RedRunway Fashion Show #2 (18.7.09)

August2

Red Runway’s second fashion show event, this time held at the Minshell Mas Camp, Chagaramas. The models graced the “plank” strutting their stuff. However there was nothing ‘red’ at this event, no red carpet not even a red ‘woodway’. The surroundings could have been more decorative as well as some more lights, afterall the main event is a fashion show, not an ole fete. Despite that, it was a great night as i met a certain person, who knows themself and I was told the white pants was tight.. see FB for details. :)
