What a crazy whirlwind of a weekend. We started out with Rafi's semi-surprise birthday party Friday night, but Kendra and I could only stick around for the "surprise" part. We had to hit the road for Savannah to go to the fashion show some of our friends designed and created garments for. We arrived at 1:30a.m Saturday and helped Lezley pick out and outfit for her photoshoot that morning with the ever so good looking and famous designer Yigal Azrouel..after a few hours of trying on clothes and throwing them all over the place, we slept for a a little bit and woke up at 8a.m. for the shoot. It was quite funny..let me tell you why. Yigal mentored about 10 student designers this year, Lezley and Nathaly being two of them, and the photoshoot was centered around him with all of the student designers by his side. If you can imagine this, Lezley could care less about this part of the fashion industry..the glamorous side. She didn't care she was going to do a photoshoot with a famous designer. She wore a very eclectic and cute outfit along with her Cranberry inspired boots, while all the other girls wore the lowest cut, shortest dresses you will ever see. They were trying so hard to be noticed. The funny part is that Lezley was probably the one who cared the least about this photoshoot and gaining Yigal's attention, but the photographer positioned her right next to him. I wish you could see the way all the girls were gawking and smitten by him. It was hilarious. Then you have Lezley who didn't give him the time of day. I think Kendra has some pictures of it we will post later.
After that was done, Lezley, Kendra, and I went to the Soho Cafe for a delicious lunch, then Lezley went to the first show at 4pm while Kendra and I stayed at the house to do homework and nap.
We were going to the 8pm show. At 7, Lezley tells us to come to her aunt's hotel in the historic district, so we hurry off there and all of us get ready at the last minute because we can't seem to do it any other way. I had Lezley sewing my dress while it was half on me. Like I said, very last minute. We got ready and made it exactly on time. It was amazing. We saw Sachi there, along with Andre Leon Tally, J. Alexander (aka Miss J. from America's Next Top Model), Ruben and Isabel Toledo (who happen to be the cutest couple ever!), Mychael Knight (from Project Runway), Yigal, and other fashion people that I have no idea who they are. It was so cool. You know how at the end of the runway show, the designer walks out on the catwalk and waves? Well, Lezley skipped out on that part. Oh Lezley..Afterwards we went to the VIP after party because we are cool like that...not. It was fun though. We felt important for a split second. Kendra told the wait staff to bring all the hors d'oeuvres our way first. And they listened. haha.
We got back to Lezley's house really late. I think we went to bed around 2am or 3am. And I woke up at 6am to get ready for the drive back to Atlanta. We got back just in time for church at 11am. We have such perfect timing. Then lucky Kendra managed to go to the Coldplay concert that night with our good friends MC and Merridith, along with others.
That's about it. We have been going nonstop. 2 more weeks....can't wait..
Love,
-H
