In the car, I let out a big sigh. “Can you believe this guy? He-he doesn’t know anything. How did he survive all of this? Argh!” Saying this to myself, my phone ranged. “Hello?”
“Nam, how are things?” said the voice.
“I’m good. Where are you?” I replied as I put the phone on speaker.
“I in town, and was wondering if you can help me out.”
“Help you? With what? Wait, how did you know I was back?”
“Oh, I called Apsorn, and she told me. Anyway, I’m doing a show tonight at 6 and would really need your help. We originally planned to have a famous model come do the finale, however they canceled on us this morning. Would you help me?”
“Where is the place? Cause I’m my way to help at a fashion show at the King’s Hotel right now and it also starts at 6,” I told my friend.
“Ah!!! Really? Girl, that’s where my fashion is at.”
“Wait. I-I’m so lost. They didn’t mention-,” I was cut off by my friend.
“Anyways, I’ll see you soon then,” and like that, she hanged up the phone.
Another sigh left my mouth. As the location neared I tried my best to not freak out. The friend that I was talking to earlier was a friend of mine since college. She was really into fashion, hence made her career that way. I parked my car, gotten out at a person ran over to me and gave me a bear-hug.
“Nam!” screamed Joy.
“Joy!” I screamed back at her.
We chit chat for a bit and made our way inside the hotel. We made our way to the dressing room, and Joy was explaining the entire theme, to the layout to the design. The tiniest details, and how she wanted me to stand and pose.
The theme for the event is black. All the attire is black, beside the jewelry. There were many different shades, styles and cuts.
As the time draws near we are all fitted into our dress and do one last run through, I suddenly received a call from Chai Panit.
“Where are you?” were the first thing he said to me when I answered his call.
“I’m inside the venue already. I’ll come and see you when the event is over,” and I hung up the phone on him. ‘Who does he thing he is?’ I said to myself after the call.
“Who are you talking to Nam? They show is starting,” said Joy as she gathers all of the models together. “I know that this is the first time I am working with you all, nevertheless, I expect you all to go out there and strut like you normally do!” The models all cheered and lined up in their order.
The dress that I will be wearing as the closer of the show is a black sweet-heart cut chiffon gown. Tying this simple dress together is the main diamond set borrowed by Jetatikarn Jewelers. The set is an emerald base diamond surrounded by 26 medium sized round cut diamonds. Other than the necklace, the bracelet is a simple bangle that has an emerald centered diamond. Matching the bangle bracelet, the earring is a pair of simple dangled emerald, that reaches the wearer’s shoulders.
As I wait for my turn, I do a few last minute make up, wardrobe check. A few minutes after I did so, I was motioned that my turn was up next. ‘Honestly though, most people would say that modeling is a tiring job, but if you enjoy this work, then after all, it isn’t that bad.’ I thought to myself, as I walk onto the stage.
‘Walk here, stop, pose. Walk there, stop, pose. Hand goes here. Turn this way then this side. Remember the gaze. Okay, now spin while holding on the dress. Twirl a little. Now, show the backside. Pose again. Walking, walking. Final pose here then gaze left, right. Alright, you did fairly well,’ I thought to myself while I was on the runway. While I exit the runway, Joy runs up to me and congratulate me on the show.
“Great! Thank you everyone! Let’s get you changed for the after party!” Joy yelled. Therefore, we were all getting changed for the party.
