I don't mind the act of runway modelling, but I do mind the timesuck. Last night, I modelled at 10:30. But I had to meet up with the other models at 4. I didn't get home until almost 2 in the morning. That's a lot of time for one little (and I do mean little) outfit.

I wore the cheekiest skirt ever. The bottom half of my bottom was hanging out on full display. Seriously, my swimsuits cover far more.

A couple of the models wore waist-cinchers with no tops, but electrical tape on their boobs. As we lined up to sashay down the catwalk, I overheard a bouncer tell the bartender, "I love my job!"

Theoretically, pictures are forthcoming.

Hamilton is a filthy city obscured by smog. Everything I saw of the city made me think of the bad parts of Toronto. My asthma is in effect right now, and I was only there the one night. I think I'd rather not go back there again. I hate all this coughing and wheezing.

On the way back, my driver got lost in Hamilton, going the wrong way. That got straightened out. We saw a car rear-end another just outside Hamilton (not severely, though). And then, somehow, my driver got turned around again, and I, the one not from this area unlike the driver and the other passenger, was the one who noted we were actually in Mississauga, which is very much going the wrong way. If I hadn't said anything, who knows when they would have turned around? I'm guessing the CN Tower might have clued them in, but I'm not sure about that....

Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye to you, redlyra. I didn't get a chance because I only found out I could get an early ride home about 30 seconds before they left.

One of the other models at the show was a professional model who'd done a show in Milan for Mossimo's spring line. She's six feet tall, and had to keep her weight to 115 pounds or under. Jayzus.

Ack!

I just went to make myself a cup of tea, and as I was pouring milk into it, I realized it wasn't milk at all, but orange juice! I tried the tea, but it just didn't taste good. So now I'm making another cup, and this one will taste right.

This makes me very sad. Some people are naturally thin, but I think purposely staying that thin is unnatural.

I think that healthy 6'-tall 115-pounders are a very rare natural phenomenom. I'm 5'9", and when I was 110 pounds, I looked like human skeleton.

Having come from Fredericton, which seems to win the "Canada's Cleanest City" award year after year, seeing an industrial city is a bit of a gross-out, for sure.

New Brunswick tries to concentrate most of its grossness around Saint John, and possibly the Miramichi :V

Eh, the Shi isn't nearly as gross as St. John, imo. It helps that it's more rural.

Hamilton is much, much cleaner than what it used to be! But you are right, it is on the icky side. When I was there this past summer, I really noticed that it was difficult to breathe, especially on the really hot days (and I don't even have asthma!).

I hope you had fun modelling!

Orange juice, milk ... what's the difference?

Nothing, except, one comes from a fruit...one comes from cows...one is acidic, the other basic...one is a plant product, one is a dairy product...one is orange, one is white...One tastes like oranges, and one tastes like...well, milk...

but other than that, not so much... ;)
