Congrats, AAU School of Fashion Class of 2009

Third row back. Far right. My face at my first major runway show! Totally enthralled and mesmerized by the perfectly timed show. I'm so thankful Associate Art Director at Diablo magazine Alisha Petro had an extra ticket for last night's Academy of Art University School of Fashion graduation fashion show.

It was fantastic. Bright lights. Thumping tracks. The beautiful dance of models strutting down the runway.

Most impressive moments: The way the models seamlessly transitioned from sky high laced booties to menswear flats without losing the grace and rhythm of their gazelle-like strut.
