Today was the Ladies' Luncheon here at the park. We had a pot luck lunch and then a style show. Anyone could be in the style show, but you must have purchased your clothes from one of the many "ropa" stores located throughout the valley. Ropa is the Spanish word for "clothes" and in these "stores," clothes are piled high on mounds and you plop yourself on top of the mountain and start sorting through. Everything is sold by the pound and it was interesting to see what the ladies came up with on their forage through the ropa.
As it turned out, there were several beautiful dresses. I'm not sure what you would wear these dresses to, but they were beautiful and colorful neverthe less. Here are some of the items modeled by their owner (the last black/white gown won the competition):
It was a lot of fun and I am ready to go shopping!
Till next time. . .
