Sandy's Journey
The Diva  

  Sheila asked me to model at the Sisterlocks Regional Conference which was hosted by Everette's Cornrows & Braiding Academy in April 2001.  I have never done anything like this before; and needless to say, I was scared to death.

We had a practice session where the group of us practiced the routines that Sheila 'choreographed' for us.  We were all dressed in jeans and tired from the day's work, and none of us had the energy to put everything into the practice session. Sheila kept saying "Bring out the diva. I want to see the diva in you! Let yo diva out!" As tired as we were, it just wasn't in us that night. We just walked through the routines and tried not to step on each other's feet; but we promised her we'd be perfect for showtime. I even went home and practiced to make sure I didn't turn left when I was supposed to be turning right. :-)

Come Saturday at the conference, Delores Smith from Oils by John (810-327-6438) got with each of us to advise us on how to show off her beautiful creations to their fullest.  Believe me... in these beautiful pieces of art, it wasn't difficult at all to "show off". The clothing was designed by Delores, and the artwork was done by John Smith. Amazing stuff!  I sure hope I did it justice!



This black pantsuit was SO comfortable! It's hard to see, but my arms are outstretched to show off the cape-like sleeves.

That's Queen (on the left) and Margaret behind me. Let me tell you, we all felt like queens in these clothes!

Here's one that I absolutely loved.  The arwork on this outfit is awesome!  It was hard to contain my grin.  I felt SO FINE!

 
 
Margaret and I do our little routine... a slight curtsy of recognition and respect from one sistah to another.

 
I think I found my diva!


In case I haven't mentioned it lately, 
I LOVE MY SISTERLOCKS!
