My first Runway show.

So I had a wonderful opportunity to be part of a runway show here in SLC.  It was the RAW Couture show that is held annually for up and coming designers in the area. I was lucky because I had met Olga a designer while helping out at a high school student showcase at the SLCC. I gave her my contact info and two of her models flaked out on her the day of her showcase. So she called me and said can you please walk and I thought oh yes yes yes I can so I did  and it was a blast.  I love runway I want to do runway every week but alas that is impossible.
Some of you are probably thinking well this girls is brand new why in the world would anyone think she can walk without training.  Well I had been practicing for quite some time reading and watching instructional videos but I think what really gave me the confidence and ability is my background in theatre. I love putting on a show and  acting is important in runway  you have to put forth  an attitude that sort of reflects the garment that is being displayed. I critique myself after everything I do and I know I will do much better the next time around but for a first this was pretty well done/  I really hope I get a character piece one of these days I would rock it.
