London Fashion Week

It's Saturday night and I have seen four fashion shows at the Off-schedule venue where I am writing. If you've been checking the blog (see post below for address) then you know I've only reviewed one of these shows. I reviewed the Horace show (to make your searching easier). It was quite interesting to try to give my opinion on something that is so far from my personal fashion realm. I think I did a pretty good job however.

So far its been a lot of fun...but it is true what other industry people have told me...going to fashion shows only looks glamorous...in reality there's a lot of haning around, shuffling from place to place and waiting for shows that NEVER start on time...
Those who really know me, know I am NEVER on time for anything. This is truly the industry I belong in; where do you think they coined the term "fashionably late." I'm not the only one!!

I saw some nice looking male models today...one perk of the job...don't worry Paul, you're the only model I want! The female models are all too tall, too thin and have zero expression. It is very entertaining to watch them strut the catwalk in some very comprimising clothes and shoes. Not all the designers are modest and these girls just have let it all hang out for hundreds of people! I couldn't imagine being on display like that. Some of the designers have had INSANE shoes and these poor girls have such a hard time walking in them. The hair and makeup is not always pleasant either I would hate to be sprayed down and caked up only to have to run to another show, take it all off and get made up again. Who would ever want to do this?? I guess they get paid enough to take the abuse.

All in all, I love the surroundings and the busy-ness if it all. I really feel like this is what I should be doing with my life and career. I know I'm headed in the right direction. It will only be a few years now until I'm sitting in the front row instead of standing in the back!
