The Cerritos College Cosmetology Department is presenting the first “Animalistic” show at 7 p.m. located in the Student Center on May 9.

The fashion show will present 63 groups of students from the Cosmetology Department, and will express their “animalistic” sense of style on the runway.

Assistant professor Nina Motruk explained that the department has been presenting fashion shows for 22 years since she has been in Cerritos and added that it is the first time it will have the audience judge the show.

She also explained that in the beginning the department decided to have “Animalistic” located at the Teleconference Center, but was not able to have it there and decided to perform the show in the Student Center.

Motruk also added, “Some students are really anxious, but then we have other students that are really nervous.”

She also explained that it will be a good chance for cosmetology students to express and show their fashion skills to the audience, and added that the winner would win cash prizes to buy beauty supplies.

Mary Duchscherer, cosmetology major, explained that the department has been preparing for this fashion show since the beginning of the semester and also added that it is the first time the Cosmetology Department will have an animal theme.

“I am a little nervous but I think everything will go well for us.”

Cosmetology major Amanda Dollinger, one of the students from the groups that are going to present their works of fashion, explains that her team has been getting ready for this show for some time.

Dollinger explains that the show will be presenting some animals such as peacocks, leopards, jellyfish and other animals.

Presale tickets will be $5 and $7 at the door.
