Hi everyone, my name's Ava >> And my name's Alexis and
we are the McClure twins.
>> I'm their mom, Ami.
>> Today we are going to be reading our new book,
Make It Fashion written by Ava and Alexis McClure,
illustrated by Courtney Dawson.
Ava and Alexis are sisters.
And one day when they were just itty-bitty they discovered something really big.
We have the same face.
You look just like me.
Nuh you look just like me.
Yeah, Ava and Alexis discovered they were more than just sisters,
they were twins, identical twins.
This means there's a lot about them that's the same.
Same room, same friends, same way to eat the same favorite snacks.
They have a few toys that are different, but the same brother gets into them all.
Sameness is the thing, at least that's what Alexis and
Ava thought as they started planning their very first twin-tastic fashion show!
It's sort of a big deal.
>> They agreed on the theme, the guest list, and the music.
There was only one thing they didn't see quite the same, the outfit for the show.
Ava, who loves everything fancy, pulled out sparkly gemstones and poofy skirts.
While Alexis skimmed her closet for the perfect pants and sneakers.
She likes to keep it old school cool.
We should wear this for the fashion show, both sisters said,
holding up the different outfit choices.
We're twins, so see we have to match, said Ava.
You're being Bossy McBossy pants, teased Alexis.
I am not, I am being the oldest and younger sisters listen to the oldest.
The oldest?
Yes, the oldest.
I am exactly one minute older according to my precise
calculations, >> Alexis didn't want to wear fancy
outfits almost as much as she didn't want to be one minute younger.
Alexis and Ava started to worry.
They thought that twins had to like all the same things,
could twins be different from one another?
Was it possible for twins to be mismatched?
One thing Ava and Alexis did know was that they like to do everything side by side.
No matter what, they promised to strut together and
make it fashion, pinky promise.
Pinky promise everybody, pinky promise.
>> [LAUGH] >> That meant working as a team,
even if they didn't agree at first.
Since there was still a show to put on, the twins decided to set the stage.
Alexis drew pictures of the backdrop and
Ava used her eye for pizazz to create the runway.
Both sisters reserved seats for the special guests.
Ava and Alexis were having so much fun, they almost forgot they were different.
When there was nothing left to do but choose their outfits,
the sisters thought of an amazing idea.
>> I know.
>> They gave each other a fist bump and headed to their closets.
It's show time.
>> Show time.
>> It takes two to rip the runway.
You both know that?
It takes two to rip the runway.
The curtains open, Ava and Alexis sashay down the runway and the crowd went wild.
>> [NOISE] >> They mixed and matched poofy skirts and
parachute pants, bedazzled sparkly gemstones on hoodies, and
decorated baseball caps with flowers and bows.
To top it off, they wore glittery high top sneakers
>> The twins mix a little bit of Ava and
match a little bit of Alexis.
Creating a whole new, mismatched fancy old school style.
It was fabulously fantastic.
Ava and Alexis discovered twins can be the same and different.
Twins can mix and match.
At the end of the runway, they hooked fingers and
repeated the twinship pinky promise.
Stuck together and make it fashion.
Mom and Dad were so proud, being the same makes you two special,
but being different makes you, you.
>> Dance it out.
Dance it out.
Dance it out, Ava.
Dance it out.
Floss, now Lexi, dance it out, dance it out.
[LAUGH] Dance it out Lexi.
