Fashion Show for Foi's

Fashion Show for Foi's
Whee~ I got the Fashion Show for Foi's design!!! The show's set on this coming Thurs, 9 Nov, 6 to 630pm, at Centrepoint Atrium.

I'm so relieved bcos I 'waited' for 4 hours to have myself casted the designer, and apparently when I told my agency that I would be late for the casting and fitting because my War and Society tutorial was scheduled to end at 4pm, after the assigned 3pm casting slot for models from my agency.
And I'm very very Happy bcos I love their designs, love their clothes. They're all so feminine, and flirty, with flowy, bright coloured materials; and their intricate signature beadwork, which usually form the halter strap. It's all very very pretty and I feel so happy to be able to model for them. The last time I auditioned for their fashion show, I was still a new model, and I hadn't had any trainings yet. All was well when she inspected my face, my height and my figure, until I had to do a catwalk for her. but I got it this time... Whee~~~~~~
But there's a catch. Just when I was leaving, the designer asked me...(pointing to my black heels)
"Are these going to be your catwalk shoes?"
"Yeap"
"Don't you have higher heels?"
"Yea but they're not black"
"You better go and try to find a 4" or 5" heels, if not you'll look terribly short beside the Caucasian models."
::DANG!::

Sian... not only did I not know she's hiring a mix of models from a few agencies instead of just from mine, I also need higher heels to make up for that Asian-Caucasian height inequality. i won't know anyone there and I'll have no one to talk to and I have to report like 3 hours before for make up and rehearsal. Rehearsal at the Centrepoint Atrium (I think) can?! Sian... which means either I have to buy a pair from ALdo or Americaya or Nine West which will probably eat up a large portion of my pay check for that event, or I'll have to ask around for a 4" size 7/8 black heels. preferably size 8. And I would have to settle all of it before this coming thurs. It's insane to spend so much for a 30 minutes show.
WHY are there no cheapo Singapore shoe shop that sells cheapo 4" heels??? Sigh~ I mean instead of selling all those plasticky looking jewelled slippers they can just sell some real heels for once. Even my current heels are bought from Chatuchuk or Malaysia.

Despite all, I'm still pretty happy to get to model for Foi's clothes, that I even asked my mom if she wanted to come and watch the show. haha
