2013 Ropa Style and Talent Show

Ropa Usada means used clothing in Spanish and many of the residents  go to these South Texas thrift stores where they find discarded clothing for pennies on the pound. All of the entries below were discarded by someone and rescued by the folks of Magnolia. This event is one of the most popular of our season.
