Behind The Seams

On Thursday there was a fashion show at Entertainment Solutions in Rookwood co-sponsored by CiN.

We girls at the office got it in our minds to attend, and of course that meant dragging our boyfriends along. (Hey, drinks and appetizers included with price of admission. What's not to love?)

And though at first I thought the location was suspect (Entertainment Solutions is a kind of posh TV store) it turned out to be the perfect place for a fashion show and miggling. Mainly because it's set up like a dozen little living rooms, only with nice furniture and plasma TVs. It was like being at a friend's house, if you have the type of friends who have giant leather coaches, monoghany entertainment centers and giant TVs. (Obviously no one I know, but you get the idea.)

My favorite Right Said Fred "I'm A Model" moment came from one of the male models, who strode down the "runway" (that'd be the main floor of ES) and upon coming to the end stuck his thumbs in the pockets of his stovepipe jeans, thrust his hips out, shifted his weight from side-to-side a few times and then scowled at everyone.

It was awesomely ridiculous, and, needless to say, we laughed uproariously. I had taken along the staff video camera for such prized moments, but somehow in all the footage I was editing, I lost him and was too sick of it by then to hunt him down. So he's not the video I made, but there are some other "hightlights," including some of my coworkers (for example, Julie here in the photo) doing their best catwalk.

Other "walk-offs" include The Tall Drink of Water, Melissa (Shana's sister), Sue, and Ronson performing what he called "Blue Indifference," where he struts, shrugs his shoulders and then walks away.

There's a model collision at the end too, which is delightful. I'd recommend watching it several times to fully appreciate the annoyance of the model who got crashed in to.
