The Hale Centre Theatre received the honor of having the US premier of Zorro the Musical. (Zorro the Musical has performed in the West End, Moscow, Tokyo, Amsterdam, and Rio.) The Theatre decided to have a nice celebration to commemorate the premier. Unfortunately, my mom had to work in the box office that evening, so I invited my friend Michael to join me.
It was a formal event so I decided to go all out. (I hadn't gotten this fancied up since high school prom days.) I went to a hair salon and got my hair and make up done. A young girl named
Jade did an amazing job! We had some miscommunication at the beginning but the final product was perfection! She asked me what I
wanted for my hair but I didn’t really have any idea. I told her I wanted something
elegant because I was attending a fancy event that evening. She asked
if I wanted a mess bun in the back of my head, and I said no! I could have done a messy bun by myself! Luckily, her supervisor was listening to
our miscommunications and suggested a bunch of barrel curls with some
pieces spiraled down and some spiral curls on the sides of my face in
the front. After an hour and ten minutes, 37 bobby pins, two elastics, a
can of hairspray, and some curling iron action, the results were
stunning. It was probably the most elegant hairstyle I had ever had!
Jade did an amazing job! Then Jade did my make-up for the evening as
well. She made my eyes look stunning! My eyelashes actually looked
long (an amazing feat)! She was a miracle worker! I loved the finished product!
Since I got the tickets for the premier, Michael took care of dinner. When he picked me up, he said we had to hurry because we had
reservations downtown in fifteen minutes. I told him we had to take a
picture of the two of us first. We clean up quite nicely, if I do say so myself!
We ate dinner at a very nice restaurant. The food was beyond delicious! We got to the theatre just before the show began. It was a very good production! I
loved the Flamenco dancing, the sword fighting, and the songs. After the show, I took some more pictures
with Mom and Michael.
I had a fun evening getting all dressed up. I should do this more often!
