Perth Fashion Festival

The Perth Fashion festival. Where do I even start? I had really high expectations for this as the job description seemed very involved. But upon starting, I've been very very discouraged and dissappointed.

I worked on the Carillon show which was alright, dressing models. My model was Rosin and she was really really nice. First we had to tape shoes, which means we put tape on the soles of the shoes so that when the models wear them they won't scuff on the runway... and then these shoes go back to the retailer to get sold.

So what do models talk about backstage? Well yeah, they talk about food and ...not eating a lot of it. They talk about parties and clothes and shows and... I mean all very general girly talk. Most eat either Maccas or salad backstage. Not all of them are pretty, but most of them are super tall and tower over you and they all have pretty amazing legs!!!

I've also done the Wheels and Dollbaby show which was cool. The only nice thing about it was the decent looking evening gowns... ahhh I want one... or three XD! My models were Emily and Leticia... who weren't that nice... but bah... as if we have time to talk. Usually the models have less than a minute to change in their outfits after their run on the catwalk so it's a bit of a mad rush of clothes, boobs and shoes everywhere.

I'm supposed to be part of the production crew, but it seems that it's all been muddled up and there isn't a difference between backstage crew and production crew. They don't take attendance so they don't keep a record who devotes more time than others even though there is a roster and I don't think we even get recognition for it.

I went to the Telethon Celebrity Charity Parade, which was something that I was really looking forward to...but was the most dissappointing of all. Carol decided to rock up with me even though she wasn't rostered. All we did was just stand there! Ushering people... I mean literally stand there... it was a complete waste of time! Did I see any celebrities? haha... well I saw Chris Mainwaring, Bazil Zempilas and Allan Carpenter. All I could think of the whole time was to just go home after having only 4 hours sleep the whole day~!
At least we had a hearty dinner at the Moon Cafe afterwards which made up for it.

All in all, Perth Fashion Festival hasn't left a very good impression on me. I'm so dissappointed! Actually, I'm rostered on today to help out... but obviously I'm not there... because I pressume it's just going to be a waste of time anyway.
