RIP THE RUNWAY 2009

What an inspiring show, so much talent
I have never been to something like it.
So much hard work went into it and it
showed.

Backstage was chaotic, full of rehearsal's
hairspray,clothing,half naked models and
photographers it was great.
When it came down to the actual show
it started with a dance number which a friend
of mine Sabrina.C had put together it really
set the tone for the whole show, the mc was up
beat and super fun, the DJ was good and got
the attenders really hyped for it all!

there was even a minute of silence for the
great Michael Jackson which got me a bit
teary eyed.

Congratulations to all the designers
You all did an amazing job, I am
thankful that your all representing
Calgary with your art and fashion.

These hair sculptures are created by Nagi Noda, a Japanese art director, and no it's not their real hair. The animals are hair weaves created over a mold or wire mesh. Crazzzzzzzzyy!!!

And! She's done a lot more than just hair. She's directed music videos, commercials, worked with photography, interior design, and of course fashion, which she and Mark Ryden designed the line Broken Label . I am in love with everything she's done. She inspires me. Marry me?
