I have many pictures and will post them later as my Internet is acting out.
I sold 3 out of 8 (Keiko, Zipporah, silicone cuddle Darren) on the 1st day and none on the 2nd day.
Vendors with clothes and accessories did fantastic!
I was expecting (since everything is so expensive in CA) that people would be willing to spend money, however there were so many new-commers who didn’t know much and came without being ready to pay. All my babies went to well established collectors.
I had fun and made some new friends AND spent time with my California family, so it was all worth it to me! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I think that show will build the momentum fast.

Yes!! It was great meeting you :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I wish had more time to spend with everyone. I used so much of my time trying to catchup with rooting.

That is always my regrets after any show. And not taking pictures with everyone that I talk to :frowning:

It’d be fun to have an “after party” the night of the last day or the day after the show. To celebrate with everyone, spend quality time together, etc.

But I also understand being tired and just wanting to go home or go to bed :joy:

OMG! Look at the FB posts in the WCDS group - it was SO FUN at the afterparty!
My other regret not attending all events of this show - they were SPECTACULAR!
I plan to do everything at the 2027, even that American’s 80s doesn’t apply to me :wink:

One of you creative ladies that are vending there should make custom outfits for rainbow Brite and the color kids babies.
