Apparently Alexandra is my lucky charm because on Saturday I won three raffles at the finale event of Bellevue Fashion week. Add three pieces of women’s jewelry (a red lizardskin bracelet, a green lizardskin bracelet, and a pink beaded necklace) to the list of loot we’ve won together.
We got to the show about thirty minutes before it started (morning was spent in preparation for my modeling debut – more on that tomorrow – and the afternoon was spent at another free concert) only to discover that tickets were sold out! And people were getting turned away at the door.
So talking our way in wasn’t easy. We did it, but I’m not proud of it. I’ll be spending this next week paying back the good karma fund to balance things back out.
Alexandra and I did buy two raffle tickets each once inside, just to try to give a little back. I got three more tickets later because a couple I had randomly chatted with in the elevator had to leave early and gave us theirs on their way out.
Out of a raffle with about ten prizes, two of those three free tickets won. As well as one of the two tickets I bought.
Grand total: one very cool fashion show and three pieces of expensive but less-than-attractive women’s jewelry. Not a bad night.l
