Fashion pasyon

Spent the entire morning at PV Mall and Desert Ridge Marketplace and, SURPRISE, SURPISE...I still couldn't find anything for tonight's party!!! I regret not going to the gym --- I forgot how frustrating clothes-shopping can be...
I ended up calling Jule at around 3 p.m., when I started getting desperate. She suggested I dress up a la Lois Lane!! The concept was really cute but NO WAY would I be able to pull that off! Ain't got no L.A. attiCHOOD.
Besides, I was also worried the idea of a non-32-22-32 leading lady might scare Clark Kent out of Superman-hood.
Finally, I gave up on the clothes and instead ended up buying a pair of metallic pink open-toed shoes, which according to a friend is "so00000 not Fall." Superheroes in mind, I told her: "bahala na si Batman."
After doing my rounds of the stores, I went home - tired and frustrated and ended up wearing a skirt and top that have been sitting in my cabinet for months (years, even). And if someone at the show asks, I'd say "OH THIS, IT'S VINTAGE!" (courtesy of Jule and her word of the season:Vintage!) Actually, it's more LUMA than Vintage, but who cares (secretly, I kinda did)!
Got to the show un-fashionably early, good thing I knew one of the photographers so didn't feel too out of place. I dragged Bev along and put her through the same trouble of finding the RIGHT outfit. She looked good in her black tube dress...i wore a black tube top too, embotido style nga lang! (If the stretched-to-the-max top could talk, it would say: GYM! GYM! GYM!)
The theme of the show was WHO ARE YOU WEARING? And as Scottsdale's most fashionable made their way into Neimans, they proudly announced the names of the geniuses behind the strips of cloth that barely covered their designer breasts...sorry, vests.
The fall line was really NICE (obviously, i'm not well-versed in fashion) I could actually see myself wearing some of the "featured outfits" BUT the only thing I could probably afford is the piece of tape dangling from a model's shoe. After half an hour, the show was over and so was the life of the poorly-charged batteries I stuck in our office's instamatic cameras. Kawawang camera, it looked so amateur beside the other photog's SLRs! AND it was a big mistake to wear a skirt/tube top - I couldn't crouch low enough to get the models' feet in the photos. So I'm guessing the cutlines for my amateur pics would probably read: "The fancy floating sticks..."

Bev and I left immediately after the show and headed straight for the sushi bar a few blocks down the road. The food was great! Viva Las Vegas roll!
