A Cut Above Hair Show

Okay lol. I have procrastinated enough, but I think its justifiable.

I was SOOOOO frickin tired, imagine being taped into a dress that you can't sit in or bend (Reasons will be obvious later.) 3 hours before the fashion show. My feet were burning by the end of the night and Evonne left her phone with a friend in Coco Banana when my car was parked at Forever 21. This is Sunway I'm talking about of course.

I sort of thought this was really bad. Until...

Until this happened... =/

I barely ate on that day, I ate in the morning, then I was back in the chair for a second round of re-braiding. The academy is super cold but I seem to be the only one feeling that way, I was wrapped up in my super large hoodie while the other models paraded around in tube tops and shorts.

At four Evonne went and tarpau-ed me this BBQ chicken lunch set, I only got through half of it when I had to go in for makeup. By the time I got back the food was freezing cold and I didn't have the mood to eat anymore.

My makeup was done by Dotcom. Check the hoodie out.

Evonne's makeup.

This girl is only 15 years old and already 171cm! But she's so terribly shy, the sweetest thing ever.

I managed to take photos with Winne Loo! But they're with Evonne because my camera ran out of battery halfway, when I was on the runway too! (Murphys Law) So I have no photos of me on the runway but there were millions of cameras so I expect them to surface somewhere.

Winnie Loo was behind me when they were teasing my hair but I didn't notice cause I couldn't turn my head. The teasing hurt so bad I sat there with tears running down my face, tissues attached to the corners of my eyes so I wouldn't ruin the makeup. She was really nice, she said to me "Wow, your hair looks really nice huh? Now you can go clubbing."

I think if I DID go my hair would REEK of smoke.

My lipstick was originally this light pink, but then the hair covered my eyes so they changed it to black so something would stand out on my face.

Me and Rico with our stylist Vincent.

They kept teasing it higher and higher and kept spraying more and more hairspray, I'm probably solely responsible for the ozone layers dissipation. They told Winnie my hair was 100% real and she was like "Wow, even bigger than Avant Garde hair do."

All the models lining up- So you know I'm not the only one with crazy hair.

More models.

Me and Evonne, her head extension is frickin' heavy and she had to lean againts the wall for support.

We were marched through Sunway Pyramid all the way to Republic Bar outdoors. People were standing around the mall taking photos of us, it was sooo funny to see their reaction to 54 models with the craziest hair wearing clothes made out of recycled material lined up in a row.

Even after the fashion show when I had the crazy hair but was dressed in normal clothes people kept coming up to me and taking pictures, this one little kid was so scared, I kept smiling like "Its okay, come here." wasn't till afterward when I smiled to myself in the mirror I realized I looked even more terrifying smiling. This one guy actually ran his fingers through my hair, and I was standing there like "What do you want?"

I'll promise to post photos of me on the runway once I get hold of them. The runway was pretty awesome. From inside Republic's dance floor area to the bar outside.

"I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend."

PS: Am freakishly hungry, going to find me some grub and I don't frickin' care that its almost 5 in the morning.

PPS: I was all high and happy with the gang but they've just left and suddenly its all quiet and I'm sitting here on the floor with the laptop on the sofa with nothing but my thoughts.
