i woke up feeling nervous.  in less than 4 hours, i will be at the coveted place.  in less than 8 hours, the ‘party’ will start.

it’ll be my first time on stage in a room full of people. and this is definitely my first time performing a fashion parade, in the presence of loved ones and friends!  hee…

but i’m going to heed their advice and just be up there and have fun. and it definitely spells fun with the rest of the gorgeous peeps and the female gang.

herewith, i will like to thank the female team (madeline, dee, verna and many more names i can’t recall), for making this happen/ making me look great later.

i will like to thank the sponsors for sponsoring this event. because of this event, i get to know more about the sponsors. (do you know that the new subaru legacy has its engine horizontally thus providing better balance resulting in a responsive and stable drive? do you know that anna sui is not only a make-up brand, they are a fashion and perfume brand too? although bebe sounds like your french ‘baby’, the founder is an iranian and it is an american clothing line? that canon’s company milestone includes reconstruction of an egyptian mummy believed to be queen nefertiti in year 2003 by the world’s first portable x-ray digital system? that ted baker, a british retailer, got around with words of mouth rather than the conventional advertising?)

and there’s many more interesting finds.

all these fashion brands were clueless to mere mortals (read: fashionably challenged) people like myself. and its good to learn more about the known names. now i know why my friends insisted on driving only a subaru (its safety features plays a huge role) and only have pictures taken with their canon (they always cite this; ‘canon pictures turn out better’).

and this competition is definitely an eye-opener for me. there’s a lot of work done behind all those glamour. i’ve seen the female team working on a weekend (the preview in ION orchard last month). i’ve seen their stylist cracking heads, trying to come out with alternatives to make mere mortals like myself look like a model. i’ve seen the event coordinators trying not to get frustrated when things go wrong, and find quick fixes fast.

so who says glamour is all about being glamourous? there’s definitely lots of hardwork and creative decisions being made behind those close doors.

and contrary to popular notions that gorgeous people are a bunch of air-heads, well, they’re not. i would have known, cause i’m privileged to be in the company of gorgeous people last month and will be joining them again later this afternoon.

they’re friendly, they’re genial people and they’re definitely not airheads. hee…

thanks to all those people who have voted me and take time to read this blog of mine.

i will miss blogging here.

til then.

adieu.

love lots,

lili.
