Quinceañera #4

Hey everyone long time no see. Recently my niece Guadalupe, Lupita for short and less of a mouth full to say just had her Quinceañera. Her dress was an interesting color similar to my other niece Ariana's but more minty green. It varied in color depending on the light. Same with her converse that I blinged out for her they were the exact color of the dress and also looked different in different light. Lupita's Quinceañera was actually took place on the 2nd of July her actual birthday is in December. She didn't really have padrinos for anything her parents went out and pretty much did it on their own, not many parents do for this kind of event. So it took a lot of saving and hard work. She had no Damas only Chambelánes.

Lupita in her dress for the first time.

The Converse I blinged out for her. I did this too for Ariana.

Sooo sparkley!

Quinceañera #2 Janet's

Hey everyone sorry its been awhile I've been busy with school and all the craziness of my life. This blog post is about my niece Janet's quinceañera . As you can see from your pictures and video her dress was blue. Her special day was fun, and it took a lot of planning.To start off the surprise dance that the boys did with Janet was kinda hard for them to learn especially when all the boys have never really danced or moved their hips. It took a LOT of LONG practices over the summer. While she was busy with that her girl cousins and I all decided hey let's do a surprise dance for her, we can totally do this in a week...yeah not the best idea we ever had. We were trying to learn it within a week and not tell her. Unfortunately she caught us in the act by snapchat and selfies her cousins were taking and forgot that she was in the snapchat group convo. She busted us when she got a hint through snapchat then called her two sisters who were at practice. It ended up working out because then we had her involved and in the surprise dance.

This is Janet and her surprise gift. I hand made a life size version of a little bunny she used to carry around when she was a little girl. Everyone loved the bunny and even took it out dancing.

The first video is Janet's surprise dance with her boys and the second one is Janet and the girls. Sorry  for the quality of this video due to the song and the Warner producers having problems on Youtube  I couldn't get this full video on there but here it is the girls surprise dance for Janet's Quinceañera.

Alesana and all the other bands that played Friday night!

Sorry for not posting as soon as I wanted to, I was busy writing up a case study for my class...I finally got sick of it and had to take a break. Last night's show was AMAZING! All the bands that attended did a outstanding job, especially the bands I didn't really know much about. They were good and then some. Let's see the first band that played last night was Funeral Portrait. These guys are from the great state of Georgia, specifically Atlanta. These big boys were the first ones to be welcomed onto the stage and they did not disappoint. Their album "FOR THE DEARLY DEPARTED" is available now so be sure to look for it. And the GIRLS from Conquer Divide posted second,  these girls are beautiful, confident and know how to work a stage! They showed the same amount of passion for their work as any of their male counter parts that played throughout the night. They also were very friendly. I gotta hand it to them, they showed no fear in playing in a all male line up. They showed so much energy up on that stage. They are for sure a band to check out. The third band to play Friday night was the Browning. They were one of the best bands of the night. They were full of energy, which made their performance amazing! The vocalist had screams that sounded nice and full, reaching high screams and low screams perfectly. Their electronic sounds made people dance and bounce, giving the show that night club vibe. The guitar players did crazy guitar tricks like flips and spins. They made the lineup look more badass and rocked hard! They made the audience very energetic with lots of dancing and headbanging. The fourth band to play was Capture The Crown also had an amazing performance with lots of energy. They did very well with getting the audience involved. Jeffrey, the vocalist, made the best of the show by allowing crowd surfing. He also stage dived with an inflatable boat, managing to be taken/crowdsurfing almost everywhere in the audience. He also stage dived from the speakers which were around ten feet tall! Those were some of the things that helped make the night memorable.

Here is some pictures from that night. We went up stairs to the VIP section and happened to look out the window and saw ALESANA! Hanging out in the back of the building and taking pictures with fans that some how figured out how to find them.

You might wonder what does Alesana do before they go on stage besides practice? Well I got it on camera. Theylike to play frisbee and some other game that involves trash cans.

I give you the girls from Conquer Divide!

This is what the stage looked like from above in the VIP section. It was a great view, I would've stayed up here but I enjoy being up front in the crowd too much.

If you loved the Emptiness or A Place Where the Sun is Silent, the you will love Confessions. I caught the guitar pick from Shane :D and got hit in the head with a water bottle that Dennis threw into the crowd. Lol it was an amazing night!
