It's very accurate. 35 00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:09,730 She did a beautiful job and the back is even cooler than the 36 00:02:09,796 --> 00:02:12,499 front, so I hope she's here to walk in the fashion show on 37 00:02:12,566 --> 00:02:14,568 Saturday morning. >> And tell us about that 38 00:02:14,635 --> 00:02:18,305 fashion show. the presentation stage here at 39 00:02:18,372 --> 00:02:23,610 the Alliant Energy Center in Madison at 1015 on Saturday 40 00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:27,814 morning.
