I am usually down to respond to any request that presupposes the fact that I have no shame. So when my fashion designer friend Jamaica sent out a cry for help – needing someone who could wear all white (fashion suicide!) and tap-dance themselves and several signs across the front of the stage of the biggest nightclub venue in Downtown Sacramento – I was SO THERE. Nevermind the fact that I haven’t officially tap-danced since I was, well, 7 years old. That’s beside the point.
‘Twas The Beatles’ White Album Show at Harlow’s: Sixteen bands covering the entire album, and me, traipsing my little ass back and forth around the stage with a sign announcing each band’s name.
Here’s what I wore (spoiler: I cheated and wore cream with black accents).
eyelet minidress: $20 at Winners
knit tights: $3 at some cheezy mall hole
heeled brogues: borrowed from my sister (thrifted)
black knit beret: a Belgian souvenir from Eve
Jamaica’s fashion show from her line, Sapphire Cordial featured an opulent parade of serene models in alabaster sixties-inspired dresses, wielding refreshingly innocuous protest signs. I couldn’t find many good photos, but believe me, it was lovely.

You are a seriously entertaining writer Amber, that first sentence is priceless.
Adorable dress.
And, fun as this looks, I’m sure glad I don’t work at Harlow’s anymore!

You look…adorable! The beret and shoes choice is perfect. I am so glad you are back in Sacramento.
You make a wonderful tap dancin sign girl, and that fashion show looks like it ruled. The lovely girls in the up close picture look like cool chicks as well. Vury Nice Darling.
You look very cute, consider yourself checked out!
You are the cutest. Love it.
You sweet thing! You looked adorable!

It is nice of you to share this kind of idea creating your own sign for fashion celebration.
