It's finally over! The text messages and emails have slowed down and my phone is back to ringing maybe once every other day! This season was definitely more stress than any other season but it was lots of fun. It was very bittersweet for me because I will finally be moving out of Indiana and will miss all of the amazing people I've met along my journey in fashion! I attempted to have all of the models who were there in the beginning come back for this last show but hey, you can't win them all!

The scene backstage was pretty hectic, we had a small amount of space, about 35 models, lots of volunteers, hair and make-up teams and a lot of designers (7) who also brought assistants and others with them. If you can imagine you're at the circus and you see 12 clowns getting out of a two seater, then you will have painted yourself an accurate picture of the space to people ratio backstage.

Once all of the hair and make-up people arrived things began to calm down a little and I was able to sneak away to attempt to do my hair and make-up. Thank God for Nikk from Broad Ripple Hair Design because she was a life saver, my hair was totally out of control.

After with Jerry. The first model I ever worked with. |
So on to the show, I thought it was great. I can honestly say there was at least one piece from every collection that I wanted to take home and hang in my already crowded closet. Although we had volunteers, I some how allowed myself to get stuck backstage and didn't get to see much of the show. The crowd seemed to really enjoy the show although there was some confusion as to whether or not it was a fashion show or charity event and some people left rather upset for one reason or another. I would like to personally apologize to anyone who felt as if they were mistreated because to me, you're all an important part of the growth and development of Midwest Fashion Week!

I loved the vendor tables and got a really cool scarf from Stephanie of Blue Eyes And Bare Feet! There was photo booth and my babe and I took some really cute pictures! I think he was just happy to finally see my hair pressed and hanging down instead of twisted out in a curly fro! All-in-all I thought the event was great and had even more fun at the after-party!
