Dartmouth, Oh Dartmouth...How We Miss Thee!!

Darmouth College...if you can remember was the location of the 2008 first presidentail debate.. The school is an Ivy League College located in New Hamsphire, less than 1 hour away from Boston, Vermont, and Quebec, Canada.

This very hilly and snowy side of the world was where we were...We are Africans and mind you, We hate snow..ok...not hate but we are not great fans!!!

BUT MEIN!!! We miss Darmouth...
What was it?? Maybe the sensational models, The African Carribean Society, the unity of the event organizers, or the fashion show audeience who were screaming from beggining to end....Maybe it was just the music.... Aaaaahhh!

The chocolate and youth friendly champagne was served as refreshments..What a prelude to Valentine's weekend just a week near!! We had fun..Wish we could rewind, but such is life!

Special shouth to Catianne, Boma, David, Casey, Danielle, Henry, Anna-Sophia, Danielle, Henry, Kanika, Jasmine, Janna, Andres, Charles and the four Ashleys..LOL

The lovely hosts Brandon & Ashley.

Next up... February 21st at the DC Fashion Week Special and The Howard University African Students Association's 6th Annual Fashion Show- KALA: CouLeur.....KALA: The Resurrection.
