Hey.. or should I say HOWDY!!
Day 4 began with the doll signings. We saw Robert Best, Ann Driskill and Sharon Zuckerman - all awesome Mattel Barbie designers. Next we were off to Fashion show rehearsal and then the Fashion show, our favorite event. The night finished up with the Mattel event. It was a Jazz hot caberet and they announced each of us would receive one of their new Jazz Caberet Dolls!
Enjoy the show!

Doll signing
One pregnant conventioneer had Robert Best on her shirt. He signed her belly! I bet it was the first time he's done that.

Me with Robert Best and Joyeux (We asked him how this was pronounced.. he said Jzoi-a) Marcy wears his design in the fashion show. I am a nervous wreck thinking the actual designer will see my rendition of his design!
Marcy and I ran into our friend and Convention Chair Angie Heffley on our way to Fashion show rehearsal. Y'all think she's exhausted from running a convention?? She's still a doll.
Just a quick stop off for a Bull ride before rehearsal!
Marcy opted for roping a calf, she wasn't taking a chance of getting bucked off the bull!
Ric Markin, Fashion show coordinator, goes over the plan for the show.
