-=| Apparel activity |=-
Wow! I feel so energized. I can still feel the excitement of my heart thumping very quickly. The fashion show was yesterday and it feels as if everything just started. It was a Friday where my contextual lesson was a beginning of a apparel activity. We were all sitted at the auditorium and we are being selected by the 2nd and 1st level students. I don't know if it is because I am sitted at the last row or am I really bad looking, but I was among the batch of "unselected". Since no one wants us, we have to attatch our selves among one of the available groups. I was quite lucky to get myself with the other classmates of mine, like Nelly, Brenna, Ben, Angelyn, Sheila and many others.
We went to the back alley of the school to start brainstorming under the theme retro and using old clothes and materials we intend to discard. I came up with the idea of using monochromic colours, from the idea of the monochrome TV. Then Brenna was thinking of using old uniforms, and Nelly thought that we should use a fairy tale or a famous novel as the spine to hold up our idea.
They planned to meet up on the next day, which was a Saturday to work the suits out. Damn! I had to go to church! Actually I was thinking to myself why do I want to go to church as there is no spiritual life in me, dazes in mid air when the pastor is talking, and does nothing after lunch? In fact the main motive of going to church is to have a fabulous lunch, "socialize" or should I say fellowship with the friends around and that is it. I feel that I should just go to school that sat afternoon and work the suit out.
Actually on Saturday itself I did not regret going to church, as I met Angeline. Yup! Angeline from primary school to secondary 3. That Angeline who went to wala wala college. I saw that girl and I was overjoyed, I did not expect to see her in Jurong and it was so coincidental that it was her last week in S'pore before she leaves for US again. It was a very quick 5min chat, but I guess it worths more then gold.
On Monday, I met up with Brenna as she is currently living in Sembawang. Anyways the first question she asked was what was my waist line. I told her that it was about 27 but all my pants are around 29-30... She wants me to be her model for her group. Man! She told me that all the guys who are slim are already taken, and I am the only one who can help her. She showed me a pair of tights and 'OMG!' I have to wear that around? Not knowing how the top looks like I was declining the request persistently.
When I finally got to see the top, it looks really flamboyant. It looks like those flamingo guys with lots of fluffy materials all over. Tried really hard to fit myself into the top, it felt really heavy and very hot. Jane, the group leader, came and looked at it for a while and she suggests that we should abandon this shirt and work another out. At this point of time I felt kind of happy, yet sad. Happy because luckily I did not come on Saturday, as all the efforts would have gone to waste. However at the same time, it could be my fault that the shirt turned out this way, as if I were there situation might just be better.
anyways we went to grab more materials from the room, and started to sew denim pockets together as patch work. We used a cut off sweater which looks like a caplet and sewed pockets in a formation of a trench coat. And it was the photoshoot day, the whole theme for us was a romeo and Juliet with a tinge of retro. And everyone was with real thick eye shadow and liners. The top was done last minute on a mannequin, when it came onto me it was really huge and lots of correction has to be done. So makeup was done on me while Brenna, Angelyn and Winston sews the top onto me. It was as if it was project run way in real life.
The most awkward situation was that I'm paired with Ayuni, and we are in the stage of where interaction was taking place. She had to be on the table and I was on the chair and a shoot of us looking at each other's eyes, that was the hardest. There were many times where we just bursted out laughing. The other scene was both of us standing by the tree with the touching of the hands thingy going on. We were talking with our lips in a smiley position like what actors and actresses always do in photoshoots.
Ayuni:"I'am so not going to let my parrents see me this way...I so need to blog this down, are u?"
Me:"Yeah I really need to get this jot down..."
The highlight was not just there, on Tuesday was the runway day. Going to school was a mad rush, waiting for my suit to arrive as the seams broke after the photo shoot. Run around to get the same hairdo and make up on, got my nails painted to get into the whole gothic theme. And it was exactly 3pm where the fashion show begins, our group was the first to walk down the run way, one of the lecturer was rushing us from the back. There was no practice for the walk, and everything went chaotic.
It was really fun but the removal of the makeup was the most difficult, they used the ultra long mascara on me as I have no lashes and it was waterproof. The eyeliner was scratched into my lids, but oh well everyone has to pay a price to get such treatment. It was very common for people to lose stuff on a fashion show, like one of the guys lost a scarf, i lost 5 bucks as I payed 10 bucks for a zinger meal which I could not eat because of the photoshoot. Oh well I just feel so happy after the runway, just like ever lasting adrenaline rushing through my veins.
