props to PSA
Hey PSA, I was able to make it out to your fashion show this past weekend, and as promised, it was awesome. I mean it. The amount of planning and rehearsing that must have gone into pulling off an event of that size and that quality is remarkable. Y'all deserve a huge round of applause (which you actually did get on Saturday, so I guess that works out.) Anyway, thanks! You made my weekend.
Maybe we could get some pictures from the show up here?
