On September 2010, my sister had her Sweet Sixteenth birthday celebration, themed Alice in Wonderland! It was a pretty big party with over a hundred guests. My entire family dressed up in costumes for the occasion, I was the Red Queen - I designed my own costume, hence its unlike any of the 'Red Queen/Queen of Hearts' costumes out there. I did my own makeup, as well as my sister's makeup - by her request! I was a bit proud that she chose me to do her makeup instead of the salon's makeup artist. Haha. This post has the makeup looks I did for us both, as well as about her big night. Well, I hope you enjoy the pictures~ ! ♥

Shannon's Humongous Cake!
My family is pretty into the performing arts (not just me!). I choreographed Shannon's opening dance - commonly known as the Cotillion in a Filipina's debut, but we danced it to the Happy Unbirthday Song from the original Alice in Wonderland cartoon. My choreography was a mix of waltz and Broadway (ish?). Everyone loved it. :)
"Another cup of tea~ "
After the standard Debut ceremony line up, everyone dug in for food, and then the Flutterwacken Variety show began!

The show started with Shannon singing to 'In a World of My Own'
A tap dance featuring myself (22), my brothers (6 & 20) and sister (16)
And other performances by Shannon's high school and dance friends. They're all so talented!
Grand Finale ~ Dance to 'Tick Tock'
