with a segmented line?
    Girl Scout 2: Yes, you have indeed been drawn with a fragmented line around that mismatched body of yours. Ha!
    GS 1: You monster! how can you laugh? Help me erase it.
    GS 3: Before they cut you out… may I have my shirt back, please? I am hating this bore of a top they gave me.
    GS 1: Hey! that’s my top you’re talking about!
    GS 4: (Yawn…) You people bore the badge out of me. I’m out of here.
    GS 1: Not before you return my shorts!
    GS 3: What are you talking about, mismatchy? Those are MY shorts!
    GS 1: And I hate these boots!!! it’s not even raining!
    GS 4: Geez… complain much?
    GS 2: I believe the main problem lies in your inability to make the most out of your special condition. Yes, you have been drawn around in a line that surely gets interpreted as a sign that you will be the first one to go, in paper-doll world, but I can assure you that it is not likely to happen.
    GS 4: You see? Now chill!
    GS 1: I’m not sure about any of this… I’d rather… 
    SNIP SNIP SNIP!!!
    (Scissors cutting around Girl Scout 1).
    GS 4: Oops!


    This craze of an entry inspired by the beautiful and bizarre (just a tiny bit) display of Jill Sander Navy SS2012 Collection.

    Ok, these are clearly not freaks, I just made them look like that for the pleasure of it.
    What they are is wearing a collection that was INDEED inspired by Girl Scouts. No, they don’t carry any cookies in their tote bags. No, they have not earned any badges that I know of. Yes, that is exactly the conversation that they would have if you were not looking at them right now.
