Sneaking in to Fashion Cares

Sandee and I always wanted to go to Fashion Cares, but it’s always been too expensive for us, so we came up with a plan: we’d dress up all crazy, act like models out for a smoke break, and go in through the back.

She talked me into wearing the tragic tornado dress and then talked up the security guard, saying that it was “the dress of the season” and shown on so many TV shows that it had to be in Fashion Cares. So it wasn’t really a lie…we just told him a story and he believed that we were supposed to be in the show. It totally worked! We’re brilliant!

Being backstage was so cool! I couldn’t believe how much work went into the hair, makeup, and clothes. Fashion Cares is the best thing ever! Best Makeup, best Hair, best Designers, best Singers, best Dancers…wow! Just wow! I’ve never seen a fashion show like it.  I’d love to participate someday - so many amazing designers contributed.

The only bad thing was when a crazy PR-chick started accusing me of stealing her drink. I had no idea what she was talking about, so I just tried to ignore her. Bad move. That just made her crazier! When I tried to get away, she grabbed someone else’s drink and dumped it on my shoes! Now I have Coke all over my favourite pair of 90’s vintage platforms. Pouring Coke on a great pair of shoes is totally unforgivable! I don’t know what I’ll do if I run into her again.

    Do twenty-somethings really consider things from the 90’s as “vintage”?

    Mind you, “vintage” does sound better than “old”. (Or maybe I’m the one who is getting old.)

    Personally, I go with the twenty year rule - so, anything made on or before 1988 is considered vintage. (To me anyway…)
