Finals were held at The Arena CLarke Quay on Friday night. Everything just happened so fast… it’s all still a blur at the moment.
The day started off quite slow, with work in the morning, and rehearsals for the show in the afternoon. We spent a lot of time chatting, eating, playing cards, and waiting for time to pass. We were all not prepared on just how hectic it was going to be at 8pm!
The afternoon was spent getting our gorgeous locks done up by the Sebastian Hair styling team, and our sexy smoky-eye make up carefully applied by the Bobbi Brown team. I wish I had a hair stylist and make up artist for everyday of my life!! They just made it look so easy to make us look good! I can never get the smoky-eye make up nailed!
Personally… I think the 3 important things that attributes to your gorgeousness is
1. Styling (clothes)
2. Hair
3. Make-up.
All of which were done for us by the wonderful people back stage.
When it hit 8pm, everyone was in a mad rush to get changed, heel-ed and touched up. 3, 2, 1…SHOWTIME!
My heart was beating out of my chest; it was so hard to shake off those nerves! AHhhhh… Was so nervous I even made a mistake on the second walk…instead of joining my group of no.1-10, I ended up on the other side of the stage (as pictured below, number 4 is missing). Whoops! Not to mention the added pressure of those 3-inch heels from ALDO.
I met so many gorgeous people that day; Nat was in the 50GP too, so it was great catching up with her. She looked absolutely stunning, just like a Greek goddess! Then there’s Huda who happens to be Penns’ friend and a PInc customer! She’s such a sweet girl; it was such a pleasure to meet her in person.
I had 4 invites to the show, so I asked my mum, dad, sister and Wayne. My cousin Yvonne also happened to be there with them. Didn’t want to get extra invites…you know… minimise the embarrassment to just the family?!?!
So at the end of the evening, I walked away with:
- Canon Most Photogenic
- Miss Bebe-licious, and
- Female’s Gorgeous Female 2007.
My goodness, I just can not believe it! I SWEAR I wasn’t expecting ANY of this AT ALL!! Wow!
After the show, Rachel, Alan and I had our first call of duty, a small walk down to the Haagen Daz store for some ice-cream. The mango sorbet really helped to cool my nerves.
Just to end this post on a reflective note, I reckon there were people on that same stage as me who deserved to win. I wish everyone stayed to share that bottle of champagne. Nonetheless, I’m glad everyone had a good time, because ultimately that was the goal.
BIG HUGS & THANKS TO MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, COLLEAGUES AND CLIENTS WHO SACRIFICED HALF OF THEIR MORNING KOPI MONEY SMSING TO GET ME INTO THE TOP 10.
