Saturdays are usually busy days around Solar Kitchen. People are rushing to get their weekend shopping at PTDC, or a quick coffee at La Terrace, or finding a new item at Freestore. On Saturday, 14th of September that was not possible as Freestore was closed for the public. Inside, kids and adults, organized by Nadia and her team, were getting ready for this year's Freestore Fashion Show and dressing up in the wildest creations. To the sound of African drummers, the doors finally opened and models of all ages, sexes and sizes posed, waved and smiled as they modelled costumes made up of materials from the Freestore. The costumes ranged from pretty princesses, weird monsters and devils to women's fashion, with some courageous dads fooling around with wigs and handbags. It was great fun and should definitely become an annual event.
