The Red Coat made it's first social event in Bolivia. One of my friends daughter-in-law is a very well known and respected clothing designer here in Cochabamba. She has made a couple of dresses and a evening gown for me. She invited Carl and I to a fashion show featuring 9 designers from Bolivia. It was all very up scale and exciting. About 1,500 people attended by invitation only. There were really wonderful collections presented,

beautiful models and the gift bags were full of great gifts. Doesn't get much better than that.

Bolivians, like all of South America love beautiful women and they like to dress in beautiful cloths.

This first dress was my favorite, could have something to do with the beautiful model. I think I will have ViVi do something similar to it next year for me for the Calvert graduation presentation. At Carl's school it is tradition to have a presentation ball and dinner for the graduates. Very formal, parents and everyone wear tuxs and gowns. Most designer gowns which you can afford here. In fact I think I will add a picture of some of the girls in their gowns from the graduation ball. Again beautiful girls and gowns.
