sam_tom_samThe Nicole Moan corset show took place today at Spitalfields and went very well. Preparations started early in the morning. All the models went to the designer's flat to have our hair and make-up done by some very talented individuals. My look could be described as electroclash geisha.
I was given an Asian-style corset with red ribbons and some Oriental robes to wear. Nina did a fantastic job with my hair. She pinned it up and attached an extremely elaborate headdress made of red synthetic hair, black beads and feathers.
The make-up artist was amazing. For me, she created a Kabuki mask effect, with white foundation, deep red paint in the centre of my lips, black eyebrows, black and pink eyeliner and pink blusher. She also put white swirls and rhinestones on my back and shoulders. I wore my own accessories - black fingerless gloves and some golden jewellery with green stones.
We walked to Spitalfields, our own little carnival procession in the East End. There was quite a lot of waiting around before the show so we were able to practise a bit. In the end, the show went swimmingly. We just had to walk down the catwalk, strike some poses at the end, and walk back again. I tried to assume an Oriental demeanour, standing with my hands pressed together in front of me, or fanning my robes out on either side of me and then gathering them together again. I was relieved I didn't fall over as there were many photographers and quite a large crowd.
Walking back to the flat was agony, as the £10 shoes I had bought the previous day in Peckham were killing me. Overall, though, I enjoyed myself and Nina said Nicole was pleased with everyone's performance. Many photos were taken but only a few have been released so far. I'm second from the left in the picture below.
