Echo Park Independent Co-op [EPIC] hosted a fashion show on 3/14 featuring
SOLDAT,
ISM Mode,
Hovey Lee and
PERI.
In
Part 1, I was positioned along a display wall...
I was in the middle of drawing this girl in the crowd:
"Excuse me, but you're going to have to move. You're too colorful."
And so I was relocated from my excellent spot near the model platform to an area near some clothing racks where I could see the models for a minute or two as they posed. I was so rattled that I left my "camera" (phone) on a shelf and couldn't retrieve it until after the show. The sketching suffered. I did what I could [apologies to
Hovey Lee -- I didn't realize what your segment was showcasing until after your scene was over]:
I could rant on and on, I'm still very annoyed. However, I will be gracious and act like a lady.
It was unfortunate, my creativity was hampered -- but the show wasn't "about" me, was it. I understand.
Next time, I will dress "more professionally" and wear Suzy Menkes Black.*
And if I'm STILL asked to move, I will know that it's for other, uglier reasons.
I'm linking up with
Patti's Visible Monday -- she appreciates a stand out look.
