Listening to: She's so high by Tal bachan

Once, a long time ago(actually not that long)... I had a secret fantasy of wanting to be a model. Yeah I know. Like that's ever gonna happen thanks to my 'shortie-chronosomes' but hey a girl can dream. But ah well.

No words can describe The Motorola Black Fashion Show. It was all that I had expected and even more. From 11.30am all the way to late at night, it was nonstop fussying bout. Four brands that were represented: Hansel, Nicholas, Mizu and Baylene; and they had some of the sleekiest cuttings and designs as far as haute couture goes. (I later found out that some of the outfits I had been 'manhandling' cost more that $300!! *faints*)
But of course, the prices weren't the only things that sent my poor ol' heart palpitating like a bloody jack-hammer.

Being the noob that I was, I had no idea what the job scope of a dresser consisted. So when Joanna and Katya (the two towering, exquisite models that I was in charge of) just stripped to their birthday suits, I was the epitome of a bumbling idiot. Literally la.

I mean, come on! Gorgeous babes with boobs the size of my head, thrusting themselves infront of me to be changed at the speed of light. And I'm a GIRL. I really wonder how those male professional dressers handle it. *takes hat off and salute*
But after a while, I got pretty used to it. Tho I was really lousy at kept screwing up (I wore Joanna's pants the wrong side for her; Katya's necklace got entangled in her hair! Cringes with utmost embarrassment.) And it was a crazyass success at the end..definitely worth all the trouble. :)

Plus, my baby specially came down to see me. so sweet...i love u darhling. The Mac dinner and long walk around nowhere in particular was really a romantic way to end the fantastic day. lol!

Not to mention I made a few cool frens like Sarah from TP Design and Drew from well..i dunno. :P There was even this guy, I SWEAR, who was like J. Alexander from AMerica's Next Top Model? He was also a professional trainer for catwalking, and man, did he make those black bejeweled heels work! ANd..this bloody tall Caucasian male model who kept pretending he couldnt see us cos he was like 1.9m tall?! lol...I threatened to cut 'his' with my scissors.

I even pestered Drew to get me one of their Bobbi Brown goody bags! I love goody bags. ^^

Phew. Three down and jus 1 more to go. JNB was a nerve-wrecker today and I'm more than relieved its over. Then its ang-pow collecting, spa, manicures, shopping spree and making-out galore.

Who needs love?
