KeiKaiKoa Fashion Show

Hafia Hafia and Autumn Autumn, Kate, Catherine, Quentina Kate It has been about 8 years since I last produced a fashion show and it was like riding a bicycle. The same familiar feeling takes over, joy. I use to amuse myself with glossy magazines that my mother would collect from friends. Imagination ran rampant at a young age of five. My mother spoke highly of these women on these pages and she admired the models in their beauty and intelligence. The celebrities of her time were actors, singers, artists, writers, authors, judges and they were all beautifully coiffed and featured in these magazines.

Karrie  Morales was born Ja nuary 6, 1986 , in San Luis Obispo, California.  Karrie  didn't become an artist, she was born an artist. Since the moment  Karrie  could hold a pencil she was drawing pictures,  from the start she had dreams and ambition of becoming a well known artist, all around the world. She studied the arts every year in school, growing up and took many classes but those classes limited her creativity. She had a vision of every project they gave her but unfortunately her teachers did not agree, unable to see outside of their box.  However, Karrie refused to give up on her dreams, so she kept pursuing art throughout her school years and kept on with her passion.
