Frill 2013: Fashion Show

I hope you're ready for a ton of pictures because on this post I'm not holding back.

Saturday evening was the day of the fashion show. I was a model for Lilly's indie brand, Clockwork Rose, along with 3 other girls from our community. I was really happy that I was offered the opportunity to do this because I really love her dresses and it was a great step for me on overcoming my anxiety.

We were called backstage at 5 pm and the fasion show was scheduled to start at 10. It sounds like a long time but there was a lot of models back there and everyone of them needed to get dressed, get their hair done, and have their make-up done. The time went by fairly quickly since I talked with Nova and Tyra.

I'm not sure what I'm so excited about here but it's amusing. At this point, other girls were still getting ready and since we were ready, we just stood around and took pictures. 

Here's my coord, excuse the picture quality of this one, I think it was taken with a phone.

JSK: Clockwork Rose's Twinkle Bat

Blouse: Lethe's Castle

Socks: Offbrand

Shoes: Bodyline (I think...)

Purse: Moi-Meme-Moitie

Accessories: necklace - Clockwork Rose; spikey headband -offbrand; hair bow - offbrand; bat wings ring - offbrand

One of our members (who now lives in another state) got to model too, I believe she's wearing a Belladonna dress. If you can't see it too well, it has jellyfish floating around in colorful clouds.

Around the time that everyone was done, we were put into a single-file line based on order of appearance for the show. I got a picture of the girls in front of me but it turned out pretty blurry so I won't be posting it, but here's what it looked like behind me.

We got called up on stage and somehow I managed not to panic during all this. I walked on the run away and did three poses, I wish I would have been a little more creative but I'll remember that for next year if I get the opportunity. I will say that I did stumble a bit because I was borrowing my friend's shows and her feet are slightly bigger than mine but I didn't make a scene about it, I carried on and hoped that no one caught it.

I'd love to post photos of my friends but I don't want to do it without their permission, so if I get an okay, I'll do so. All-in-all it was a lot of fun and I would definitely do it again. I do hope that next year they make the dance a little later so that models can participate in it. I know that while backstage I had heard an awesome 80s coverband and would've loved to have been out there taking pictures, dancing, and singing along.

After the fashion show, we headed back to our room to relax. Even though I had eaten backstage, I was starving and so were my roomies. Alex, Blaze, Jayne, and I walked to a bar a couple of blocks over called Taco Mac. The name threw me off, I really through that it would be a Tex-Mex place, but they offered so much more. We figured that we'd collect money from everyone and order something for everyone. I ended up ordering a reuben sandwich.While waiting for our food, I got hit on by some older guy at the bar and it made me feel really uncomfortable because he was touching me. I think my friend noticed and got my attention so that I could ignore the guy and he'd walk off.

Here we are enjoying our dinner at midnight.
