Story of the Day

We had a quiz on the Rose Festival today.  But they're going to let me represent them anyway.

We also had a buffet dinner for our friends and family.  I invited my friends and my mentor, as well as my Mom and my favorite administrators at Lincoln.

We watched a slide show of our progress so far.  Today is the last time we will appear in non-matching clothing.  We each got to wear one of our 15 or 16 outfits.

Story of the Day

Five hours of Princess training, but I'm alright.  Blarg.  Tonight I went to the Rose City Sing Off and fell in love with A Cappella!  My favorite group was Nothing But Treble, probably because of their awesome shoes!!!!  And their rendition of "Mary, Did You Know" absolutely brought the house to tears.  All these kids are uber talented and most groups are student created and led.  I can respect that!

Story of the Day


The Rose Court poses in their controversial duds.

The quote read, "The 2015 Court look snazzy in their new outfits from their wardrobe sponsor FredMeyer!"  But the public was not buying it.  Portlanders can be so opinionated and humorous at the same time...I cracked up when someone called this Portland camouflage.  That said, our wardrobes really are all about combining pieces for multiple outfits.  Thanks to Fred Meyers and Ms. Carla Stenberg for a lot of great separates!
