Side Show at Spiegeltent

This runway was really cool because it was at the famous Spiegeltent. The venue had the perfect vibe for the intimate Side Show Design runway.
Getting there was the first drama though as it was pouring rain and so I must have looked hilarious running to the venue with a big wool jumper over my head, slipping because the ground was so wet. Eventually I arrived, if not a little bedraggled, for hair and make-up. Because I've done some work for Side Show before I knew some of the other regular models so it was good to catch up with them again.
Before our runway was a circus "sideshow" act. I didn't get to see it as I was backstage but me and another model were hanging around about to get changed and this guy came out with giant fake teeth, scary makeup and bubble mix which gave us a bit of a fright! It was cool though I would have loved to see his act haha.
We walked to some old school music which was fun and different but also a challenge because it's difficult to walk really slow with a hint of burlesque and still make it look like a fashion runway.
There was day wear and also lingerie paraded. Lingerie was extra fun because we got to do a bit of a dance routine and I love dancing!
I haven't managed to get a hold of the professional shots yet but I do have one kind of blurry one taken from the crowd.
