Weekend O’ Fun – Day 2: Fashion Show
May 3, 2008
I woke up in the same position I fell asleep in last night… I’m pretty sure I was exhausted. And guess what? I’m still tired and now I’m a bit extra crispy across my face (my scalp!) and hands but today was a fun time.
It started early, packing the swag bags into 4 cars and driving to them fashion show location. I set up the swag bags and sat around protected the swag from pirates for about 5 hours, just in time for me to be the muscle with the crowd. It just kills me that people complain after they’ve been given free stuff. “My bag didn’t have as many items as her’s”; “I got plain water instead of flavored water”; “She got 2 lip glosses”; or “This item to too big/small — will you give me a different one?”. Ingrates.
MoFash ‘08 as it’s been known, went well… with L modeling. MoFash? What in the world does that mean? I didn’t come up with this moniker because, well, because it’s sounds a little too much like something else and if you’re just going to say the shortened version you might as well just say the real words, but I digress. MoFash stood for MODEST FASHION. In case you haven’t picked up Vogue lately, there is a lack of non see-through tops on the market (or something like that). This show was reaching out to the market of women who wish to be in style but not look like whores. I actually think it’s a good idea and only snorted at a handful of outfits. Check the photos below… the clothes were attractive and stylish.
I also met some folks at MoFash, did some decent flirting and met a former Laker who now plays for the Timber Wolves (he’s single, by the way). All in all, a fine day.

>>Last night she even suggested L not model because she thinks L has low self-esteem and that would just reflect badly at the show.<<
This sounds like pure sour grapes! The clothes look good on her, and that’s all that really counts.

Looks like you had a pretty decent turn out. L looks awsome by the way!

I’ll agree, L looked great and did a fabulous job. She was the only non professional model and you couldn’t tell at all. Sour grapes from the crabby one, indeed!

You met Mark Madsen. He was my AP for a while on my mission. Great guy! Go for it. Seriously.

I knew there was a connection with you! I thought he was Tall Ann’s brother but now I remember that he was your AP. I probably won’t see him again and even if I did, he’s a hot ticket item. Don’t feel like putting up with girl’s stealing my wind, vying for the attention of an NBA player. Of course if YOU contacted him and chatted on my behalf, I would have no problem with that.

Those horrible comments by your roommate are just unforgivable! She’s hideous! I’m totally surprised neither of you have accidentally smothered her with a pillow while sleepwalking.
As for the fashion and not wanting to look like a whore, you should try dressing my 10-year old. It’s almost impossible.

My bro counted…about 500, he said.
