a real-life, fall/winter-collection fashion show.
in the afternoon, i learnt that my CDS for next semester is 20th Century Fashion. right after that, i got a call to go down to Vivocity from Wisma to work at the fashion show. i dont know how come it became that MUCH of a coincidence, but whatever it was, it was definitely a HUGE opportunity for me to experience what a real life fashion show would be like. and even though i was pissed to go down to Vivo at first(i was supposed to end work at 5, but got told to go down there at 4 for overtime. you all know how i hate travelling and last minute changes), the moment i realised i was involved with the fashion show, i felt a certain sense of excitement.
it took me a while to soak everything in, and then i realised, I'M ACTUALLY AT A FASHION SHOW! not just watching, BUT WORKING at one. it felt like i was in Project Runway. and America's Next Top Model. the models were so tall and lanky, i'm pretty sure all 5 of them wore a size 0. i thought they were too thin, but one thing's for sure: they were GORGEOUS. when i stood next to one of them backstage, i knew i was born a midget.
ok, fine, i knew that all along. it just felt better to be called a "midget" when compared next to a model, rather than an average singaporean. still, i'm not saying "midget"'s a very nice thing to call someone...
i-am-a-midget.
drama in between. this lady fainted halfway during the show and this caucasian knight in shining armour came out and carried her out of the shop. what a lovely man. sigh.
so overall the fashion show was a success. sales were definitely HIGH. i'm shagged as hell, and there's still work tomorrow, but it's my last day anyway so it's okay. my feet are aching, i'm under the weather, i just had dinner at 10, and my back hurts.
but it was a fantabulous experience.
plus i'm $24 richer.
p.s.: it's also the first time i've ever worn mascara and my eyelashes are falling off. yay!

ah!
i've seen 2 modelling shows. one was for wedding gowns (when i was working with cousin for you-know-what) but i saw peeks only when the huge door opened. rah.
the other was the brief one for swarvoski which was hardly the case since HE wanted to drag me away.
erm, bottom line is, I SO WANNA GO TO A FASHION SHOW. CLOSE ANYWAY. like sit down and watch or work. hell, i'd work. man you must've been like in the scenes of The Hills!
i-know-what.
it did feel a bit like the hills! if only they were strutting fown MY designs. that's it. that would be the ultimate.
i would've died and gone to heaven.
