1. Back from Montreal. The show was phenomenal. All 11 minutes of it. I had 2 changes and saw a total of maybe 1 minute of actual time in front of the crowd. Now I loved every second of it, but just to give you some insight:
A 10 minute runway show is a function of: 6 hours driving to Montreal + 2 hours of hair and makeup + 2 hours of waiting backstage multiplied by the fact that call time in Toronto was 6 am. Throw in one stressed out designer and one bitchy publicist into the mix and you get 60 seconds of showtime.
2. This was my view from the makeup chair.
3. Every girls' dream.
4. Backstage.
The sweet part was the craft services table just off to the right of this photo. Since this was a world class fashion event NO ONE was touching it which meant more food for me.
5. Rehersal.
6. In conclusion, I am tired. Satisfied but tired. Montreal is a strange little place and I haven't decided if that is because it is lacking in character or if it exudes too much of it. I think there are photos floating around out there that were not taken with a dirty 1 megapixel phone camera. If I find them, I'll put them up.
7. Toronto Fashion Week starts Monday. Now THAT is fun.
