  Focal Point
  
• Fashion Display - Dress a mannequin for display. If you can't get one to use, just use a couple hall trees and hang the clothes on hangers. Add a hat and some bold accessories.
• Table Top Display - Make a display using lots of fashion accessory items. If you can get a wig form to add in to display a wig on, that would be a great addition. Type out your theme verse and place it in a frame within the display.
