+The fashion show yesterday was amazing, we did 3 run through and after backstage mess ups we set stuff up much easier for all designers. It was amazing and smooth and my family was impressed on how professional it was. It's insane that in 20 seconds something you worked so hard on is on and off that runway so quick, bitter sweet. Thanks to everyone that deals with the sound of the machine at almost 2 am (Dad& Mom, Peter, Jav, George), Bryan for having to put up with my minor freak outs, the venting, the fabric shopping and the buttons, what a nightmare! haha Without all you guys I know this wouldn't be possible and as you all saw I will need the most patience and support for next years show. Thank you to everyone who attended, and Erica I hope you are feeling better.

Most Importantly, my dress was dedicated to a beautiful young woman, Tanya. No one really knew why I named my dress, "The Tanya Dress" but now you all get to understand why.On May 13th 2005 my family lost someone very special. Taken away by and irresponsible bastard who drove drunk. I've learned to accept this strangers mistakes but I will never forgive them, nor will we ever get to see her beautiful smile. I think back on how much fun we had as kids, growing up with her and Julie was so much fun. We always found some kind of trouble to get into and always found our way out. One of my favorite memories was when we stooped the ice cream man, and in their neighborhood you walked into the truck but for me that seems sooo scary as a kid. I thought the ice cream people would drive away with us in the truck. It was a big long truck, you walking in the side got what you wanted and stepped off through the steps on the back, I remember her laughing at me because I was scared but she always had a way of making me feel safe. I got on and found myself in heaven, this truck had everything, from pan dulce, ice cream, candy, to bananas. I miss her so much and getting to see her brothers and sister grow up without her breaks my heart. We all try to stay positive and think of the time we had with her rather than the time we wont have with her.
Forever in our lives Tanya Gonzales June 27 1986- May 13 2005
