Blogger turned Model for Charity, cont'd.

So, the fashion show was... interesting. Here is something else I wrote for the Free Press, in preparation. Laura was nice enough to give me a ride, and upon our arrival at Pulse (which is on the Cinemagic side of the brook, btw) we were greeted by an enthusiastic 13 year old with pink hair and Converse All Star knee-high boots. We were told via email that 'check in' for models and designers was between 4-4:30. At 4:27, they were still setting up, and Pink Hair told us that the check in person wasn't there yet, but we could just, you know, put our stuff down and hang out. For the record, the one job of the check in person is to check people in.

From there, we basically spent the next three (no joke) hours hanging out, watching girls get their hair done and change into the outfits they were going to model. At one point, Ashley showed up and said she was there to volunteer. Her volunteer duties included arriving, being told to stand around until someone found a job for her. Apparently, after the check in person showed up, all of the jobs were taken because Ashley, Laura and I had a lot of time to check out (ahem, critique) all of the hair, makeup, and fashion unfolding around us. Lucky for me, Laura and Ashley are probably some of the most stylish people I've ever had the fortune to spend time with, and their company was probably the highlight of the evening for me.

Here's a video. If you fast forward to 6:44, that's when I come out.  



But if you want a sense of what it was really like, look at this:

These were my fellow models- just realizing now how much bigger my boobs look in comparison...

 
Oh, and here's another little tidbit of criticism/advice. If you're running a silent auction, and offering tickets to events, it's helpful if you put the day, time, location and actual ticket price in the item description. Also, if you're at such an event, bored and drinking wine, it's only going to be funny to bid on an item if you don't win it. Even less funny would be if the silent auction price was more than the student discount price, and if the show was on a day your boyfriend, the only person you could possibly coerce into going with you, is going to be out of town... guess how I know...

Also, here are some Music Seens that I've written lately: J. Biddy, Astronautalis, The Toughcats and some local indie rock.
