8th August : Project Runway'08 Fashion Show

Mas was already at work, aiding Shirley with the costume in one of the function rooms at the Students' Hub, when Sheela and I arrived at 1pm. To ensure that the bottom half of the costume would not loosen and fall, we had to resort to 'borrowing' some string from one of the clubs on the sly. (They had coincidentally stored some materials in the room...shhh.)





Daniel popped by a while later and was asked to comment on the henna by Sheela, thus beginning an amusing conversation :

Sheela : So how's the henna?
Daniel : (peers at the henna) Hmm...can lah!
Sheela : (looks questioningly at Daniel) Hmm? Nono...it's pronounced as hen...na.
Daniel : ??

LOL.


After the costume was settled, there was still much to be done. Mas and Sheela then proceeded to touch up Shirley's hair while Phey Ying and Ruth began the task of painting Shirley's nails with the five Olympic colours.


The touching up of Shirley's hair was a little tricky though. Several hair pins were needed and Phey Ying had to use lots of hair spray to make Shirley's ponytail sufficiently stiff. Still, the end-result was awesome!


Mission accomplished! Many thanks to the modeling team for the conscientious effort - Ann, Mas, Phey Ying, Ruth and Sheela!


Team Sapphire girls! (Gasp! Sorry Ruth, I blocked you from the camera!)

Team Sapphire guys with Shirley!

And finally, everyone together!
Thanks to the guys who chiong-ed to the venue quickly, we managed to occupy almost the entire row of seats at the back, with a rather good view of the T-stage.


Check out the following video clip for Shirley's graceful catwalk, not forgetting Wilson's brief cameo appearance!



It was an intense competition with creative masterpieces from the various GESL groups. Though Team Sapphire did not make it into the semi-finals, all of us truly did our best and I'm certain we enjoyed the competition process. And to Shirley, you were a wonderful and courageous model! Thanks! =D
