I remember my daughter taking an interest in fashion in preschool, where she would definitively veto outfits I would suggest for her days filled with play and naps. Her likes and dislikes have only intensified, and most days, I simply give her outfit a quick glance to ensure it is appropriate for school. In some ways, she reminds me a little of Fancy Nancy, the young girl who’s stories have won over girls across the globe.
Fancy Nancy debuted in 2005, conceived by author Jane O’Connor and illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser. She is a girl with a larger than life personality who adores all things fancy. She dresses lavishly with boas, tutus, ruby slippers and fairy wings and uses words like iridescent, ecstatic, and extraordinary. While you’ll often find Nancy captivated by glitter, she always discovers what really matters.
Inspired by Fancy Nancy’s affinity for tutus and dance, Glasser will hold two High Tea Parties to support the Segerstrom Center for the Arts’ School of Dance and Music for Children with Disabilities. During the Fancy Nancy Tea Party, guests will enjoy English tea and treats, crafts and face painting, a posh dress-up trunk, a photo booth, interactive playtime activities and etiquette games. Guests will also enjoy a tour of her art studio where she creates Fancy Nancy and her private Fancy Nancy Museum. Jillian Batt, who stars in Fancy Nancy the Musical will also perform songs from the show. This tea party/fundraiser will take place on June 3rd and 4th, 2017 from 11 am to 1:30 pm at Glasser’s home in San Juan Capistrano.
