Tissu Pictures!

K, so people keep telling me to post tissu pictures -- here you go.  This is mostly models, but I'll try to find pictures of my dresses (which I usually like more) soon.  Excuse the awkward angles and poses... most of these I took by myself, and my table isn't at the most flattering height.

Swear-in matching tissue back in September -- so cute!  L to R: Brittany, me, Elyse, and Jenny


This is me in my second model (moh-DEHL).  I look ridiculous because I'm trying to do my teacher face,
but that's difficult to do when there's no one staring back at you looking scared.

Bevin and I during stage, modeling our tissue.
My host family bought this tissu for me -- it's higher quality stuff called basin, so I got it made into a model for fancier occasions.  At first I felt like cotton candy, but now I kind of like it.
This is Lou, Sam and I at a church fete, all wearing tissu.  Mine, as you might be able to see, the yellow spots on mine are in fact portraits of the Virgin Mary, all of which are labeled (in French) "Our Holy Lady, pray for us."
Excuse my scrubbiness -- I had just worked for 8 hours and was a little grubby.  I just got this boomba made, and it has gorgeous embroidery around the neckline.  Pricey (I paid $14 for the whole outfit), but pretty!
My newest model -- green and turquoise with puff sleeves and a belt.  My
village friends tell me I'm very stylish in this one. :)
