Wendy's World: April 2011

We recently had our first (hopefully annual) Casa's Got Talent, and it was AMAZING!!!! Many of the residents participated and they just make me laugh and are so talented on many different levels. We had the residents sign up for different acts and encouraged them to go and support each other. Javi drew a background on a flat sheet that looked like red curtains, lights, stage, and microphone, and then the residents painted it in. It looked phenomenal and you will see it in many of the upcoming pictures. Javi, Hasti, and I were judges. Javi was all thugtastic, Hasti was a London Dame, and I played up my TX accent and was completely ridiculous. The majority of this post will be told in pictures cause they can tell a story much better then I can.

In the very back of this pic you can see Me (Wendy Sue from small town, TX) Dame Hasti, and Thug Javi

BL & LB were up first, they stumbled a little on word but smiled the whole way!

TR was up next paying tribute to her favorite artist Lady Gaga, she even had her make-up done.

MT did an interpretive dance, it was beautiful.

KCu had a song by Faith Hill all prepared but then the CD would not play and like a trooper she changed it up and did a song by Celine Dion instead.

SN could not make up her mind who she wanted to sing, the day started with her wanting to sing Brittany, but by her turn she had changed to Back Street Boys.

We had a visitor at CDA during the Talent show and she jumped right in and did her "Cat walk" for us. It was histerical and involved a lot hands on her her hips and hair twirling... models should take a lesson from her, fashion shows would be vastly more entertaining.

AT did a song by Kenny Rodgers, I pretty sure I was the only other person in the room who even knew who Kenny was.

JS did a beautiful acupella Columbian song that was intense and from his heart.

He was very passinate about it! :)

BL sang 3 Times a Lady directly to his girlfriend and it was the sweetest thing to see her sing it right back to him.

RG came in a little late and did a histeriacal impromtu stand up routine, filled with long pauses so he could think up the next joke. I laughed so hard I couldn't breath.

LB got up and sang another song, she got a little lost but gave it her all.

RS ended this night belting out "Brand New Day" everyone sang along because she rehersed the song about 500 times in the days leading up to the event! :)
