Fashion Fantasy

The fashion show was fabulous! Everything went really well apart from a few minor mistakes. I was out on the Runway five times, three times modelling and twice with music performances.
My group was made up of myself, EveElla and Aimee. Thankfully our shop, "Born" had really nice clothes, so we got two outfits, one formal and one casual. My casual outfit was black jeans, a black tank top and a long black, white and grey fur jacket. My formal outfit was a knee-length form fitting maroon dress with gold chain detailing and cut-outs.

My other modelling job was for Ruth Doyle, a former student and current fashion designer. My group for this one was made up of myself, Anita (TYs), Lauren, Izzy (5th Years), Ailish and Roisin (6th Years). The dresses for this collection were either black or white and had black hair as details. They were not dresses you would wear out, but they were very fashionable.
    Our music acts unfortunately did not go as smoothly. On the first day, the sound check did not go to plan, and as a result the mics for our Bastille medley were too loud and the guitars were not able to be heard. In our Christmas Carols, the piano was too loud and the voices too quiet. On the second showing of our acts, the next day, all issues were smoothed out and each act went very well.

Overall the fashion show was a huge success and i hope we can do it again over years to come.

Busy Bees

Next week, our school is having a Fashion Show. Everybody is super busy trying to make sure everything goes to plan. I decided to take part in way too much stuff. I'm doing a music piece with a small choir, another music piece with some other TYs and modelling as well.

My group and I are going to get fitted on Monday in "Born" in Naas. Hopefully we get nice clothes to wear. 
We are continuously rehearsing for our TY Bastille Medley, and to be honest, I know it so well, its driving me insane. 
I am avoiding thinking about it because I'm scared something will go wrong and the whole world will crash and burn.
