Sacramento's Next Top Model

NOT! ...but I did get to catch a glimpse into the life of the tall and beautiful last night after I agreed to be a part of a fashion show that was sponsored by Nordstrom's Women's Active and The Rail departments, where we modeled, yikes, bikinis and boardshorts! The fashion show was held at Social, a chic night club downtown.

The show was scheduled to start at 10:30pm, but the "models" arrived at the club at 7:30 for hair and makeup (hair by Mosaic Salon and makeup by MAC). I felt like such a star with 3 people working on me at the same time! We were supposed to get spray tans too, which would have been nice for my farmer's tan body that I've acquired from running outdoors, but alas, the tanning salon backed out last minute. Oh, well! Hopefully the bird nest on top of my head was enough to distract everyone from my white belly!

Wayne arrived at 10pm to support me! The classic dork that he is (which I love), he hung around the wall and read a Star Trek book on his PDA while he waited for me. At least he looked good (and at least he wasn't carrying around the actual book)! I had called earlier to remind him about the dress code, and good thing I did, because he was planning on wearing khakis and a polo; cute, but not very "club-like". So I navigated him through his closet over the phone to pick out a dark button down shirt (which I untucked when I saw him and rolled the sleeves up), dark rinse jeans, and black shoes. (By the way, Mr. To was voted "best dressed" by the students this year! I feel just as proud and flattered as if I had received the award myself). I know he felt completely out of his element, so I'm really thankful he came. Thanks, Sweetheart!

The show finally started at 11pm. We each rocked two outfits, in which we had to get in and out of super quickly, and 2o minutes later (if even), it was over! What a whirlwind! Definitely a fun and different experience! (Good thing I have no shame!)
