15.11 - Le défilet de mode

I slept like a stone this night and woke up when I heard that Alice and Clé came home from school at 11.40. Today they had some kinda special day at school even though it's Saturday. I took a shower and prepared myself as well as possible for the modelling défilet this afternoon/evening.

For breakfast/lunch I had a lot of pannukakku from yesterday. 😄 i simply love that! Soon I went to Lille to meet some friends and later go to Marek for the modelling. Anthony went with Alice and Clé to their gymnastics, Céline cooked some pie for bringing to their friends this evening and Martin enjoyed staying calm and reading comics.

In Lille I met up with Iara, Pat and Finja and we went to the muffin café close to Grand Place. That Café has wonderful muffins, triple choco, speculos, wildberry, caramel, m&m's, nutella... And on weekends they have an offer, 2 for 3€. With four persons it was perfect and we shared all so everyone could taste of everyone's. We staid there chatting for a while until I had to leave to go to Marek's.

I was perfectly in time and Marek seemed a bit nervous. In fact, I was also a little bit nerveus because I hadn't ever done anything like this. Mostly I worried about walking with the high-heels and doing the poses.

We were four models, three girls and a boy, and there was also a professional to do the makeup and a photograph who took professional photos. I tried still some clothes and then I was the first one to be maked up. I had never had a makeup made by a professional and she did it for about 20 min and used kinds of makeup that I didn't even know that existed. I didn't look like myself at all.

Before the show everyone could have a glass of champagne and enjoy many different luxurious cocktail snacks. In some dresses I felt a bit uncomfortable but others were just fabulous.

When the défilet began, everything went just really fast. With four persons we had just enough time to get changed. It felt strange not to wear underwear under all clothes and then to get changed in the same room with men and having Marek to help out. Grace to the finnish naked sauna culture, that I'm used to, and knowing that the people around me know what they're doing, I still felt confident.

There were about 30 invited guests, much more than I expected, watching the défilet. In the saloon we models entered one by one and walked around a bit, doing a lot of poses and showing up the clothes and bags. There was some kind of catwalk music in the background and the photographer shooted photos simultaneously.
After the show I felt very lightened. Everything went well and when I told to some people that this was the first time I was doing any clothing or photo modelling, they seemed a bit surprised and told me that I seemed really relaxed and self-confident walking and doing poses.

When I took off the high-heels and put on my own clothes (Nightwish t-shirt, jeans, dress jacket and my "cosmic shoes") I didn't feel any fancy anymore, but just like myself and relaxed. Marek gave us all models a small bag, that he has designed. I chose a red one.
For desert we got a heavenly good cake with chocolate cake on the bottom, a layer of raspberry jam, chocolate moussé, raspberry moussé and the whole cake was covered with cream moussé and decorated with macarons. That was seriously one of the best cakes I ever tasted!

Everyone staid to chat for a while about the presentation and guests came to thank for the show. It was an amazing feeling and I'm very thankful of having had the possibility to get such an unique experience.

I returned home at 21. Anna was at home taking care of the children this evening because the parents were on a birthday party. Anna was a bit ill and left when I came home. The children asked me why I was masked, because of my makeup. We watched tv for a while and then I put the children to bed. Alice had already fallen asleep on the couch, so her I just had to carry up ti her bed and with Clé I read a short story and she fell asleep. Sometimes they can just be so cute. Martin I allowed to still stay a bit longer awake and read in his room.

I staid downstairs for a long while before going to bed around midnight. I sat on the computer, ate something and skyped with Greta. The parents came home at 3 am.
