Today was the Chanel runway show that I was walking in, and the show Luke would be at.
Yesterday we had the practice run for the show and I found out I was opening the show. I love runway shows, the 2nd runway show I ever did was when I decided to go into modeling professionally, the best decision I ever made.
The feeling you get when you strut down the runway, the power you hold, when all eyes are focused on you and only you, everyone looks at you with admiration, when your hips move side to side and you reach the end of the runway, and all cameras are pointed at you. But opening the show is even better. It sets the whole tone for the rest of the show, the crowd is waiting in anticipation wondering what the first outfit of the night is going to look like and who's going to be wearing it.
Me and Bailey had arrived at the runway show's location, the location was made to look like a beach, sand scattered on the walkway, water on the sides of the runway made to look like subtle waves, and a fake backdrop of the sun and the ocean.
Me and Bailey went backstage, said our hellos to everyone. Then I went to go get my hair and makeup done, while Bailey went to help anyone who was having problems with their clothes.
------------
It had been an hour and my makeup and hair was done, my makeup was a simple eye look with a bright pink matte lip, and my hair was in a half up - half down with a few front pieces framing my face.
I was now in a dressing room putting my first outfit on for the night, it was a white cropped dress shirt with large black buttons and the letters Chanel written on the front two pockets of the shirt, and the pants were plain black but it was paired with a gold chain belt with Chanel written on the belt in bold letters, the only jewelry I was wearing were gold earrings that also had the letters Chanel designed on them, and I wasn't wearing any shoes because no one wears high heels on the beach.
Once I exited the dressing room, people were waiting outside to make any last minute adjustments to my outfit, makeup or clothes. "Excuse me, can I please have everyone's attention? I would like to introduce everyone to our VIP guest, Luke D'Angelo." Everyone turned around to where I assume Luke was standing, and started to clap. I don't think they realise they're applauding a self absorbed prick.
Sometimes they bring the 'VIP' guest backstage, so they can get the first look of the outfits before the audience.
Luke introduced himself and gave a big speech about how he was excited to be here, and how everyone looked amazing in their outfits, all the normal, boring shit 'VIP' guests say. After he finished his very entertaining speech, everyone went back to what they were doing, I finished getting the bottom of my pants hemmed and then I was ready for the show, but I still had half an hour until the show actually started so I sat in one of the makeup chairs being careful not to crease the clothes and went on my phone to pass time, you could hear the faint chattering of the crowd outside trying to find their seats before the show started.
