Okay so I’ve just had the MOST random night.  Christina calls me today and asks me if I want to go see a fashion/modeling/stage show thing she’s modeling for at Plush Night Club. I told her I was down for it but later on in the night I became engaged in a fight with the boyfriend (we’ve kissed and made up…sort of) and was contemplating not going….but!  She called again and said one of the models was a no-show and asked if I wanted sub her! RANDOM! I’ve NEVER done any sort of modeling in my life before! I have had experience singing, dancing and performing on stage but never as something for people to just LOOK at! I’m short too – about 5′6″ – and being Asian I’ve found that the market out there doesn’t have much room for us… Don’t get me wrong though! Asian models are becoming more and more popular these days but we’re still not in as much demand as caucasian models, I would think.  Anyway!

When she offered…I took it! I definitely didn’t want to pass it up just because Ayden and I got into a massive fight.  Fuck that.  So…I told him I was going and by that time he’d already come around and stopped being the douche he is when we fight . So, we headed down there and got to the place around 10 pm and from there on I was immediately whisked away backstage to get my hair and make up down professionally.  I just wanna say that I’ve never experienced having multiple people fussing over me before like that!  It was like being plucked, prodded, poked and painted like an ornament.

The show took forever to start (it was supposed to start at 10:30 but didn’t start closer to 12 or 12:30, I forget) but once it did, it picked up quite a bit and we were done in 20 minutes? I guess fashion show/stage shows aren’t very long things…. The whole idea behind it was this celebrity/paparazzi thing where all the models walk on stage in groups of five and did a bunch of poses while a bunch of cameraman were acting as paparazzi. They took a crap load of photos of us and generally just buzzed around us the entire time clicking away.  Click click! We did that for a couple of sets before it all ended.

One thing that happened tonight that was even more random was when I bumped into an old highschool friend of mine! In actuality, the clothing line is actually owned by her boyfriend’s sister!  I know that sounds so far removed but it was pretty cool to bump into her there since I haven’t seen her in a really long time.  She was with the girls managing the show and got to sit on the VIP side of the stage (I guess you call it that).

But yah, it was fun and once the photographers release the photos….I’ll be sure to post some up!  As for now, I’ll post up some pictures Christina (who’s a published author now…at 19!!! SO PROUD! That’s how old we are… young’uns still) and I took while backstage getting our hair and make up down.  Some of them are pretty awesome since I’ve got old school hair rollers in and I look like a burlesque whore-y house wife from the 50s. LOL.
