You can find further info on the conference at www.sccatl.org. Please view our photo gallery. "Both your classes are some of the best I attended at the conference. You know their were so many beautiful girls at this conference but there were still so many that needed you fashion and color advice and even though you had a good turn out for that class there should have been so many more that could have benefited by it. I had not heard the whole class before and I learned things I did not know so I know looking at many of the girls at the conference could have benefited by your talk" Stacy, Seattle (9/26/06) |
