Here's a little background. Clothing for our kids with Ds is often hard to find. Target clothes may be cute, but let's face it-they're made for stick figures. My older daughter never had a problem and actually needed those skinny little styles. Unfortunately, they just don't work for Abigail. (There are some wonderful vendors here with some beautiful women's clothing by a designer with Ds. I can't say as much for the men. Sorry, guys!)
Any way, we saw a lovely young woman with a striking dress that would look fabulous on Abigail. I stopped them to ask where she'd found it, and was having a very nice conversation with her mom. I noticed lots of folks stopping behind us and asking for photos. Me, being clueless, asked her Mom why everyone wanted her photo. Turns out the beautiful young lady was:
Christina from the show "Born This Way". I was embarrassed to have to admit that I never watch the show. I can't bring myself to watch it. I don't know why. Maybe it's simply because we don't have cable and I never watch TV, or because I figure I'd just cry through it anyway, or that I don't like reality shows and it seems like it would be very staged and give false impressions of what our lives are really like day-to-day, or that these kids would be placed in uncomfortable situations just to see how they react. I don't know, but I just have no desire watch it.
She was a very sweet young woman, and her mom and dad were very nice, too. We had a very pleasant conversation and went on our way. Maybe I should try watching her show just to see if she's as sweet as she is in person. It's like that here-meeting celebrities is just a thing you do at Convention :)
