A Fashion Icon

For a about a week, I've been hearing all this buzz about fashion icon, Cindy Crawford, coming to town to promote her furniture line at the Rooms To Go in Grapevine, Texas this Saturday. My Aunt Imelda and I were at the shop counting inventory and thought, "Why not?... Let's go down there and check it out." We stopped what we were doing, put a "We will return...." note on the door, and went on our way.

Upon arrival, there was a long line that wrapped around the front of the store. The line in the store was just as long. At this point we thought there was no way we would be able to meet her with this many people ahead. We waited around for a little while just to get a close glimpse of the famous supermodel.

Near the back of the store, roped off with security standing by, was Cindy Crawford. She was sitting at a table, casually dressed in jeans and a fuchsia colored top. One by one, she met with each fan that took the time to come out and wait in line to see her. She visited, signed an autograph and posed for a picture. The store manager told the remaining people waiting in line that there was a possibility that they would not get a chance to meet her because she had a plane to catch.

A few minutes later, she got up and graciously thanked everyone for coming, but it was time for her to go.

However....my Aunt and I were on a mission. There was no way we were leaving without either of us getting a picture with Cindy Crawford! Cindy was greeting people while she was making her way towards the exit. A crowd of people started to rush towards her. I was distracted with all the chaos as people started to push forward. All of a sudden I hear my Aunt shout, "Hey Jase! Follow me hurry!" I thought to myself, "What?". I saw my Aunt weaving through the crowd working her way to the front. I've never seen her move so fast. I needed to catch up. With my camera in hand, ready to go, I dodged my way through.

I heard my Aunt say, "Hi Cindy!..." I don't remember anything after that. All I know, is that I got a pretty good shot. Here is Supermodel Cindy Crawford with Imelda of Articles A-Z.

Look how tall Cindy is compared to Imelda at 4ft something.

Peace,
