Today was the start of an amazing journey for me and a new direction. The Dreams and I met up at Saks Fifth Avenue for our very first fitting. We spent half of the day trying on shoes and dresses for our press events this week. They had gorgeous beautifully colored gowns and sexy little black dresses. They told us to try on everything and put aside anything we like on one rack. I found some great pieces ya'll. Mmmmmm......:)
So, before we started all the trying on William Ivy Long, the Costume Designer introduced himself to us all and he pulled out his lovely stash of sketches for the show.They were to die for. I felt like a kid. I was at the edge of my seat, because I just got "the bestest news in dee wurld"...lol Just so you all know William is a Tony Award
-winning costume designer for stage and film. His most notable work includes The Producers, Hairspray, Nine, Crazy for You, Grey Gardens and Young Frankenstein. The costumes are absolutely stunning. I can't wait to get into all of them. We have sooooooo many changes ya'll it's crazy!!!!! 
But it's all good with me...lol
So after his very detailed and fabulous intro. we tried on everything. They had jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Prada,and all sorts of fancy dresses. We all were prancing around in the mirror like Dreamgirls..... :) We took pictures in every look for the wardrobe team and that was that.
Afterwards Moya (Effie) and I grabbed a bite to eat at Chipotle and the manager explained to us that Chipotle is different from all the other branches similar to it, because their meat is farmed raised and the food is 30% organic....yeh so...30% organic? I think she could have left out that detail...lol
So, off to rehearsal we went. We rehearsed "Dreamgirls", "One Night Only" and "Listen" the new song added to the show. It will be a duet between Deena and Effie with new lyrics. All the songs we went over are for all the press this week.
All the excitement got me exhausted so, I walked back to my hotel finished my 30% Organic Chipotle and took a much needed nap.
Overall today was a good day. It was nice getting to meet the wardrobe team and William. And of course I enjoyed hanging out with my girls. We were able to get some bonding time. They all are extremely talented and fun to be around. Loves it!!! My day starts early again tomorrow.....I look forward to it.
