Last weekend the Immigrant community in Queen City was in fear for their freedom and safety.

I had planned to not post this week. Things here in Charlotte were very dark.

However, Dominican born designer Melanie Caballero, along with Charlotte Seen and Dillards at Southpark Mall hosted a Princess Tea Party and Fashion Show.

What better way to honor our Latino community.

I’ve long been a fan of Melanie’s intricate, vintage inspired pieces.

After the tea party, Melanie presented us with her rendition of well known Princesses!

After the show the little princesses got to meet and greet their favorite big princess!

We had Cinderella, Elsa, Glinda, Belle, Ariel, Tiana, Rapunzel, Jasmine and Pocahontas as well as the villainous sea witch Ursula.

For a couple of hours, we forgot about the outside world.

No matter our nationality, we all came together and we were all Pretty Princesses/ Linda Princesas.
