Today I dropped by the Fox 7 Austin studios to talk about the Mexic-Arte Museum 's Catrina Ball for the Good Day Austin show with Tania Ortega and Chelsea Andrews . These lovely ladies interviewed me about our annual event at the Museum that helps to raise funds for our Exhibition and Education programs.

Our event is at the Fairmont Austin from 5:30 - 11:00pm on Saturday, October 13, 2018. The program includes keynote speaker Carlos Tortolero, Founder and Director of the National Museum of Mexican Art, honors famous artist Rina Lazo, includes both silent and live art auctions, and a special fashion show by Midi Soliz.

My outfit was inspired by our theme for the Catrina Ball, which celebrates Mexico's indigenous roots by paying tribute to Mayan creation myth of the Hero Twins. My makeup was by Olivia Tamzarian and I designed my own flower crown.

I selected this color green, because it was the same color used for the uniforms.

I used Pinterest as a tool to begin to visualize and gather inspiration for how I envisioned the end product.
