Howard Fashion Show Pictures

Howard University Homecomming Fashion Show 2008 Semi-Recap

It was soooo much fun! First runway show and it was out of hand! Above is the first pass, I'm wearing Betsey Johnson. As you can see, my sweet ass orange hair. Yes. Sorry I haven't posted earlier, but mom came out for the show and I've been busy hanging with her. I just had to drop a quick post on how seamless the show went. I will definitely post more later, I have more great pictures of backstage and celebrities! The show was filmed so nicely, but it hasn't been posted on the net yet. My mom shot some video on her camera, I'll try to upload that soon if the video isn't posted. But there is so much more to talk about, America's Next Top Models in the show, the celebrities that were there, so much more to say, so check back in a couple days!! ;) Until then, viva to my first runway show!

Runway Update #5

Last night we had a fitting for the girls in the 3rd pass. It was, of course, tons of fun trying on all the vintage dresses. I felt like we were all getting ready for prom. Took my camera with me, thought I'd give a little sneak peak. ;) Aren't the girls beautiful?! Everyone thought I looked like Barbie... I'm not sure I'd go that far, but it's always fun wearing a hot pink dress with sequins.

Runway Update #4

= Me @ The Runway Show

Today is the beginning of full rehearsals with every one's mandatory attendance. With six practices left, and a dress rehearsal we're getting down to it. The second show is already sold out, so the anticipation is growing. Today, all of the girls had our hair consultations. We will all have brightly colored hair, some girls will get extensions, some will get wigs, it's going to be hot. I will have a "trapeze" bun with orange bangs. Kind of a mix of the two pictures. I googled 'orange hair' thinking it would be hard to find a picture of, and came across this website with a shit ton of people with orange hair, crazy. Orange bangs and a trapeze bun. I guess is going to be like the top picture. Messy buns are pretty hot right now on the runway, seen in Lanvin, Bottega Veneta and Versace shows. I have pretty long hair, but it's going to be a fake bun and fake orange hair sewn into mine. Can't wait to see it, stay tuned to see the results!

Howard Runway Update #3

On Friday all of us girls in the first pass met up at Betsey Johnson for our fitting. It was sooo much fun! Trying on all the mini party dresses, it was every little girls dream. This is a really exciting event, because Ms. Betsey Johnson has never lent her clothes out for a school runway show, so it is a true honor! The above is not the dress I will be wearing, but it is close ;) It's going to be a really fun pass with fluffy strapless minis, and stripper heels. The contradiction is cute and sexy hopefully true to fashion icon herself.

Runway Update #2

Wow, one month until the show! Practice almost everyday it seems like we're becoming a little class, or team. People are molding their own signature walks, friendships are being made. It will be interesting to see were we are as friends at the end of this. Right now they are really trying to get the best out of everyone in each pass, pushing people to give it their all. We are just going through the passes now that they are all cast and placing people in their definite order. Putting people that are in the next pass at the front and people who are not at the back. I'm wondering since I'm in a couple back to back scenes if we will be ripping our clothes off back stage in front of the guys. Um, I hope not...Four weeks until the show!! My favorite scene so far is the punk rock one for sure. Rock music, punk attitudes and what I do at the end of the runway will be a show stopper. Stay tuned!

Runway Update #1

Well, all week we have been auditioning for each of the seven passes. We just got results, drum roll please......I'm in four out of the seven passes. Nice. The only bad part is that scene
1,3,7 practice Tue/Thur and 2,4,6 practice Mon/Wed. That means is I have practice Monday-Thursday. Who would have thought a college runway show would be so time consuming?! But they're not messing around, this is going to be the hottest production in DC this year!
