Fashion Week - Fashion Weak
I lost my time over the last weekend just to spend on "Bangkok Fashion Week".
Though I love being somewhat "being fashionable" myself, it doesn't mean that the event would excite me so much that I would never leave it until the end. It was my boyfriend, Dan, who "got stuck" to photo shooting for his UNIFEM project. I looked at him working energetically, feeling tired myself and wishing we would take a break soon, I still couldn't stop being proud of what he was passionately doing anyways.
Not sure whether it was "lucky" or "tricky" of us to get access through all the shows being registered as an international media! Fortunately, we talked in English all the time although we both don't have a western look at all and the organizer including service teams also were very nice. We really appreciated that they were not so questioning for who we are or where we're from, thus they were supporting and taking a very good care of us.
On Saturday evening, I got into the Fashion Dome watching the "live" catwalk show for the first time of my life. It was a show of "Tube's Gallery"- the most funky and flashy show of the event I got to watch, with a retro concept collection. We ended up at a show by "Kiti's Jewelry" back in Super Catwalk, Pinary Hall, which wasn't very exciting for me even I personally love accessories, but I have to say that their stuffs are not really my type.
On Sunday after church, we headed back there again hopefully to attend to just a couple of interesting shows. But we were even more fortunate not only to get the badges for all the shows, but to get the back-stage access of "Kai Boutique" watching its sort of "behind the scene"! While all the models walking by, dressing up, posting rehearsal, chatting, taking their own photos, reading newspaper, I found it was quite chaos in there and started to get bored but Dan looked really enjoyed still, shooting continuously, and didn't seem to stop.
Dan even kept going for more back-stage thing by asking a team work guy to get us into another show, and we got it. "Sweet!", he said. So we got into Medium Rare's back-stage where they were preparing for a Red-Indian theme collection show. It was quite interesting but really packed and busy that I had to leave before Dan got kicked off a short while after that as they were starting the show. We still took photos around the area until quite last minute then left the event to return the lens and headed for a foot massage at Health Land Spa.
Looks like it was a good exciting experience - getting to see things I've never think I'd get to see and not everybody can easily have a chance for that either. I saw a bunch of well-known celebrities, models, actors and actresses or Hi-so people greeting each other, chatting, taking photos and stuffs. Well, you might think how delighted or excited I was feeling. But I'll say "Not at all"- I actually felt quite weak watching those scenes in front of me. I don't know why but guess I might be too tired standing, walking around, and hardly got to sit down anywhere.
The only one thing that could really interest me was the fashion trade area including the exhibition zone. Hehehe, I still can't stop shopping for clothes - but in the meantime, I try not to be "stuck" to it as Dan always says "dear, you really got stuck with clothes! oh..." Yeep, you may be right, dear, but trust me - I'm not gonna be like that, at least for good :p
I love fashion but it made me feel so weak over the last weekend, feeling also worried of my Chinese hand-writing homework which hasn't been done for almost 2 weeks. I wonder if other people would feel like I did - in some ways. Anyways, maybe this is how I feel more grown to pick up something more valuable for me.
Coz right now, my Chinese and spiritual studies are more important than anything, and that will never make me weak but grow strongly.
