The morning after

It is the day after the Diversity Fashion Show and I am officially shattered, but surprisingly still on a high! I slept like a baby last night but still woke up tired and with hair that looked like a huge bush.

Next time I'll remember to brush all the hair spray out properly!! If your wondering why my hair was covered in hairspray well that's because for the show we all had our hair and make up done by professionals.

When it came to my turn I wasn't sure what to have done so I let them go wild and wild they certainly did. OMG!! I couldn't believe it when I looked in the mirror after part of me wanted to cry but the other part was like wow look how different it is, it's amazing. I couldn't believe it was only held up with grips and hairspray, well a lot of hairspray I should say!

I have to say I have never felt the way I did when it came to lining up behind the screen ready to come on....I was shaking like mad and couldn't breathe! I wanted to get out of there but knew there was no going back and all that hard work would have been for nothing, so I just went for it and walked out. WOW is all that came into my head when I stepped out and saw everyone, the lights and the camera's! The nerves were meant to go but they didn't but I was thinking what the hell just go for it girl and that's what I did! The confidence came more and more as I took part in the different catwalks.

First off was Stafford College. These outfits had been made by students like you and I. They were that good they had even made an appearance at the Clothes Show at the NEC in Birmingham last year.



Second was Newcastle College, this was one of my favorite outfits of the night. I had to wear a black top with a big white flower that had been made again by students and I thought it was gorgeous.

The third catwalk I took part in was Principles. Now I know what your thinking...that's a shop for old people, well not anymore they have re-branded and released a new line which I do have to say looked smart and classy. The same sort of things Broadcast Journalism students have to wear for a Newsday.

My fourth catwalk was Stafford College again but this time it was their neon collection. This was a very weird and strange catwalk but it looked amazing.


The final catwalk was Burlesque. Yes I had to walk down in front of people I didn't know in my underwear!!! Mad? Yes I was! In this catwalk we had to wear corsets, hold-up's or stockings and tutu's that had been made for us with tails to match in the same colour. Each of us had a different colour so we stood out. Seen as it was the very last catwalk of the show we tried to make a memorable one, and that we did, with our sexy walks and seductive moves with Drew the male model, I'm sure people will remember it for a while! Kiss by Prince will stay with me for a very long time, reminding me of the awesome time we had up on the catwalk.

For the Finale we all made our own tops to show our diversity. Each person had the same top and same colour paint but could put whatever they wanted on the front of the top to show that we are individual but the same as well. The idea's that came out was brilliant!


The weeks of practice and planning made the final results fantastic! Everyone worked so hard and it all paid off in the final show. Each catwalk was perfect and gorgeous. No one made any mistakes and it all ran smoothly.

The show was a huge success and I had so much fun. The experience was amazing and I will never forget it. I also made some great friends during the whole thing and will stay in contact with them for a very long time!

Your all STAR'S and deserve a big CHEER for all your hard work :D
